Friday ... Where has the week gone?

You know how you make plans for yourself and then find out that your plans were not your plans at all.  Well I have just been through a week of my plans of having surgery and bouncing back didn't quite play out the way I had planned.  You know in my feeble mind, I was going in Monday afternoon, have surgery ... a mere total hysterectomy with one part of it laparoscopic ... no problem, right?   WRONG!   The part where I worked part of the day Monday, went home, got ready, went to the hospital, had a three hour surgery, spent the night at the hospital, came home on Tuesday afternoon ... well all that went that way.  The bounce back on my feet ... well that didn't work so well.  The surgery knocked me on my little tush ... big time.  The pain med I was able to take after my 'breast reduction' decided this time to make me itch so all I was taking was 800 mg Motrin every eight hours and that wasn't really stopping the pain.  I called the doctor office on Wednesday and they called me in another pain med, Stadol, that is a nose spray.  One squirt up my nose on Wednesday night and it went straight to the blood system or where ever it was designed to go and I was barely able to get back to the bed.  Decided that was not for me.  Thursday I tried half of a Tylenol 4 and it knocked the edge off the pain.  Also Thursday all I could do was sleep.  That was considered my third full day post op and so it's been said ... that's the worst day.  Hopefully all the sleep that I got yesterday has started healing my body and got it on it's way to back to normal.  I plan to take it easy today but also plan to try to move more.  Need I even mention how stiff my back and hips are from sleeping so much yesterday?  No ... I didn't think so.  I've prayed and cried out to God to help me get back up and feel better and I know He has heard my pleas.  Thank you for your prayers ... I know they are working.

When Bonnie got me home on Tuesday, the gutter guys were still here which I was happy about.  If you recall I was having my old gutters replaced and additional guttering added to the front.  All looked well.  On Wednesday morning, the painters got here early and began prepping the house to paint.  They did a magnificent job and the color I chose is so perfect.  I am very pleased with the outcome and feel much better knowing that I have gotten these two tasks accomplished.  Now it's time to save a little more money for the next project ... whatever that might be.  If you need gutters or a painter, please email me ... these family owned business' are great and will do a great job for you.

Alicia came in my room on Tuesday evening with a special little bear dressed in a smiley face gown and a little pink bow in her ear.  My friend, Fred (Alverna's sweet brother) sent me a precious Vermont Teddy Bear with the sweetest card.  Fred if you read this ... thank you and there will be a formal 'thank you' in the mail soon.  The bear brightened my day.  I thank God for such sweet family and friends who have supported me through so much since September 15, 2011.

The weather is taking it's toll on my gardens... I have not been able to get out and water, hoping to get to do that today.  The tomatoes are still producing the second round of tomatoes and I'm happy about that.  Not happy that I haven't felt like getting out to water everything ... have watered only the stuff on the patio.  I pray they hang in there until I can get out there.  I am not sure I am going to plant fall tomatoes.  It's dreadfully hot already and I know it's going to get hotter.  We will see.

Both my nephews are home for a couple days.  It's so good to see both of them and have special family time.

Thank you for your continued prayers, thoughts and texts.  You mean so much to me.  I will post pictures once I feel better and get out and take some.

Blessings!

Sunday Ramblings ...

After writing my blog early yesterday morning, I realized I was in pretty bad overall body pain.  I could not figure out why I was hurting so bad.  Everything ... muscles and bones ... hurt from my toes to my shoulders.  Pain makes me feel bad and be grumpy if I let myself.  I got out my 'medication info' file folder and got to reading side effects of the Arimidex (estrogen inhibitor).  Well it seems that this little small white pill is probably the cause of all this pain.  I relate the med as taking all the estrogen out of my body (which it is designed to do) and a squeaky wheel.  Estrogen keeps a woman's body 'oiled and greased' and when you take that oil and grease away it wants to squeak ... just like a gear and chain.  I cannot take Advil right now due to the surgery so a couple of Tylenol it had to be.  It helped a bit.  My biggest efforts are continuing to move and not sit down and give in.  I know now why Helena at the Center is telling me to walk at least 30 minutes a day.  I've been awake since 3:30am this morning, got up about 5:15am when I finally realized I wasn't going back to sleep and got ready for the day.  I'm hurting but ... this will not get me down.  God is beside me and I'm leaning on Him a great deal.  Blessed!

The painter came yesterday and replaced the rotted wood on the back of the house.  He will return on Wednesday after the gutter guys get my new gutters up on Tuesday.  Pictures to come.   We got the painter to give my sister (across the street) a bid on painting her bathroom cabinets and his estimate is great.  She scheduled for him to come out Monday after next to get started.

Today will be busy trying to wrap up things that need to be tended and done before I am down for a while.  I won't bore you with all the details that need to be done and there's plenty.  I have to read the instructions about when to cut off my eating and then drinking that stuff to clean my innards out and start liquids only.

Bible verses from my Jesus Calling devotional for today.  God amazes me how He provides His word at just the time I need it.

Isaiah 41:10   So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.  


Psalm 62:5-6  Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him.  Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, and I will not be shaken.  

That's about it for now. Stay cool ... I believe we are in for a hot summer.  Don't forget to get some soaker hoses for your house foundation.    


Blessed and praying blessings for you today.

Mustard in a Baggie ....

For a month now I have been meaning to post about the day Alicia got a zip lock baggie, got the yellow mustard out of the fridge and began squirting it in the baggie.  I was cooking or washing dishes in the kitchen and I said what are you doing?  She said ... It's like finger painting.  I said something like ... Not in the house with mustard, Alicia, it stains.  She proceeded on and of course I was freaking out.  All I could think about is ... mustard + finger painting = this can't be good.  As it turned out, she taped the baggie full of mustard to the back storm door so you could see through it and when you touch it, it shifts the mustard in the baggie and in effect is like finger painting without the mess.  It offers sense of touch, temperature (mustard is cold) as well as different designs.  It was a great idea that lasted for Madelyn at that time about 3 minutes.  One of the things I love about my girls and their profession of being a teacher, childhood development and their creativity.  It amazes me what they come up with ... makes me wish I had known someone with so many ideas when I was raising them.

Yesterday I got a text message with the following pictures.  More creativity ... pudding finger painting.

Above:  Two little angels






Above:  I'm a little young for pudding painting but I can
smile now.  

For the last two weeks I have been going out to lunch with a group of folks at work.  It is a lot of fun and getting out of the office for a short time and laughing really helps the mind.  Yesterday we headed from our end of town (south) to the north end of town to Riscky's BBQ.  On Friday's they have fried catfish and your choice of a side.  There were seven of us so a good fun group.  We all placed our orders and our food came and then the real laughter began.  I was rearranging my catfish basket and in my peripheral vision I saw Tracy, who was sitting across from me, pick up the ketchup.  Hmmm ... she had two brisket tacos and a bowl of mac and cheese.  Tracy proceeded to put ketchup in her mac and cheese and stir it up.  I could not believe what I had just seen.  It was truly a first for me.  You can imagine what the dialogue was like then.  After a few minutes, I shared I liked gravy and cantaloupe which caused even more dialogue and I was deemed the winner of weird ... and then Suhailly, who is in our office for six weeks doing an internship with the Univ. of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, said she liked oatmeal with cheese.  She was the WINNER of weird.  As I said ... there was lots of dialogue and laughter.  Praise the Lord for laughter and light-heartedness.

It's going to be a busy weekend.  Lots to get done before surgery on Monday.  I'm trying to help my sister get her remodeling finished in her guest bathroom, and I have lots to do myself.  The gutter guys come on Tuesday to replace and add new guttering, the painters come on Wednesday to paint my house.  I continue holding on to my faith and knowing that this surgery will be much easier than the last ... hence me setting up those appointments when I did.  I have to remember to pick up pain meds from Sam's, get the 'bowel cleanse' stuff (lapriscopy requires this <smile>) ... keeping in mind when I have to cut off my eating and go to strictly liquids.  I look at the many things to do like you would in order to eat an elephant .... How you ask?  .... One bite at a time.

FOCUS ---   I'm hearing daily people who focus on the negative rather than the positive.  Drowning yourself in negativity is never a good.  The more you focus on the negative, the worse the situation becomes.  I know we all face difficult situations in our daily lives but I also known that with God by your side, you can face-off with these situations and you can beat them.  Remember that He is going to take care of you.  He promises in His word, the Bible.  Matthew 11:28-30 says ... Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and burden is light.  John 14:27 says ... Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.  Not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.  Grab some scripture when you are facing an issue, hold on to God's hand.  My personal testimony continues to repeat ... I could not have faced, walked, gotten to the other side of the breast cancer troubled waters without my awesome God.  He is buried in my heart and there He will always be.

I listen to KLTY Christian radio and there is a song I continue to hear.  It is sung by Francesca Battistelli and the title is Angel By Your Side.  The lyrics ...


I can't say that everything's okay
'Cause I can see the tears you're crying
And I can't promise to take the pain away
But you can know I won't stop trying

I'll be the angel by your side
I will get you through the night
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own

'Cause when you're down and out of time
And you think you've lost the fight
Let me be the angel, the angel by your side

I know it feels like you're running out of faith
'Cause it's so hard to keep believing, oh
But if I can bring the smile back to your face
For a moment you'll forget all about it, oh

I'll be the angel by your side
I will get you through the night
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own

'Cause when you're down and out of time
And you think you've lost the fight
Let me be the angel, the angel by your side

'Cause this won't be the last time
You'll need a little hope
But I wanna be the first to let you know

I'll be the angel by your side
I will get you through the night
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own

'Cause when you're down and out of time
And you think you've lost the fight
Let me be the angel, the angel by your side
Oh, let me be the angel, the angel by your side, oh
The angel by your side


Here's the link to the song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNac9pfiMwQ
My prayer ....  Lord, let me be someone's angel today.    Be someone's angel today. 

Blessed and praying blessings for you today.

Healing - Peeling -- And Moving Forward!


Let's see ... so much I want to chat about ... so much I've probably forgotten.

It's been a wonderful busy week.  The garage door opener guy got here on Monday morning and I am now the proud owner of a new garage door opener AND it works so well AD it's so quiet AND it has a keypad for outside the garage so I no longer have to take my door opener if I am going through the garage.  I do not hear it when it goes up or down when Alicia is coming or going.

Tuesday evening after dinner, I went over to my sisters and primed the walls in her hall bathroom that she is redoing to get them ready to paint.  I can't wait to get this finished because it's going to look so good.  I'm so happy for her that she's finally getting this done.  She started back when I was in the middle of radiation and I wasn't really in the mood to remodel but now that I've healed and peeled I'm good to go.

I finally finally finally called the painter and the gutter guys.  The painter is coming Saturday to replace the bad wood on the back of the house.  The gutter guys are coming on Tuesday to replace the old gutters that run across the front and the back of the house as well as add to the front guttering to run all the way across and I will have an additional downspout.  Then the painters come out on Wednesday to paint the whole house ... well the trim and stuff ... not the brick.  I just called Sherwin-Williams and the paint goes on sale this Sunday at 30% off.  Waaa hoooo!   Moving and shaking around here.

My surgery (hysterectomy) is scheduled for Monday at 2:00pm.  I'll stay in the hospital over night and come home on Tuesday.  I am praying this isn't going to be bad or difficult to get through ... I'm not expecting it to be.  I'm happy I am able to get in so quickly and get this done and behind me.  Tomorrow is pre-op with Dr. Kohlmorgen and the hospital.

I had my 3 week follow-up with the Radiation Oncologist on Tuesday.  All is well, the healing in continuing and unless I have issues down the road, I do not have to go back and see them.  Praise the Lord!  Another leg of the journey complete.

Tuesday was the day that the local farmers bring their produce and set up at the back of our building.  I was able to get down there and bought - peaches, plums, canteloupe, white egg plant and black eyed peas.  I have eaten some of all of it except the egg plant and I am anxious to try it.  I love grilled egg plant but I don't usually drag the grill out during the week so it will be this weekend before I get to try that.

I continue to be blessed by people who make the sweetest comments about my hair ... growing back.  I was told yesterday that I have the 'Demi Moore' hair thing going on.  I am so pleased that it is growing back and my eye lashes are long and pretty and my eyebrows are filling in well.  The Latesse really works on the eye lashes.  Praise the Lord.



Last week I was so blessed to share my Cancer Awareness presentation with our region at a Diversity Teleconference.  It was well received and I have had so many people tell me they learned so much from the info I provided.  I give glory to the Father.  I continue to pray that He opens doors in the speaking arena for me to share about Him first and foremost as well as the info pertaining to the 'do's and don'ts and what to say and what not to say' to a cancer patient.

We have a reprieve from the seven producing tomato plants.  All the first crop have ripened and now the second crop is coming on strong.  We have eaten all that we can and given the rest (which was a LOT) away.  Madelyn loves tomatoes and I am so happy about that.  She picks her one and wants to eat it right then.  I am always insisting that we wash it first but she doesn't care if it's washed or not.  Oh the sweet innocence of a child.

When I read the June 10 devotional out of my Jesus Calling devotional book, I said to myself that I wanted to share God's word.
June 10
REST IN ME, MY CHILD, Give your mind a break from planning and trying to anticipate what will happen.  Pray continually, asking My spirit to take charge of the details of this day.  Remember that you are on a journey with Me.  When you try to peer into the future and plan for every possibility, you ignore your constant companion who sustains you moment by moment.  As you gaze anxiously into the distance, you don't even feel the strong grip of My hand holding yours.  How foolish you are, My child!

Remembrance of Me is a daily discipline.  Never lose sight of My Presence with you.  This will keep you resting in Me all day, every day.

Scripture verses cited:
1 Thessalonians 5:17 ... pray continually ...
Psalm 62:5 ... Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from Him.

This devotional drives home more and more that God does not want us to worry about tomorrow, this evening, 20 minutes from now ... He wants us to live in this moment with Him holding His hand.

Praising God and continuing to pray for those on this cancer surgery and treatment journey.

Blessings.

Quick Monday Morning Post ...

Yesterday proved to be busy all day.  I didn't get everything I wanted to get accomplished done but I will be working on those few things this week since my surgery is a week from today.  I am looking forward to getting this surgery behind me and moving on with all that God has ahead for me.

The garage door installer guy called last night and he will be here between 8:30 and 10:30 this morning. I wish I had ask him if he was installing one before me ... that can generally be a gauge if he will be right at the start time or later in the start time.  OK, so that's my way of gauging.  <smile>  I will go to work this morning and head home about 8:15 just in case.

For three weeks I have been saying I need to call the painters and the gutter guys and by George, today I am going to do that.  I want to get this done.  I am not usually so intimidated about doing or having work done but for some reason this has intimidated me.  The painters have to come first to replace at least one piece of wood in the back.  They will paint the raw wood and then the gutter guys come install the new gutters and then the painters come back and paint.  In my younger years, I would have attempted to paint the house myself ... note ... in my younger years.  These painters gave me a great price so I cannot see trying to do this laborious task myself.

I am very amazed at how quickly the area of radiation has healed.  It looks great.  I have about six seborrheic keratosis moles develop in the heaviest radiation area.  To get rid of these, I soften with warm water and put lotion on them.  They scrape off.  Here's a picture I found on the internet.

Above:  Picture from the internet - If you do not have a
dermatologist that you see every year, I suggest you get one.
When I found my first one years ago, I got in to my dermatologist immediately.  I go every year to have
my skin checked.  
I guess that's about it for me.  I got up early this morning (4:00am) and had a little time.  I hope everyone had a good weekend and that you look forward to the week ahead and all the opportunities it holds.  



Lamentations 3:22-24

New International Version (NIV)
22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, 
    for his compassions never fail. 
23 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness. 
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; 
    therefore I will wait for him.”



Blessings sweet friends.

Sunday ... Where Does The Days Go?

It seems time is flying these days.  I am grabbing every second of life that I am given.  Thank you God for all the wonderful healthy active days that You are giving me.  Is that how you feel about your life?  My prayer is your answer is ... yes.  We all go through the dark valleys and there are times we are right upon the troubled waters but remember God wants us to look up with faith in Him when in those valleys.  When we get to those troubled waters, He wants us to grab His beautiful hand and let Him lead us across the troubled waters.  He and He alone has lead me out of the dark valleys and across the troubled waters.  Praise His name.

A little update about my radiation area.... it's healing and peeling and looking great.  Praise the Lord.  There's just one small brown area that will peel and fade.  The skin is not feeling as tight as it was.  I'm getting better ... day by day.

The garage door opener guy finally comes tomorrow.  I cannot wait to get this fixed.  I know I know ... I admit it, I'm spoiled.  But ... I still Praise His name ... it will be fixed before my upcoming surgery... speaking of which ...

Dr. Kohlmorgen called me late Friday afternoon and told me my surgery will be Monday, June 25.  I'm glad she is getting me in so quickly as I want to get this behind me, get back up on my feet and move on with all the great things yet to come.  I continue feeling better every day, I'm eating good (most days) and praising His name that I have a job to go to (if I was wealthy and did not have to work, I would be volunteering at The Center to help others who are walking the journey I have walked).

Today I've been to the grocery store, got all my fresh veggies washed, cut up and in baggies.  Have fresh green beans in the crock pot, re-roasted a roasted chicken and boned it and have a meat loaf in the oven.  Just getting ready for the week ahead as far as food goes.  I'm better when I am prepared.  I do plan to keep good tabs on my weight as I do not want to gain because of the Arimidex which has a side effect of making it difficult to lose weight.  Losing weight is difficult enough without having an inhibitor in that area.

My girls little brother, Colton, entered a picture in the Star Telegram honor your Dad for Father's Day contest.  He came in second place.  He and his Dad are hunting partners and Colton is so smart of all types of guns.  He wants to live at the deer lease when he grows up.  Her3 is the picture he drew of his and my girls Dad, Paul Morrison.

Above:  He loves to hunt and takes Colton as
much as possible.  
Gotta go check the meatloaf and then head to my sisters to help her with her bathroom project.  Thank you for stopping by.  Let me hear from you.

Praises:
Praises:
*  My newest grand daughter, Brooklyn, is thriving and doing well.  Her check up last week showed she was up to 8 lbs.  Her Mommy is now using a swaddle blanket at night so she is sleeping better.
*  Bonnie is feeling and doing great as the Mother of two under the age of two.
*  Braxton and Madelyn continue to thrive as they are growing and learning all sorts of new things.
*  God continues to walk and carry my survivor sisters through their treatments.
*  God continues healing my body and mind.
*  Life ... it is good.

Prayer Request:
*  Anyone recently diagnosed with breast cancer and feels lost and scared and abandoned.
*  My friend Wendy in Amarillo, who bravely continues her treatments. 
*  My friend, Judy, as she continues to the next phase of her journey.  I haven't had an update since Judy saw her Oncologist, but I rest assured that her sister, Janice, is taking good care of her as well as her hubby and two daughters.
*  My friend, Shirley, as she battles the leukemia that has taken a hold on her body.  Her hubby, Steve, who is caring for her. 


Blessings to all.

Time Is Flying ...

It's already mid-June.  To me it seems as if time is flying by and I'm hanging on for dear life.  Being busy is ... to me ... the sign of a healthy life now.  I couldn't say that two months ago because most all of my busy was still revolving around treatments and doctors appointments.  How I Praise my Lord for today ... this day ... the day that I am able to get up and get out and around.

Let's see ... there were two funny stories that I wanted to share and now I can only think of one of them.  Doesn't that just figure?  Can I still claim chemo brain or do I have to find another excuse for not remembering?  OK, I'll find another excuse ... I just forgot.  I'm sure tonight in my sleep it will come to me.

Speaking of sleep, I have been sleeping really well.  I wake up at least once a night and that's because my hips are hurting so bad and I need to turn over.  Once I get comfy again, I'm back out like a light.

Monday night garage door opener broke.  Alicia called our friends, Bruce and Greta, for him to come take a look at it as it seems he has fixed their's before.  He did everything he could but when the shaft that holds the gear that turns the chain that raises the door is broke off, there was nothing he could do to fix it.  So Tuesday morning found me bright and early at Home Depot buying another one.  The young man who helped me I have to question now because he did the paperwork wrong and the installers never called me.  I called Home Depot today to find out all this and finally got a call from the installers and now it will be Monday before they can get out to put it up.  Uggghhhh!!!!!  I'm spoiled ... I admit it.  I miss my garage door opener and I cannot wait until it is replaced.  Quick story:  Alicia and I ran a couple of errands on Tuesday night which is the night she decided she would leave her car parked in the driveway locked up and not move it inside ... since we are having to manually ... wait, I am having to manually raise and lower the garage door.  Well I like my car parked in the garage at night for what ever reason, I just do so I life the garage door manually and park it at night and lift it again manually in the morning at 5:15am to get my car out.  Anyway ... when Alicia said she was going to leave her car in the driveway over night, I ask her to get her garage door opener out and bring it in the house.  She said .... what for, the garage is broken anyway.  DUUUHHHHH.... we laughed.  Another quick story ... last night she went to the gym and when she got home, I heard the motor running on the garage door opener because she had pushed the button.  I had to laugh ... old habits are hard to break.

We have now signed a contract with Del Monte to buy some of these tomatoes we are growing in our 4' X 6' raised garden bed.  Who knew that seven tomato plants could produce so many tomatoes.  Not me.  I planted them with the hopes we would get a few and a few we are getting ... quite a few as a matter of fact.  I've taken tomatoes to work twice to give away, we have given the girls Dad so many tomatoes that he told Alicia he was eating tomatoes at every meal.  My sister has taken as many as she can eat and I usually eat two at lunch and dinner.  God has blessed our garden this year.
Above:  I think this guy is laying tomatoes on the window seals
when we are asleep.
Above:  This window seal is full.

Above:  More on the other window seal and on the ledge.
I was telling my brother about all the tomatoes and being able to give them away and he said ... Isn't that a good feeling?  ABSOLUTELY.  If you come visit, you can take home some home grown tomatoes.  <smile>

Today I had my appointment with what will now be my new gynecologist.  Dr. Kohlmorgan is wonderful.  I love love love her just after this one appointment.  Thank you Lord for putting Dr. Kohlmorgan in my life.  Her surgery scheduler person will call me tomorrow to get the hysterectomy set up.  I ask what I could expect as far as how I would feel after having this done.  She said primarily ... fatigue.  I thought to myself ... nothing new, piece of cake, I can do this.  I ask her about how long I had to stay off work and she said usually four to six weeks ... I said well if I feel like it can I go back sooner?  She said yes, as long as I wasn't take the pain medication any more.  I definitely want my body to heal properly and I don't want to push things so my prayer request is that this doesn't take me down too far or too long.  I could probably let myself get down in the dumps knowing that I will go through another time of feeling bad but ... I am not going to let that happen.  NOPE!  Not going to get down in the dumps.  I will be just fine.

I had the opportunity to share about my cancer journey during a Diversity Teleconference at work.  I wanted to share the what to do and what not to do... what to say and what not to say information.  I didn't want to make the presentation about me but since I am the one who has walked the journey, it was hard to keep me out of it.  I pray that folks took good helpful information with them at the end.  I pray God opens more doors for me to do this type of thing.

Tomorrow is Friday and I have to tell you that I am glad.  This has been a busy week and I'm ready for some rest and a trip to Bluebonnet Cafe on Saturday morning for breakfast and the opportunity to see my friends and/or make new friends.

Well I haven't thought of the other funny thing I was going to share ... may come to me later or it may have left the city by now... <laughing>

I continue to praise my Lord for all He has done for me and all that I know He has ahead for me.


John 15:13

13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Blessings...
