Kristine's Anatomy

I have to be honest, I don't get much sleep these days. I've been back to work for a couple of weeks now. I go in a little later than I used to in order to catch some extra sleep in the morning, but early nonetheless. Kristine's mom is up early as well. She heads over to the center to sit with Kristine and help her through the day from 7:30 to around 5 or 6. She does get a break here and there when one of Kristine's friends stops by or she goes into physical therapy. I take the evening shift from around 6 to 11 or 12. I then come home, walk the dog, post on the blog if I have a minute and go to bed, lying awake until my mind calms down enough to fall asleep.

When I'm at the center Kristine and I talk about our days, while I message her legs upon request. We occasionally watch TV and on Thursday Kristine likes to watch Grey's Anatomy, a show about an overly dramatic Seattle hospital with incredibly unrealistic but I guess entertaining plot lines. I bring this up, firstly, because I'm amazed that anyone would ever want to watch a show about surgery after just having had major surgery themselves. Secondly, the plot lines in the past two weeks' episodes have hit especially close to home. Last week a 10 year old girl was transferred from one hospital to another due to an inoperable Leiomyosarcoma -- the same rare cancer that Kristine has (apparently Leiomyo- is now a hot TV drama cancer). This week a woman had a brain tumor that was causing paralysis and had to be operated on. If you ask me who needs TV medical drama when you have Kristine and her blog.

I'm going to try and get to sleep.

P.S. Thanks for all your great responses on the blog. They really keep us going.
