28 days of a new life

 Dear ones,

These past days have been ones of healing that was needed and time that has been blessed.

Today, as my physical healing goes, I feel good. My scars are healing very nicely though I am still experiencing a small pocket of fluid. Fluid is common as I have stated before but as I examine the results daily, I mark time by puffiness. Tonight, after my all but abbreviated bath, I again say… looking good kid!!

Today was a first real day of what I had hoped to be concerted effort toward work. And while I began the day with the best of intentions all became lost with endless calls with hold times, back and forth, still only to gain small results on matters of great importance. While we are forever grateful to the insurance institutions we forward much of our hard earned dollars toward, I still have little faith their interest is my best. I recorded 1:47 as the amount of time on the phone today with BCBS in an attempt to resolve only one matter. ONE! My conversations, all while pleasant in nature and with many words apologetic and measured with sincerity, it only makes me feel moderately convinced a resolution is at hand. I take a medication that I need for a specific need and because of a translation of word, I have been without for a concerted period of time. Time enough to cause even the BCBS agents concern. Patience is again the word of the day. Too bad these same institutions who provide a life giving service didn’t see it as one but instead of the business that it has become. 

Regardless, I persevere!!

Thank you all for your continued love and prayers during this time. I can report George has been a wonderful caregiver and continues his care as I find my strength. We are blessed!!

It is hard waiting for the other shoe to drop... this can apply to so many areas of life... financial security... job security... health... children... family... all of these things are difficult enough in their own way... what is most difficult is waiting for another to twist the knife... we as human are such flawed creatures to begin with... with the three fingers that point back as we call out the failure of others... it is enough just to keep the eyes in the back of the head open wide to protect us from the inevitable... often we know that which is about to happen... yet there are times when we never see it coming... it is not always about doing what is right... it is more often about doing what is necessary that gets us into trouble... and there in lies the rub... we do what we feel to be right to make the wheel turn and others just can't bare the thought of not having control... whether gained or earned... and as the aftermath of what is left behind... the question remains......

Treatment #2

There is a great deal of this journey that has left me flummoxed. I rise everyday with a goal to be brave and strong, to defeat the day with grace and determination. This is my code to life for everyday. That sounds like I’ve got it in the bag. Lol! Reality strikes again.  I have made two small solo endeavors in recent weeks but my guy has seen to most of my needs. I am blessed and thankful to have George at my side. Even the effort of the grocery store has proven to slow me up so I am grateful that his effort and heart is assuring that all my steps are guarded by his watchful eye. Bonus… arm candy! Lol! When people refer to chemo fog, trust they speak the truth. I had embarked on my first real solo adventure since my first treatment. I am excited to say the least! I began my adventure by assisting my sister with a lunch for the living center mother had spent the past 2.5 years of life. It is a small thank you to those who shared their caring hands and loving hearts. I will be fore...
