Today I had a pretty good day. I am feeling more energetic, though I am still very far from normal I have a little more pep in my step. I had my LAST shot today…and my LAST bloodwork…at least for this more aggressive phase of treatment. I took little “going away” presents to all of my nurses and doctors. I know that I will have more that has to be done over the next months but I wanted to mark the end of the weekly needle stickings!
Bill’s dad is doing well. He had surgery yesterday for an intestinal blockage. I know he feels better now that it is gone. You never know how much you take your digestive system for granted until it doesn’t work! He will be in the hospital until Sunday at least. He has developed a cough and that hurts his abdomen…I can relate to that. They are watching him closely and making him breathe in that tube and walk around to make sure his lungs are working properly. Pray that healing will come fast and that there will be no complications from his heart or diabetes.

I am starting to see how your other health issues can really play a conflicting part when disaster strikes in one of your body systems…seems they are start to create troubles that complicate other troubles….Sandy Dunbar has said Mom is a train wreck. You keep an eye on those lungs, they can fill up and cause troubles when they weren’t the trouble!!! Mom is turning a corner, eating and drink like crazy to avoid the feeding tube that has been brought up now twice….hopefully this monday will show the weight gain that we are all looking for and her body needs so badly at this point!
Congrats on the LAST of intensive monitoring and blood work and shots and how wonderful to now slowly turn and heal and move forward from this fragile place!
Tell me about it. Complicated. That is what I am now. That is what happens when trauma hits your body in one area. Bless your mom. I know that all she wants is to be healthy but her body won’t cooperate…I can relate. Tell her that I am praying for her strength of body and of spirit. And that God is with her and near…he never leaves his children when they need him.
I envy you,and i admire your artile very much.
a forceful style, It’s great.
