I went to work this morning and felt great, actually very energized! I love my job and actually got some stuff done today, seemed to be able to focus a little better than I have been.
Had a 1 o'clock appointment for the day after chemo flushing process. This is to clean some of the toxins out of your kidneys, rehydrate you and I also had a shot to build up my white cells (ouch, it stung) but it's worth it! It was also a bit of a challenge when they pulled the VERY large needle out of my port, it had been in for over 24 hours so it was pretty well attached.
I'm feeling very well cared for and supported by all, I'm sure my success in this whole process will be due to all of you more than anything I do. I am trying to eat very health things... not counting the chocolate they give me at the chemo lounge! So far no side effects, although I was informed that I may wake up tomorrow feeling like I'm coming down with the flu... from the shot, it has a tendency to make your bones achy. I have my learn and play storytime tomorrow and I fully intend to be there, then I have off until next Tuesday. Bill is taking me to Sedona for a 3 day respite and some sight seeing. I can't wait!
This morning in my Hugs devotional it talked about finding time to praise God and thanking Him for all He has done. Every time you notice a gift from the Giver of good things, praise Him. His works are marvelous! His gifts are bountiful, and His love endures forever... I am living proof of all these things!
I will close with this beautiful quote from Mrs. Charles E. Cowman, who along with her husband were missionaries in Japan and China from 1901 to 1917.
"Two wings are necessary to lift our souls toward God: prayer and praise.
Prayer asks. Praise accepts the answer."
May I always do this no matter what the circumstances.
Blessings,
Sue
