Expansion #7

I wish I could say this was the last but alas it was not meant to be. On a happy note when I go back on the 3rd I will only have 50cc's to go since I took 90 today. So the end to this part of the process is almost over. I will not lie to you... I hurt this afternoon. Between my fibromyalgia, arthritis and this expansion I am in serious pain. I started the day off good and even went to Paint the Town PINK. It was wonderful and the guest speaker was so inspiring! I enjoyed hearing her story.
Until my next entry ... thanks for the prayers and love to you all.

Mammogram Day

Yes it was that time again and those closest to me know I am scared when I go. Up until today I have always had someone go with me "just in case".  This time I decided I was a big girl and I could handle it. However, on the way there my mind wandered to the place it always goes.... what if it shows something, can you handle it, etc. That is when I heard a soft voice ask "Why are you looking for problems? Wait until it actually happens and then we deal with it." It was then I realized I was not alone and God had not only calmed my nerves but had gently scolded me about worrying when I didn't need to. I guess there will always be that small fear in the back of my mind but I know I am not alone and that is where I need to focus so the fear stays at bay. I am not perfect, I am still a work in progress but I am thankful for gentle reminders when I need them. The mammogram by the way.... all clear for 6 more months. Praise the Lord!

Expansion #6

100 cc's today! Only 1 possibly 2 more expansions to go. I hope just 1 more. We will decide on the 20th. So far I am sore from it being more but that is all part of it. After my last expansion, Wayne, Andrew and I all had a bad stomach virus. Compared to that I would rather hurt a little.
I did not realize until the doctor told me, how easy it is to pop an expansion. He told me a patient had popped hers lacing her boots. So yea, guess I will be extra careful.
Thanks for the prayers... love until the next time.
