It's Tuesday and I'm not going anywhere!
Hi all!
What a time this has been since Friday! I ended up in the ER Saturday a.m. and was diagnosed with Vertigo - a viral infection that means I'm really, really dizzy!! So, more pills to take. I'm sitting here with one eye shut, or there are two screens! I'm off work for the week, since I can't drive. I'm taking the same dizzy pills that my dad took. Dr. said to just lay low for the week and let it run it's course! Easier said than done when there is 2 of everything and it's all spinning!
We had a good time with Krista's family and Stacy over the week-end. They did most of the work and I sat in my chair and cuddled the kids when they were in the house. They spent a lot of time at the playground across the street. So much fun to have them around.
Heart scan yesterday - just had to lay on a table, and no, I didn't fall off! Surgery to have the port put in is this Friday a.m. with the first Chemo treatment on the 15th. I don't know what my job status will be - they don't like the fact that I'm missing so much work. Neither do I, but it's not my choice. Being a Hospice Organization, I'd hope that they would be more compassionate, so time will tell.
Keep the prayers coming this way - God is truly challenging Sam and I. Almost daily, we ask "why us" - with Sam gone every day - so far from home and me home alone, we just don't understand why we are being so challenged like this. Many tears have been shed, but we keep going because what else can we do - we will fight this and WIN!
Love,
Me

well, dang it anyway...you are having a tough time. I don't know why either. All I do know is, even though we are not promised our lives will always be sunny, we are promised that He will walk beside us all the way.
One step at a time.
You might think of renting or keeping on hand movies or whatever, that make you laugh. Laughter is very healing, literally....I read of a man with cancer who was not given much hope, but he watched every silly movie that made him laugh and laugh, and so help me, he got better ! When my life was coming apart, and I felt completely broken by divorce, I didn't laugh for many months.....but a video of Mr. Bean made me laugh out loud, and it was such an odd feeling, to laugh again.
So, cry when you must, call a friend [me, anytime if you want to], and laugh when you can.
I felt very alone when I had breast cancer also....my sisters and daughters were supportive, but at night I was alone, no one to lean on, and sometimes I did cry. Hold on to the good things, happy memories...and go forward.
I'm thinking good thoughts for you.
