Tattoo-es and Bruises


Today was a day long coming for me.  I thought by now I would be well along in my radiation therapy but I was wrong.

I had 3 consultations with the radiologist in NWA and finally got my stuff referred to the local unit here in Fort Smith.  I simply can't do a daily up and down he mountain this time of year particularly.

I really like this local radiologist as he painted a prettier picture for me than the guy up north.  Although the protocol will be about 2 weeks longer than I was told initially.

I almost forgot my appointment today (I thought it was tomorrow).  But I managed to arrive in time....had my exams (not fun), had 2 CT scans (also not fun), and got 3 tiny little tattoos (that hurt like the dickens).  Those little tattoos the size of a small freckle are now surrounded by gigantic bruises.  I wish Roger was here, no one appreciated a good bruise quite like my husband did.

I have a Keytruda infusion Thursday.  Hopefully sometime this week I will have time to do this mountain of laundry I have been growing.  I never realized just how tiring laundry can be.

My feet and my hands are still numb which is causing me some issues at work since I simply cannot type as fast as I used to.  But all I can do is all I can do...if it isn't enough, I guess they can send me home.

I am super done in tonight....I think I'll feed my dogs and hit the hay.

I wish you all the best of all good things.  I pray for those of you that I know are struggling with things and I hope you include me in your prayers as well.  I certainly know I would be nowhere right now without the ernest prayers of the faithful.

God is so good to me, He provides for my needs daily, He carries me when my feet fail and so far He hasn't let me fall on my face.  I am very grateful.  And so grateful for the friends I have that allow themselves to be used on the daily.  I am certainly very blessed in spite of all the challanges I have.

Pray with intention for every issue you know.  Speaking it counts.

I love you all.
