5 Year Anniversary

Today is the 5th anniversary of Henry's big thyroid surgery and cancer diagnosis.  In some ways I can't believe it's been 5 years and in some ways it doesn't seem like it ever happened.  

Henry is fine.  He is healthy.  He does whatever he wants to do.  Every morning he takes his thyroid pill.  Every six to twelve months he has blood work and doctors appointments.  The thyroid pill is easy and he is really good to remember to take it every day, first thing.  The blood work is more painful and anxiety inducing but it's never as bad as he thinks it is going to be and we push through it.  I sometimes worry about the results of his blood tests but they have never been anything other than normal; if they are off a bit, it only means a tweak in medication dosage.  No big deal.

So, five year later, we have this:

Happy Anniversary!
