Friday Fatigued Face






Today, I am so grateful for the prayers and positive messages you have sent since my last chemo treatment. On Monday, I traveled to CTCA-Chicago to received infusion #3 of 6. I felt pretty good until returning home on Tuesday evening. By Wednesday afternoon, I was sore, had a fierce case of metal mouth, cranky tummy, and fatigue that would not quit. The Hubster tucked me in bed and I didn't leave for over 24 hours. (Those of you who know me well, realize the absurdity of this fact.) I'm still weak like a kitten today, but the largest part of the exhaustion is over.

God bless you all for your intercession and faithfulness to pray and think of me. I know that is what is keeping me on the road to recovery. Special thanks this week to Mom, Sarah, Rachel, the Hilton Anatole, CTCA-Chicago, Best Western @ Market Square, American Airlines, Debra @ O'Hare Airport, O.F. Ballew, Pastor Charles and Bernice Whaley, Deanne Splechter, B.D. Tharp, Donna Wiley, Nick Wiley, Kyle and Toni Carlson, and my forever beloved Hubster.

Almighty One, today I am grateful for your very real Presence in my life. I am surrounded by love from You and all those who pray for me. It humbles me to think that my life has made a difference for others. Forgive me when I fail You, and give me courage to face each fresh day. In Jesus' name, Amen.

If you ever needed a reason to stay in bed, you definitely have a good one now! You look beautiful and happy. And you're halfway finished with chemo! Yay!

I'm not much of a stay-in-bed kinda gal, Ginny Marie, but it sure felt good to be there for a couple of days when I needed it. I'm on the mend this evening, thanks to a lot of prayers, TLC from The Hubster and food from several dear friends.

Thanks, Janelle, but I'm just allowing Him to work through me. I put myself in His Hands.

Female in Motion Health Update

I am at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion, IL, tonight. I flew in last night, spent all day in the waiting room and appointments. I have a headache, my feet hurt, my burns hurt and I'm exhausted. Man, I hate it when I'm whiny. The good news is, I'm doing well. As Dr. Citrin put it, I'm one tough woman. He was shocked that I was able to travel so soon after finishing radiation. He took one look at the burns under my arm and prescribed some aloe vera gel with lidocaine and some pain meds to help me sleep.  I will start Arimidex this week, too. In the bad news department, I am not in any state of mind to write tonight. I have to be up early in the morning to catch a flight home, so I will say good night and God bless each and every one of you: for your prayers, for your support, for being you. As I promised, I will post the piece I've been working on very soon. Thanks for understanding. *** Notable Quote:  " John 14:27 (KJV) Peace I leave w...

I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Too much of a good thing is not good at all!  When I was a kid of six or eight, I had an obsession. It was a food obsession, particularly with Chicken in a Biskit crackers. It was a doomed relationship from the start, because even at that tender age, I realized the glaring spelling error. I found a box of those crackers in the cabinet one day, quietly put them under my shirt, and slipped downstairs to the family room, where I proceeded to watch Major Astro and eat the entire box . It wasn't much later when my tummy started to protest. Too much of a good thing was definitely not a good thing. After spending several hours in the bathroom that evening, I learned a valuable lesson: Even the best food doesn't taste good in reverse. Since that day, even the sight of one of those crackers makes me  slightly nauseated. I can't go near them. Seems like a lot of us are looking for something to fill in the nooks and crannies of our lives. The temporary satisfaction that an...
