Still here

Was at my appt for 3 hrs. They said I was doing great and that yes, all my symptoms that I have been experiencing since chemo have been chemo related. Validation felt good and we have a non-evasive, yet cautious game plan. I found out some interesting things, like I had more chemo than thought and that I was classified as stage 4, not 3. They said my diet was great and I was doing all the right things, but the only thing they could say that I could do for myself was exercise more…..maybe tomorrow.

I was in the room after the psychologist (who you have to see everytime) and before the Dr when I checked my BB. I had gotten an email from an old friend (thank you Christy!) and it meant so much EXACTLY when I needed it! SEE!!! We talk about the things we do and how we don't know how much they mean. I was blessed to receive (yet again) yesterday.

Oh and the whole FAITH and the binder….well God took care of that as well. I told them that they had questions missing….the most important thing about my survival….FAITH. She took it from there, very well also. But before any of them came in the room…the nurse came in and handed me…yep…a binder. Not just any old generic binder, but one that had my care plan in it, special things pertaining to me. I added my things in there from my binder, and put my song in the front over theirs. The Dr said, "Look at you….You made it your own!" Yes I did. I made my health my own. Through the grace of God, determination, and your prayers.

God Bless!

mouse

A girl I work with's daughter was in the Mexican resturant eating when she felt something lick and nibble her foot. She looked under the table and saw...yep you guessed it....a mouse. She screams, kicks the mouse and looks and the mouse can't run...she's broke it's leg. So the waiters got the mouse, and she got her meal for free, but she couldn't eat it! haha! Moral of the story. Wear shoes in that resturaunt, cause the food may be raw. haha! Couldn't resist! Have a great weekend! God Bless!

yesterday and today

First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY late to the Cuz! I can't believe that I didn't say it yesterday! She is being teased that she is a lot older than what she is so just for her Happy 49th Birthday Charla!!! haha! On another note it was Vic's Birthday yesterday as well and I know I blogged that her Dad was doing better, but yesterday morning in his sleep he lost his battle. I know it is true that they are better off, but it is still hard on the family. Please pray for her and Vanna, and the entire family. Aunt Shirley made it to WV to see her Dad who is holding strong. Please continue to pray for those who are sick and their families. God Bless!

strength

Some days we don't feel as though we have the strength to do much of anything.  To get up, to eat, to not eat, to fight the daily battle of traffic, work, or relationships....why?  Mainly because we lose our confidence.  Our confidence in the ability to "handle" things.  Remember the verse: "I  can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phillipians 4:13.    We have talked before about how we are not alone, but we have not discussed how the devil attacks our confidence in the ability to achieve.  The ability that when we are doing what the Lord wants we can accomplish it through Him...not alone.  Repeatedly through the Bible God says that he will not forsaken us for he is with us.  If you have a doubt about something, first is it something that God wishes, second if it is then know that the devil is in play...including the attempted breakdown of your inner strength.  After you realize that keep telling yourse...
