POST-CHEMO Update!

Here's an official update to the world:

• Today I'm at 11 weeks (77 days) post-Chemo.
• My hair is growing back. No more bald. And I'm so excited about it. It's really soft and I'm kind of tempted to never cut it again. It's still the same color, but I do have a huge annoying cowlick that wasn't there before.
• The only real side-effects I'm [still] feeling are neuropathy in my feet and fatigue.
• I had an appointment and CT scan up at the Huntsman Cancer Institute on Tuesday. Scan was CLEAR!!
• As long as things stay good and scans stay clear, I'm done with this cancer! No more. Goodbye.
• I'm working four days a week (my full schedule is five days), which is exhausting by Saturday night. Nevertheless, I LOVE being back at the temple.
• I seriously can't even explain how much I love my mission. I have had so many experiences where I am recognizing the Lord's hand in my life and that He really is there.
• I met Joe J Christensen and his family. I spent an hour with them. If you don't know who he is, look him up! Hint: Emeritus General Authority!
• I was switched to the morning shift in the Cafeteria on Saturdays, so I have to leave Cedar by 6 a.m.!
• If I'm guessing right, I have less than FOUR WEEKS LEFT in my mission- but I should have my official release date next Sunday.
• St. George is hotter than crap.
• USU in mid-to-late-August is still the plan. Got my apartment and class schedule set up.
• Donations to the Erik Gray College Fund are welcomed. ;)
• I'm running again! Shooting for the Cedar Half Marathon in September!
• Life is great. Seriously.
• My family is the best. I can't believe I'm so lucky to be blessed with them all.
• I love my calling, my ward, and all of you! Thanks for all you do.
• Keep running.
