1/17/10

I realize I am running out of energy more and not updating as often. Last week I found out that instead the planed 30 radiation treatments I am scheduled for 33. So now my last day is 2/3/10. My hair started going south mostly in the back and Duane took me yesterday to get a short haircut to eliminate some of the mess. Otherwise ever day is a new day. I received rides from Pat on Wednesday and Chuck on Friday, each followed with a meal out. I continue to be blessed by all the friends and family. Thursday with chemo I got my H1N1 Flue shot which might have contributed to a challenging Saturday the nausea pills could not quite keep up which was a first. Duane hung out with me and Kathy which was great. I did miss church though just was not up to it. Bob called one evening and we had a long conversation about faith and being afraid etc. What a godly man and God used this to challenge me in my attitude. Friday night I got a book from Dave and Connie while having Dinner at their house, love the chicken and noddles, about not being afraid for about tomorrow because God is already there. I started reading in and it goes with the conversation Bob and I had. He loves and is there even when it does not seem like it as things are feeling badly. Friday was as is becoming a pattern the best day. I stopped at the office and the car got an oil change followed by dinner at Bennetts with the Suba's. Saturday stinks but I was able to sleep pretty well and todau appears to be better than yesterday. May be a walk with Rustler? Its been several days. 13 more radiations and 2 more chemo's coming up. Kathy reminded me to live in the moment today but I rather live in the month from now when this is over. It keeps the stomach more stable. Friday I thought I would not need the nauseau pills at all. Sure glad I had them yesterday have not taken any today. YEAH. Jurgen
