The zapping is done!

Well, just as gas prices are tipping over $4.00, I do not have to drive back and forth to Dallas for radiation any more! I finished my last round Monday, and received a lovely certificate assuring me I am done! I will not miss the daily trek at all. The radiation was for my back (where the surgery was) and my right pelvis and leg. I do not have any pain in my right leg anymore!

Camp songs anyone? Jadyn and Bryn have spent all week at a fun camp at my aunt Sandy's school. They had a blast! Katelyn excitedly left for church camp today in Oklahoma. The yikes will attend a local day camp, Camp Thurman, next week. Wow! I am glad we have not had one speck of summer boredom...yet!

I am working on setting up water therapy. I have one more week of home health and then, hopefully, transition right into the pool!

Speaking of a pool, I found a great hotel for our San Antonio vacation in July that has an ADA Wheelchair lift into the pool! I might look a little conspicuous getting into the pool, but the time I will be able to spend with the girls will be worth it. To think last year I was concerned about how my bathing suit looks. Now, that is not a speck on my radar as I try to adapt to our new normal. I am grateful for the opportunity to make memories with the girls this summer.

As we are close to Father's Day, let me just say that I have the best guy around. When I think of what he did not sign up for, but does as if he wants to, I am so humbled. I often wonder if I would be as patient and grateful, loving and encouraging if the roles were reversed. I hope so. But, I don't have to hope with Jake. He does it all. And, all the while being such a great, hands-on dad too. The girls and I all feel so fortunate that God has blessed us with a husband and dad we admire, love, and respect.

Much love,
Jess
