The nurses really tried to make us feel special. Don't they look cute?
Solace Cancer Care Really does Care!
Here I am eating my Super Taco Ole` from the Taco Shop that Ron brought me.
Check out the Prayer Quilt the ladies from church made. It is so awesome! On Sundays they put the new ones in the foyer with the person's name and prayer request. Then people of the church say a prayer when they tie a knot. There could be 100's of prayers on each quilt. I love it!!!
My heart sank.........when the nurse told me my blood cells were too low to do my treatment! I had been there for at least an hour and a half. And felt confident that since I had only had one treatment I would be ok to take the second part of this treatment. NOW I SEE WHY THE DOC SAID NOT TO PUT MY APPOINTMENTS IN INK! Fortunately, when the nurse consulted with the doctor, I was able to do my treatment. The reason being is that tomorrow, I go in for a very expensive shot to boost my blood counts. So I should be good by my next treatment on 10/29.
Why would ANYONE be disappointed that they were not going to get stuck with a huge needle, sit in a chair for 2-3 hours, and be given drugs that make you first feel wasted, and then feel crummy?
I'll tell you why! This Adventure is as much in the mind as it is physical.
When I got up this morning, I had thoughts like, "if I stay in bed will it all go away"? So I gave myself a "self-talk" (do you ever do that?). I told myself that when I get this one done, I will only have 5 to go. And, I've got to do this so these drugs can kill all those nasty little cancer cells floating around in my body. But the best thing I tell myself is that my God is Great. And He not only planned this for me, but also will be carrying me one step at a time!!!!! Can't get any better than that!!!
Keep up the prayers............. I think know they are working.
Yes, praying for you. And it "IS" in HIS hands. HE knows your blood count needs. HE knows the cancer cell (or lack there of) need. They may all be gone. HE KNOWS!!! And HE knows all about you. HE bought you. He owns you and YOU belong to HIM. I had to remind myself of that when I had my heart catheterization last month. And I thought, boy, I get in my car and drive to work and down't think about all those crazy drivers all the time. GOD's ANGELS ARE THERE!! HE LOVES US♥
