Shell shock

Wednesday night. We're still in Atlanta; Jimmy needed to attend to some bank related business, so here we are. (Last night we stayed at The Grand Hyatt in Buckhead for $75, thank you Priceline, and tonight we're at the Holiday Inn Express in McDonough for $89. What's wrong with this picture?)

We were so surprised by the phenomenal report Jimmy got yesterday, and we're thrilled about it, but...it feels so weird. When Jimmy was first diagnosed, we were in complete shock - life as we knew it was suddenly bizarrely something else. But like everything in life, eventually the unthinkable can become routine.

So now that the Cancer War has consumed us for eighteen months, and what we have prayed for every day has happened...I think we're in shock again. It doesn't seem real, and we've forgotten what "normal" feels like. But I'm sure we'll figure it out.
