Hello, My Fabulous Friends and Family!
Hope you’ve had a great week so far. I’m doing well. This last chemo (last Monday) was a little tougher than the other two--as is to be expected. Not Monday or Tuesday because the steroid (for nausea) is a total upper for me. It gives me tons of energy and I get super-pumped but I also lose brain function and am a bit loopy. Not the best combination. Poor Scott. It’s like having a sugared-up toddler in the house.[...]
It is a Super Fantastic day! You guys are doing great on your prayers! The chemo went without a hitch--though I did spill my water all over the floor in the chemo room. I think the nurse wanted to take my water cup away from me after that. I told her I wouldn't put my feet up on the table anymore. Whoops! Poor nurses. They have to do everything, including janitorial duties. Thank you to all you nurses out there. You rock![...]
Chemo #3 has begun! And I don't have to do Benadryl unless I want to...and I most definitely do NOT want to...so, YAY! Plus, I get a chair this time. All is good. No. All is GREAT!
Hello, Amazing Friends and Family!
It’s been a fabulous week! I wish you could see me and how marvelous I feel: No nausea. No drowsiness. Food tastes good. It’s truly miraculous. God has given me wonderful results! I never expected to feel this well. God is the Great Healer (Ps. 103:3) and this week He’s allowed me to experience “normal” again. Truly miraculous![...]
As expected, it’s been a slower few days. Sleepy is the word. (I barely made it dressed before the piano teacher came. Whew!) The ick for food is there but I can still eat. It’s just that nothing looks good and kitchen smells are yuck. However, I’m amazingly well. No mouth sores! Nausea is backing off. All is good.[...]
As I've written before, “…The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” (James 5:16) [...]
Boredom! Yep. First-world problems! (Hint: you have to scroll down to the picture section at the bottom of the page or click photos in the menu above to see the full photo--these fly-by ones just show part of the picture.)[...]
So, the first is the picture of what I see out my window. Behind curtain #1 is the commode. I believe you all know what one looks like. Anyway, I just want to point out the amazing view I have when using said commode. Notice the walkway. It's fun to wave at the people walking by. They don't wave back. [...]
