Bruised port, pale skin, flat and thin hair, swollen, but kicking cancer to the curb. Tired. Weak. Drained. Hot flush. Cold skin. Dizzy. Aching back of my neck. Headache from lazing around. Sat on the back deck a few times, moved around some today. Had a power sleep. Moment by moment through the day. Ate dinner, now hot from the digesting. Water gives me heartburn pain, indigestion is a constant battle. Added lime to my water, seems to help. Need to drink more. Making it through. Kids are such helpers and really impress me with their flexibility as mommy is weak or tired or needing help or calm house. So thankful for these children of ours. Shawn is out late tonight, so glad for him to have some time out. He has been amazing and so incredibly, solidly Shawn. I couldn't ask for better in a husband. We are tired but we keep relying on God, trusting, moving forward at the pace we can.
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.
