Last week I was quite tired. Over the weekend we had a wedding to attend and Olivier started to get sick. Instead of having the boys at a sleepover we had my brother come and watch the kids and I came home early to take care of him. As a result I have now gotten…
Yesterday I had my gastroscopy to verify that everything went well with the surgery last year and to make sure that the cancer has not returned. The first time I did it I was not sedated and was able to drive back home that same day. This time I opted to be sedated so I…
