Morning everyone,
Tis a beautiful day today, very crisp and clear… a perfect day for caching (geocaching that is!). I am sitting here this Friday morning while my students are mentoring to some of the lower graders, had song service and are reading bible stories to them. It is a neat experience we face every Friday, need to figure out some new things to keep the kids attention, I think the bible stories are getting a little boring/old?!
Well this weekend Amy has off so it looks like we will be doing something fun, maybe hiking House Mountain Saturday afternoon with the dogs? I would like to grab a couple geocaches around Knoxville, just found my 100th cache a couple days ago, pretty stoaked about that but need to keep the numbers going before my father catches up with me!
It looks like Tuesday, the 23rd, I have my PET scan which will let us know if I am clear of my cancer for awhile longer, at least til the next check up. This scan requires me to go in, get an IV and an injection. I have to sit in a room all by myself for an hour while the meds adhere to my blood cells and then get a huge injection of radiation that attaches to that stuff that is sticking to my blood cells. Then lay on a table for about 30-45 minutes, grab a nap and relax (as much as I can with an IV in my arm). I will be radioactive for a bit so I will probably not go to school afterwards because I am not sure how long it will take or how good it is for me to be around little kiddies while glowing green.
I am a bit more anxious about this scan then the last one because I haven’t had any treatments in awhile and I really do not want to restart them if something shows up on the scan. I know that the Lord is in control and knows what was, is, and will be, but that doens’t neccesarily make things easier. If it is His will then I will follow that and live my life to the best that I can.
So my question to you is, if you had a check up with the doctor and found out that you have cancer, how would that change your day, week, month, year, lifetime? What would you do differently? How would you feel? How would you interact with your loved ones, or even better, how would you act to those you don’t get along with? What would change. I challenge you to take some time and think about how cancer would make a difference in your life and what you would do with the time that you may have left.
Sorry if that sounds a bit rough for a Friday morning but I always have a lot on my mind. I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy your wonderful Sabbath!
