Day 15: Project Save the Veins

Today is the best I have felt since my chemo treatment a week ago. I am still tired but my stomach felt much better. So, if you have been praying, thank you. I feel like I am back in the land of the living actually and so glad to be here. I had a doctor's appointment this morning and I guess everything looked good. I am still getting use to the "lingo" and what "good" really means when you have cancer. There was a young man in the lobby when I got there that was actually on his last treatment. I couldn't help but to dream for a minute about what that feeling might be like. I know God placed him there to continue to give me the strength and the hope that I need to press on.

I do have a minor surgery tomorrow. If you could pray for that I would be grateful. I call it "Project Save the Veins" as they are actually putting a port in so I no longer have to have I.V.'s constantly put in. I never thought that I would be so happy about having a permanent I.V. but after feeling like pin cushions over the past two weeks, I am ready! .

My spirits have been really good today. I am just so grateful to be feeling better. I guess I didn't realize how badly I felt before. LOL!  I still can't do a lot. I folded a load of laundry and picked up the kids' toys twice and I was wiped out but we are getting there. I plan on cherishing every minute that I can for the next week until my next treatment and then we will start all over again. But this time, I will at least know what to expect. I think the fact that I didn't have a clue what to expect made it hard last time. I didn't know what to prepare for and if you know me, I like to prepare for everything! :-)

Thanks again for all your prayers. Talk to you again soon!

Love,
Andrea
