Update, early May

It's been just two weeks since I last wrote, correction, since my brother last wrote; I will not take full responsibility for anything in that last post. I am slowly getting stronger, and am enjoying family and friends when I have the opportunity. Opportunities have been limited by the weather, schedules, and fatigue level. I have difficulty concentrating and focusing at times, somewhat due to the cancer and the medications used to fight the symptoms. My pain level is mostly under control although finding a balance between pain relief and a clear head is sometimes a challenge. More often then not, I am enjoying the changing weather, my family (especially Violet when I get the chance), visits from friends, gifts of meals well prepared, cards, and other expressions of support and love. My wife helped me with this entry, so I again will not take full responsibility for anything in this post! As always, thank you to one and all for that love and support. It not only means a lot to me, but to my family as well.
