Yes a new career opportunity has arisen. It's called rescuing the cat
the cat from the roof. Sophie, is now 18 and her back legs are not once they once were. She can climb up with ease, down however is an entirely different thing. Record for rescuing said cat - yesterday 4 times including once with an audience cheering me on. Moral of the story: never try to reason with an Abyssinian.
On another career front Amy has finally started her focus group for cancer survivor care. We've only had one meeting so far. It's VERY clear from sharing our stories I was the "luckiest" of the group as I already knew most all the players before I started. I heard some real horror stories from around that table. We all know what we don't want, now we just have to figure out what we DO want. The great thing about Amy's project is she has 3 focus groups, the oncologists, the primary care physicians and us to bounce ideas off of. I've been waiting for her to start this group since I finished treatment and ended up on the edge of a cliff. If I hadn't had the good since to take Dr. Sanity's hand when it was offered I'm sure I'd be dead and wouldn't that be ironic. Survive the treatment, cure the disease and not survive the aftermath.
