It wasn't chemo that got me. It was the flu bug Semi carrying a trailer full of congestion, coughing, and fatigue.
After more than 2 weeks, I am finally feeling good. Wow what a nasty bug. So weak I couldn't even write. THAT IS BAD!
But I am back!!!
Feeling good today and gathering strength.
Good news - I have lost more weight where I am no longer overweight. Not quite to the 135 they say I am supposed to weigh but under 150 and I haven't seen that in 20 years.
Now I need to exercise. Yikes I am all flab. Need some muscles.
Chemo #3 should happen Monday. Had to skip one because of the bug.
One thing that I am really not happy with, is this bug derailed me spiritually too. I did nothing and God wasn't even on the horizon. I thank the Lord that He didn't forget me. But I learned a lesson, no matter what keep God first.
Also - sad news. While I was languishing with the flu bug, my sweet Father in law went to be with the Lord. He is definitely happier now. I did get to say good bye to him. Bittersweet times. I do miss him, but I am happy to have my house back.
At times it was like grand central station with all his caregivers.
So, with my goal to heal and get healthier, I am now taking over my house again.
First thing - change the room my FIL stayed in. It is now my play room - or will be.
Tearing up the carpet - paint the walls a pretty aqua color - tile the floor. Can't wait to get started.
Remember God is always good!
Lamentations 3:22-25
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
I'm so glad you are back! I've missed you. I'm so sorry to hear about your father-in-law's passing.
