Sorry that webpage hasn’t been up in awhile, lots of things going on that I cannot take care of (webpage is actually taken care of in VA by a friend of mine and the servers went down over the weekend so nadda).
Treatment went alright Friday, its the 3rd one of 12 total, so those math majors (or 3rd graders for that matter) should know that that means i am 25% of the way done. The doc said that by “feeling” my enlarged lymph noide, that he “thinks” it isn’t as firm or as large. Says that I have gained some weight which is a good thing and that my White Blood Cell count is up (thanks to the Nulasta shots Amy has the enjoyment of giving me every day after treatments). So things are looking up.
Saturday we went to church, which is a good thing since my principle presented me with a “prayer” quilt from her daughter in laws church down in FL. I will try to post some pics of it soon as well as take it to VA this weekend for my folks to see. It’s a cool quilt that has pairs of thread all over it, and if someone wants to pray for me, they tie a little knot on a pair of strings. So there are lots of strings with knots. After church we went home, had a little lunch and then I just tried to rest. After a bit of a nap Amy and I explored the idea of the “Sunday Laws” and other end time things on the internet and in the Bible. It is interesting some of the viewpoints that people have about Sabbath Keepers and the likes… just crazy the things they say are support for Sunday worship etc.
Sunday Amy had to work a 12 hour shift so i slept in til 11:30 (couldn’t get to sleep til close to 2:30) and just did things around the house to distract myself from the nausea.
Monday was the lowest day I have had since this stuff started. My stoicism and bravery were gone. Amy had advised me to stay home that day but I went in anyway. It was a good thing I went in because the teacher who normally covers for me was sick, so it gave me a couple hours to get things ready for a sub because I was totally floored. I finally admitted to myself while on the phone with my dad that I cannot put on a face of bravery all the time and expect to “look” like I am alright etc. All the teachers told me to go home and such and I gladly did. Talking with my dad helped me voice my feelings and get some needed support that only my dad could give, kinda like the support only a mother could give and like she has been giving. I had to realize that I cannot just keep on saying things are OK to everyone, sometimes I need to just let it all go and drop it in the Lords lap because its EXHAUSTING trying to make it look like its not affecting me. It was a lesson well learned.
Tuesday I realized early on that I didn’t have the patience or energy to get through a full day so I let my principal know that I was not going to make it and left at lunch for some rest.
Today is Wednesday and there is no nausea so we’ll see how things go. Hope everyone is going well and I’ll keep more interesting things posted maybe, tired of the cancer talks yet? Give me feed back on what you want ot know, hear, learn etc. Have a great day and… yeah…
Geoffy my little lovey, Momma Mitzi here to send some hugs and love to you. Hitting the bottom and realizing that you cannot ALWAYS do it all is a good thing to learn. You have to listen to your body with SOME mental hygiene. I want so much to be with you Sabbath for the prayer and anointing service. I have a 12 hour day work day and my prayers will be with you. Just you close your eyes and think that y hands will be there with you and I am caring for someone else who’s time is much shorter than yours. Keep your eyes fixed on the mark, don’t look down or back. I love you dearly. Mitzi
