Happy Birthday to Me! Thank you EVERYONE for your fb posts, txts, emails and b-day wishes! I've had more recognition of this birthday day than I have in years, and it's not even a 'big one'.
I slept so-so last night; but still have lots of achy bone pain. My day started with a Speech Therapy - Cognitive consult. She said my brain function is still fine, ya know ~ above average ~ hee hee ~ but I may experience various 'potential' side effects over the course of treatment. But she was very concerned about my lack of REM sleep and wanted that dealt with ASAP because it will cause me to lose my short term memory. So she requested I ask for pain meds to get me through till the leg radiation begins. They say within days if not hours of the bone radiation, I'll start to feel pain relief.
After my brain radiation treatment they created a mold for my right leg, for sure the cancer is in my right femur, beyond that, God only knows. Well, they probably know, I just have not asked the right people yet. Waiting for another consult to review all my x-rays etc. They will begin the bone radiation tomorrow. So unless, my orders for a Pain Management Consult come through early, or there is a massage cancellation, or acupuncture cancellation, I'm not even due at the facility tomorrow until 4pm.
Gonna head over to the facility to hear some Christmas carols.
Until Later.....
And maybe someone will even have birthday cake!!!
ReplyDeleteNever did call you back. Not about to now cuz Murphy's law you will just gone to sleep.
ReplyDeleteLove you.
Praise God! Everyone continues to work feverishly to get you some relief and get the cancer arrested.
ReplyDeletePhil 4: 7 and 8 has meant so much to me since my cancer journey. Of course, verse 7 talks about God's peace being yours, but verse 8 took on a new meaning. In the amplified (very wordy, which fits me perfectly lol) it reads:
For the rest, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things - fix your minds on them"
I realized that at that time in my life there wasn't much, if anything that fit that description EXCEPT GOD! "Fix your mind on God" is a simple way of putting the entire verse - I love that. Even when life is going quite well, fixing our minds of God and His attributes is the only truly worthy thing to be thinking about.
Joy and Peace,
Carin
