Glen decided that he really really wanted to go back to work today. Actually, he wanted to go yesterday, but between the weather and having to go help my sis-in-law get my mother settled in the hospital I said no. So today it was nice out, and we headed out, stopped at Starbucks, then headed up to Sunnyvale. Now.. understand that because Glen works at Lockheed (0perative word LOCK) dropping him off at work is not nearly as easy as it sounds. I actually drop him off at the credit union, which is a couple blocks away, and he walks in to the plant. Then I left and drove to Fremont, met Kathy at the hospital, went and grabbed some breakfast with Kev & Rushi, got back to the hospital just as they were bringing Mom back from her biopsy. Spent some time with her, talked with her doctor and pulmonologist, and it was time to go pick Glen up from work.. but this is about Glen, not me, so I digress.

When we got home, he insisted going out for a run/walk. Tried to convince him he'd already exercised today just getting to and from the office but..... It took him longer than usual, and he was pretty down when he got back. Got him something to drink, and he went and napped for a while before dinner. Kevin made "pastalaya" for dinner for us tonight... he's modified his jambalaya recipe to make it easier for Glen to swallow, and a big change is using pasta instead of rice. It was very yummy.

In my opinion.. Glen totally overdid today, and just for good measure it was hot and humid all afternoon. It was frustrating because he's been so much more relaxed and content the past three weeks.. to see it all evaporate in one day back to work was sad. He just wasn't himself (even his "new self") tonight, and his color wasn't great. So we'll let him go in tomorrow and then reevaluate. If at some point Kevin and I have to step in and say "No.. you're not working any more" we will.. but I want to give him every chance to make his own decisions first.
