Began chemo Tuesday – On
pump until yesterday
Felt fine til Wed evening (really
fine!) and then it hit
Nausea, cramping, exhaustion, flue like
muscle aches,
Spoke at chapel yesterday at
OLu –
That was an experience like I have never
ever had before!
The outpouring of love from the kids was
amazing! More on that later
Hard time sleeping –
Nothing sounds good to eat –
drink
Nothing even smells good –
makes me just want to leave the kitchen!
Struggling with digesting
Had 3 huge clumps of hair in
the sink when I combed it!
That’s not even supposed to happen with this
chemo!
Just in general feeling
yucky –
Very tired – will write more
later, just wanted to let y’all know I am surviving!
Thankful for: our OLu family
Friends checking on me and Todd
Beautiful roses blooming
God’s word that sustains me
Linen hankies that do not
peel my skin when I cry
Anti nausea meds if I need
them…
That the tape from the port
placement did not tear my skin like it had before
This is the day the Lord has
made – I will rejoice and be glad in it –
And some days it is harder to do than
others than others! But it is still His
day!
Thanks for checkin in –
It's still His day. Thank you for being such a transparent and enduring witness of our Lord. You are a faithful child and daughter of His.
ReplyDeleteI cannot begin to understand what all you are going through. But I do see such an honest, genuine, faithful soul, wanting to live, wanting to give to others, not self absorbed though you'd have every right to be.
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration. You have such genuine humility. Love the gratitude lists. I do that myself.
You're always in my prayers, Chris.Stay strong. God is with you, and holds you and loves you.
Sending love. Katie
