This past week was a little different. Wait. i can’t start all my posts with that! If anything, i am learning the only thing that is “consistent”, is that it is not consistent. Or the only thing that is the same, is that it is different! ha ha.
Don’t get me wrong, so far the chemo seems to be much easier on my body overall. However, this time i started with a body that was still weak from last year, so i guess i can’t really compare the two. i feel great as long as i’m sitting or laying down. Almost normal! Then i decide to walk in the kitchen to get a drink, and i get winded and shaky. So i’ll continue to sit whenever possible!
So this last monday i had an infusion. The next day, some of the SE started. Surprise! Made for an interesting week. i found out that applesauce is a pretty good main course. But i am very excited that i am on the way back up, on the same week as Thanksgiving! i am so looking forward to turkey with all the trimmings.
i’m thankful that i don’t have to cook the turkey – my brother and his youngest daughter make a great meal. i’m thankful that i’ll get to see at least some of my brothers kids and grandkids. i’m thankful that i’ll be bringing leftovers home, so i can enjoy the meal on Friday too! There are so many things i am thankful for. Things i never took the time to think of before.
Family. Snuggle time with Cuddles and Casper.
Friends/Neighbors: Always there. Helping and encouraging.
Work. It’s been the wildest 20 months ever, and their support has been amazing.
Hair. Yes, even when it is out of control.
Home. Power. Blankets. Fireplace. Reruns of NCIS. Being able to go to the grocery store without help or using a motorized cart.
Dad & technology. i really need to write that book! ha ha.
This is just a short list. We all have our own list. And it makes my heart hurt when i think that there are those who don’t have these comforts. Thank You Lord. Forgive me Lord. Soli Deo Gloria.
