I woke up with the sunrise yesterday clueless as to the extent of the day. The longest day of the year. Had plenty of energy and thought well, I'll get so things done. The rain had already watered my precious plants, so that was done for. So I thought I would read since my head wasn't hurting, but for some reason i couldn't find where I was reading the last time. I forgot to mark the page (this happens when you are getting chemo poured into your head twice a week) I had two appointments and was a little nervous about the reaction my body would have toward radiation and then chemo in my head. For the first time since all of this began I teared up a little. But my precious husband held me tight and Holy Spirit gave strength and only a few tears rolled. Then God's joy came over me and moved me forward. Tommy took me to the dr. and we got to hang out and chat about how God is working in our lives and how amazing it is to me that our two children are involved with music. I can't wait to see what He is working on with those two children. They are like day and night and so special (well, you know, they are mine, I have to show them off a bit). Tommy lights up every time we talk a about a sound board all the gadgets that go with his part of engineering sound. And Lauren, well, she just simply sings in sucha special way, I believe angels stop and listen. Just a little pride and honor about our children.
Back to yesterday, my visit to the radiologist was smoother than I expected. It lasted about thirty minutes and they marked me up in certain places. The visits will be between 15 and 30 minutes long and side effects may include cough, and fatigue, and maybe discolored skin areas. three times a week until further notice. Dr. Freedman, my oncologist is doing some test next week to see if I shall continue chemo on my head, once or twice a week. I'm praying for NO more chemo on my head. YOU guys do so too, for me.
After the radiologist Tom and I had lunch and it was kind of funny because he bought a childrens meal so that i could have ice cream afterwards. Is in it funny? We reversed our roles and I truly enjoyed having him order for me. I did feel like a little girl. I love that boy so much. I thank God that both our children are here for us. We are so proud of them.
Sorry I'm rambling but remember yesterday was a loooong day, so we ended up waiting a long time at the oncologist office, but they gave me a bed to rest so I wouldn't be uncomfortable. After waiting for what it seems like hours we drove home, yet another hour and I was ready for night. However, silly me divided my pills before bed time and proceeded to go to bed without my meds. Talk about a long day :) I could not understand why i couldn't sleep and was so achey. Well, Duh, I left my pills on the kitchen counter allllll night long. So today when I got up, there they were, waiting on me. So ofcourse i took them right away so I can catch up on headache and discomfort. Pray for joy, peace, faith, strength for my self and loved ones. As some of you know my youngest sister also had breast surgery last week and she needs to decide what type of therapy she will have to do. I beleieve she needs to do radiation as well so please pray she will follow through and do well. She's younger and stronger so I know she can bounce back right away.
Well, sorry about rambling, but yesterday was a long day. God bless all of you. Enjoy the rain from last night. Blessings, to all of you, Doris
