Baptista, St Gabriel, the phoenix, wina, OutinChgoBurbs, Deacon Ed B and Bobbie, Mom4truth, cassie89 and the Rock (244Rocket) and all others, thank you and may the Lord continue to bless you for your faithfulness in prayer. You are storing up treasure in heaven.
I am still healing from the skin damage done by the apparent overdose of chemo. I am having to tweeze layers of dead skin off, so that the medication can penetrate to the new skin beneath. Sponge baths get old, you know? My appetite is schizophrenic, with favorite foods tasting good one day and almost making sick the next. Water is OK one day, out the next. Then, it’s alright if its warm instad of cold. Yesterday, nothing seemed good. I can only guess that this is due to my system being under attack from the chemo.
My attitude has been rough, as well. I must go to reconciliation today for my poor reaction to my DW;s love. Yes, I am tired of taking so much medication and having such a restricted diet, but that is the new rule that I live under. Your prayers have helped immensely, as I can actually feel them at times, improving my outlook and my health. God bless you!
DW is reading a book by Fr. Jim Willig, (R.I.P.) a priest who had renal cancer. He wrote a book/journal of his journey through cancer. It is helping DW to understand my bad moods and limitations. I will probably read it when she is done. In any case, I am forever grateful to all of you for accompanying me on this oddyssey - one which was chosen for me by the Father. I am sorry to see that my spirit needs so much purification! However, better to feel flames in this life than in the next.
Christ’s peace remain with all of you.
