Session 8: On the Downward Half

This session started out a little rough.  My stomach seems to remember the last time I was here.  Monday I didn't feel to good, but made it through the day without incident.  Tuesday was a little better, just some heartburn with less nausea.  Wednesday has been the best so far except that I could not wake up.  I was very tired for most of the morning and had to take a few naps.  I am doing better now, but don't seem to have what it takes to focus on technical things.

I have had some wonderful visitors.  I always appreciate people stopping  by to see how things are going.   I really appreciate everyone who helps Angela with the kids when I am up here at Huntsman.

I am getting some General Conference talks read.  There is a lot of time to think and ponder.

I do not know if I will really be done at 14 sessions of chemotherapy, but I will do whatever the Lord needs me to do to be with my family as long as He will let me.  He is in charge and I will be grateful for each new day.

A Week Off For Good Behavior

This Labor Day weekend will be especially sweet for me.  I was supposed to start another session of chemotherapy which means time away from the family; however, the doctors are not in on Labor Day.  HOORAY for THEM!!!  Because this will be a 5-day chemo session, we just pushed the session back a week.  HOORAY for ME!!!

I did not think it was going to be a big deal to go the Hospital for days at a time every 3 weeks, but it is.  As good as the food is and as great as the people are, it would not break my heart to be done with these treatments.

I am so very grateful that I get to stay with my family!!!!
