| Day 31/32/33 Day 31 Today is Wednesday. I am 5 days out of radiation with symptoms of a little dizziness (could be Ambien (sleep aid) and a weak kneed feeling that comes and goes. The best thing for this I have noticed is to just take a break for a little while. My hair is doing some really wild things. J and I have decided we should probably just shave it off. This way those hairs that are standing straight up can give the top of my head a chance to start over. I have patches of hair that are dark....then the white patch on top.....I also have a brown area that covers the back of my head that is really weird looking. I am going to be multicolored! Love it! Every day and night I am in the Bible. I would tell you I am finding ultimate strength in knowing we have a loving God that is with me every second and showing me what is in the word for us all about healing. Nothing is impossible to God. Isaiah 53 -5. By His stripes We ARE healed. Day 32 I am receiving e-mails from many folks out there who are in this battle with me. I want you to know that I lift you up to God every night as I know you do me. This is the time where we must stay focused. We need to be able to hear and stay in tune with God. J and I read on the internet tonight about the drug Ambien. I hear from most of you that this is the common drug prescribed by doctors. This is the one I have been given. If you read about this drug, it is habit forming, can cause memory loss, dizziness, and a host of other complications. Please be advised if you make the decision to cut back, talk to your doc. You need to wean yourself. not just cold turkey. Day 33 Update on home renovations: Let me regroup for you...... We now have a new wall. The hill has been leveled and grass is coming up everywhere. J bought a watering device.....not sure what the official name is.....and promptly became soaked. This reminds me of the time he thought to check oil pressure in his car. He took the oil cap off....revved the motor.....and the explosion of oil into the air and on him was absolute. I watched through the window and will never forget when he walked in and said ...”I think my oil pressure is good.” The deck is fabulous. It went up in just one day. J and I have deck furniture on the way. This afternoon our flooring arrived and will be installed on Monday. Things are moving along in home renovation. Constant Love coming your way...... <back |
