Pumpkin Patch

Rough morning with some huge back pain and muscle spasms. Pulled something last week and it just isn't settling down. Finally found a comfortable position surrounded by cushions in the armchair, fell asleep as the t y le not kicked in, had a fitful nap. At 3:30 Shawn and I decided we wanted to get some family time in and so we headed to the pumpkin patch and apple farm. I would appreciate your prayer for this back thing. I experienced some painful muscle spasms as a chemo side effect last round and am very concerned that muscle spasms on top of this back pain is going to be unmanageable. It completely takes my breath away which is scary as the cancer in my lungs sometimes does that throughout the day anyway.

What a beautiful day to wander through the fields and orchard! The kids were thrilled to pick their pumpkins and we even picked a small bag of apples, too. Home for sushi dinner (Shawn's favourite!) and now watching the hockey game. There is a strange undercurrent here, we are all aware that chemo starts this week.

Thankful that I was able to get up and move and wander the fields with my family today.
