Today has been a very busy day. Over the course of the day 6
people came to see us. All of the visits were delightful, however with my new
pain level and increasing the amount of medication I am taking has made tired
than before. I am sure I will adjust to
all of this. Katie taught me new things for caring for myself I now know how to
change the cassette in my machine. This is a great thing, because I was almost
empty when she got here. If she had been delayed or couldn’t have come for some
reason, I would be suffering because of not knowing this very simple thing.
This evening I noticed a small swollen lymph node on the
right side of my neck, this is a first for that side of my neck. I suppose it
goes with the other new pains on the right side of my body.
I know that
emotionally I will feel much better after I have spoken with the doctor’s on
Friday. Once a plan has been created and a start date for implementing it is
given I will relax a great deal. My biggest fear is for them to say that they
can’t do any more treatments! But it has been implied to me that I would have
many more treatments ahead of me back in July.
Two large boxes where brought down from the floor of my
bedroom closet. I thought it would take me four days to get through them,
taking a day for half a box. But the
first box I opened was not full and it went so quickly and easily that I got
the entire box done today. I was very
tempted to start the second box but the pain reminded me that I had to pace
myself so I did not do it. I was good and left it for tomorrow.
Saturday at the Women’s Conference at Church before it
started we all had a lovely chance to sit and visit with each other and I need
to say thank you to all the sisters. You ladies were very kind to me and it is
greatly appreciated. I am very grateful for everyone’s kindness and
thoughtfulness for my Mom. It is so nice to know that so many consider just
what she is going through has well. Also several of you expressed encouragement
for my DE cluttering project, along with life itself. Plus one sister said that
she finds these posts that I write well written and uplifting, that totally
surprised me and a great big thank you for those kind words.
It has been wonderful to find out just how many friends I
really have and just how deeply you all care. Your kind and quiet concern for
my well-being is felt and very appreciated. In my mind the Lord has surrounded
me with his angels and you my friends and family are the ones He has sent to
comfort and strengthen me through this trail in life. Each and every one of you
in your own ways are doing just that for which the words thank you just falls
short of how I feel. It is my prayer that somehow you will come to understand
just how grateful both Mom and I feel for each of you.
