Waiting and Watching in the Sun

Josh tackled the water slides of The Beach Waterpark today. I planned to have one shot at pictures because I didn't think he would do it a second time!


Josh was pleased with himself for trying out the slides. He wasn't offerring a second go for my photo taking attempts, but he was happy for having been once.


Kevin didn't fare as well at the waterpark. One step into the wave pool and he was in instant pain from the neuropathy in his feet. Who would have imagined the water would be so cold this late in the summer?

We retreated to dry ground and enjoyed watching Josh drag his mom and Rob through the maze of slides and pools. The plus side of grandparenting--we watch while they hike all over after the kid!


Kev's disappointed that the neuropathy continues. It appears to be worsening; it's certainly changing from the numbness he's had for weeks. It hurts now. Maybe the increased tingling and pain is part of the healing of those damaged nerves.


Healing continues to be a waiting game. On one hand, being able to watch and wait means he made it through alive. On the other hand, it frustrates him to have felt so good before he knew he had cancer and to feel so crappy now that the cancer is gone.
