Today did not start out well. A little after 7 AM I get a call from my daughter saying she was in pain and headed to the ER. After several hours it was determined that she had a severe urinary tract infection, fluid on one ovary from a burst cyst and another cyst on the other ovary. Add to all this I live over 3 hours away from her. Not a good feeling for a Mom but she has an awesome nurse... I am thankful for a wonderful son-in-law. As all of this is winding down and I am getting ready to go to my appointment my son walks in the door and says his back and knees are hurting. He just had major back surgery last year so this concerns me too. Hopefully it is just the cool weather causing his pain. So yeah, rough morning.
The surgeon says things are looking good with the expansion. I may only need 3 or 4 more so things are looking good for Jan. I only had 80cc's today. They will probably become smaller because it becomes harder to stretch. The numbness is wearing off and the pain is starting. At least Wayne is sleeping if the snoring in the bedroom is any indication :)
God never promises each day will be easy, but I sure am thankful that He promises never to leave us. I sure have needed Him by my side today.
Until next time....love and prayers to you all.
You really hit the nail on the head when you described how some survivors no longer feel " whole" after their fight with breast cancer. I, too, am a survivor of six years and I thank God every day for getting me this far yet I still have to live with the fear and the feelings of inadequacy. All in all, though, I'm just grateful for the time I have with my wonderful family and my grandbabies. It's good to see you sharing your story. You're a true inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are 6 years! God is so good and I give Him the glory for me still being here. God tells us to "fear not, for I am with you". Keep that in mind and remember He has a plan and as far as He is concerned you are not inadequate and He loves you.
