Last night, I lay down in our rocking swing and watched the bats from my back porch. We have three or four bats that come out each night around sundown to eat the bugs. Staring up at the sky, it was fascinating watching them dive and swoop and feed. I started to think about how small I am, how small we all are, and about what my place in God's plan is.
I came to no firm conclusions.
I'd wax more philosophic, but I've been doing a lot of that lately, and don't want to wear my readers out with a lot of navel-gazing nonsense. Suffice it to say that I've been thinking a great deal about where I fit into the scheme of things, and why this whole experience has been handed to me. I feel like there should be a reason for all of this, but I doubt that I'll find out that reason.
As for pain, today was better than Friday, which was better than Thursday, which was better than Wednesday. It seems the lumbar puncture and its headaches are going away, albeit ever so slowly. I hope that by Mon or Tues they will be completely gone.
This afternoon, I had old friends from my high school over. It was great getting together again. Not quite like old times - we had the kids in tow - but I really enjoyed spending time with them and just talking the way you do with people you've known forever.
Tomorrow, a good friend of mine from University (JMU) is coming over. I look forward to a repeat of today's experience.
By the way, the results from the initial analysis of the spinal fluid came back. It looks like there is no evidence of the lymphoma cells in the spinal column. So that is good news. Hopefully, future tests will show the same.
