I'm looking forward to next week. I've only got one more day, after today, with doctors and nurses, then I'm doctor free for two whole weeks!!! I think the treatments are working, because I'm getting more energy. Today it's the obgyn for my post op. check up. Then tomorrow my last iron treatment. Which is getting tiresome. But, it's what is best for me, so I face it with a smile. What else can I do? But getting stuck multiple times gets annoying anyway. Yesterday, the port we left in was bad, so they poked me again, and it worked just fine, for about 5 minuets. So they had to poke me again. Then they decided to slow down the rate, and that seemed to work just fine. :)
What a beautiful day out there today. the sun is shining so brightly. I hope it will be another warmer day. But even if it starts to cool down again, as long as the sun is out, it seems warmer.
Just a quick cute story about my youngest daughter. The other day, she was practicing her ballet, and dad told her she was doing a good job, and that "practice makes perfect." She quickly replied (without missing a beat) "no dad, practice make almost perfect, 'cause no one except Jesus is perfect." Truth out of the mouths of babes. She is leaning so much, and understands it all. My older two kids didn't grasp God quite so well, but that was because I didn't. And the church we went to wasn't as welcoming or really about teaching the kids all about Him. Just come in, sit down, stand up, kneel.... bye, bye. None of us really liked going. Funny thing is, dad didn't mind it there, because he didn't have to face the fact that if he didn't accept Jesus, he was in trouble. We all LOVE church. In fact it's hard to get the kids to go home often. They have so much fun with their friends afterwards. And they really love learning about our Savior. At the older church (it's been 10 years since we went) they didn't know anyone, not really. I only knew an adult or two, and we rarely said anything other than good morning.
But my eyes are open now. Now I see the joy there is to have when learning about Christ. How much there is to learn, and how wonderful it is to be around others who believe in Him, and really worship Him.

long time gone
Been away for awhile. Sometimes life runs away from you, and before you know it, too much time has passed. In my case, I have been just sooo... tired that it's been hard to even get on and post.
I did have my surgery two weeks ago. All went well, and everything was benign. She did find a polyp and removed it. Hopefully all goes well from here. I'll know in a few weeks I guess.
My anemia issues aren't quite as good news. My iron levels did not go up more than a point or two, and that is after taking 325 mg of it THREE times a day. So, now I'm receiving iron intravenously. I've got five treatments. Two last week, and three this week. It's not so bad, and I do believe it's working. I'm starting to have more energy and not having so much trouble breathing. If it doesn't work, then we'll look for more unusual reasons for the trouble. But I'm not worried about that right now. The Lord says not to worry about tomorrow, God will take care of it, so I'm not going to. When the time comes, then I probably will, but for now, I am quite content with just thinking about my current treatments.
I have to go to the chemo department for treatments. Boy, does that make me grateful for the health I do have. For the most part, the other patients are rather cheerful. You can tell some are pretty sick, but they have good attitudes about it. The nurses there are so nice, and sweet. But when I look around, I pray for each of them and thank God that I am not in that boat.
Guess that's all for now. Monday's are pretty busy with our co-op classes. And I still get really tired really quickly. So I have to pace myself on everything, just so I can last the whole afternoon. But, boy, am I glad my mom makes dinner on Mondays. Since she is out of work (like so many), I asked her to make dinner that day of the week, and we are both happy with it. She gets to make things, I have dinner ready when we get home, and with how tired I've been it's a HUGE blessing! She likes to cook, but isn't too crazy with cooking ALL the times, it's never been her strong suit.
