The hardest days

It seems like the hardest days are the days right after chemo. My body is tired and all I feel like doing is sleeping. I have to make sure I get the food I need to eat. To keep energy in my body. I had a little nausea. Can complain though. The Dr has given me good meds for it which works. I had a fever last night it broke sometime in the night and I feel better. Instill have the buzzingness throughout my body.
As far as what is next I am going to have a cat scan and a PET scan the week of the 9th to see how things are going. The on the 16th I start up the next round of chemo or other kind of treatment, depending on what the test show.
I can not complain though because there are others going through harder things than me. This is my trial and I just need to learn from it what I'm ment to learn. I miss going to church, feeling the spirit and associating with so many wonderful people. I truly get strength from each of you.

I have had radio active sugar water put in me and then waited an hour to take glowing pictures. I didn't glow anywhere I wasn't expecting to so that is good. Yesterday they took some of my blood and put radio active stuff in it then put it back in me. I only needed a 20 minute rest. Before they took pictures of my blood pumping through my heart. While I waited my grandson Adam called. He made the wait fly by. Today I get to have a port put in so they can give me chemo. For this test I can't drive myself home so Val is coming with me. This is the one that makes it all seem real. One never wants to have stage 4 cancer. It has come on so gradual always giving information out a little at a time. So the adventure begins. Fight this cance...

The Unexpected

Image
On one of my walks on the river trail in Spanish Fork I was taking photographs with my new camera and I saw this blue flower blowing in the wind.  So I took a few shots and one turned out so stunning.  I am amazed  and so glad I was able to capture the beauty of this flower. Sometimes in life the things that we think are average turn out to be extraordinary.  We are like this flower, whether in the mist of trials or regular life we can find the beauty in our lives.
