Did it!
Was very weak this morning, so hard to brush my hair, a two minute shower required thirty minutes to recover. Walked past two chemo nurses at the lounge when mom and I headed to bloodwork, I said I was ducky, they said "you don't look ducky"... I said, "I will in an hour and a half!" Did blood, sat in the lounge, couldn't find a sandwich or ice tea anywhere on hospital grounds crazy.
Got to chemo, nurse was ecstatic and surprised, my numbers jumped over 20 points without a blood transfusions!!! Miracles, people! Miracles! That higher number is awesome news!!!! God is bigger! Then she hooked me up, no problem getting the port to draw blood! God was doing His awesome thing. Thank you, Lord! Was super tired, the chemo hit me about half an hour in and I had a hard thirty minute nap, sore back troubles at the port. Got home, crashed on the couch, glad mom stayed cuz I didn't even hear the kids get home. M made me a milkshake, I did my shot, I'm ready for bed. Laying low and letting this body recover.
Grateful for silver linings, one of which is how family and friends are gathering around us in prayer and with offers of support. Cancer is a lot of hard things. It is already proving to be a lot of connecting with loved ones and strengthening of relationships and that is so, so good.
