Our bodies are a miracle. When we listen they tell us everything we need to know.

My heart is having its moment right now. I’ve been having some symptoms and tests have been done, and now I’m wearing a handy little heart monitor. I’m not quite bionic, but I have got a little machine on my chest reading my heart rhythm. Luckily I don’t have restrictions, and I only have to wear it for four days.

With an insistent and kind nudge from my health care providers, I’ve agreed to take time off work to reduce my stress load. So I’ll be at home, homing, for the next few weeks. I have an amazing team at school supporting me while I’m gone, and two wonderful substitute teachers. I’m so grateful I am ok, that I have health care, and that I am listening to my body.

Yes I love meals and loving cards. It’s easiest for me to have food gift cards so I can order things when I need them. My appetite isn’t like it used to be pre-cancer, and with the stress I have lost a lot of weight. It’s not bad, it’s still in a healthy range. I just need to eat what sounds good in the moment.

I love you all. I know you have my back. And I’m overcome with that.
