Well today is Sunday and I am home from church, ate some lunch and thought that I would share this past weeks activities with you. Let’s get all the medical stuff out of the way first. I still have the radiation rash and it itches like crazy but at least it doesn’t hurt, this is a blessing because I have heard that sometimes it can cause a lot of pain. Continuing physical therapy, this coming week will be the last week I attend under the care of a therapist but I can continue to go every month as often as I wish for a “Living Healthy” program. I like this because it’s like going to the gym and using all the equipment with a program set up for me by my therapist with the added bonus of an actual therapist being available if I need one. Now if I could only conveince my insurance to pay for it, this would just be perfect!!! Anyway…..on Monday I had lunch with my mother Lila and we did some shopping, Tuesday was P.T, Wednesday I had lunch with Mama J, we did some shopping also, I always enjoy my time with her no matter what we’re doing, Thursday P.T again and Friday I had lunch with Roseanne. She and I went downtown to Front Street Brewery (no it’s not a bar! what kind of women do you think we are for pete’s sake!) I had never eaten there and it was nice. Then We were going to get a free smoothie each only to get there and find out the place was out of business! I was bummed because I really really like smoothies. Anyway, not to be deterred, after we went into Finkelsteins we did each get us a nice yougurt, it was yummy! I like spending time with Roseanne, I always come away feeling blessed. That’s what this week has actually been, one big blessing broken up into days giving me time to reflect on every person that I spent time with and being thankful for all that God blesses me with.
We have so many people in our church right now that are suffering from serious health issues, when I think about my own it just seems so unimportant to me. Maybe I feel this way because the fact of the matter is this; my cancer and the way I feel and look don’t fit the idea of what we all think of when we think of someone having cancer. I have been truely blessed to not have had things harder and if the time comes that things get worse, I will recall the days that God allowed this lighter burden. I wish more than anything for the people that I know who are suffering to be healed of their pain and sickness but I know that God has a purpose for each of us. Until then we must continue to pray and share our faith with those we come in contact with. I am inspired by my church family and the way that they handle the trials God gives them, not once have I ever heard one person complain or ask “why me”, now that’s what I call having faith and trusting God.
I go back to the oncologist Friday, I will let you know what plan of action he has come up with and he better have something if he knows what’s good for him!!! I do not like sitting by idley, I NEED a plan! Until then, Keep Praying for one another.

“But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
