Yesterday was chemo in Indianapolis, and Mom drove me down. I’ve been so tired lately, that I slept all the way there and during my whole treatment. We talked to the doctor about my lack of energy, and she’s prescribed something to help me with this. I’m not sure about adding more medicine, but I’m really concerned that my lack of quality-of-life is more important than my fear of more drugs.
I’m still wearing the orthopedic boot on my foot from the nerve damage. They’ve casted my foot and lower leg for a brace that will replace the boot, and I’m going to Physical therapy 3 times a week for three more weeks. My foot feels better, but I still don’t have the movement I need to walk without tripping. The brace may be something I have to deal with for several months.
Pray for my middle daughter, Shelby, because she had braces put on her teeth yesterday, and she’s not feeling very well. I think the pain is from the installation, and we’re trying to help her cope with having so much metal in her mouth!
I found something in my devotions that seemed appropriate to share here, because it hit me where I needed it that morning. It said, “Instead of seeing mistakes as terrible disasters, we begin to view them as normal and natural results of the courage to make decisions and take risks. For the Christian, that is simply a good definition of determining to live by faith, each day.” I pray that I live by faith every day through this long journey.
Take care and thanks for sharing your love with us,
Sandy
