Today I got up early and started praying. My prayer was that I would be brave. I did not want to go to my iron transfusion because of the fear of not feeling well the rest of the week. I whined a little, felt a little sorry for myself but knew I had to go so I could ultimately get better.
The nurses were running a little behind. There were six people there getting chemotherapy. I just cannot tell you what a humbling experience it is, not to lessen my problem BUT IT IS MUCH LESS OF AN ILLNESS and COMPLETELY CURABLE. I talked with a woman who had Stage 4 cancer, others were quiet and thoughtful. We all slept off and on. It was basically uneventful for me until I was startled awake. One of the chemo patients had an allergic reaction and was having problems breathing. I started praying for the sweet woman. As they got her stable my heart beat started to slow again and I started to thank Jesus for helping her and me.
I got home, tired, but at peace. Nothing I will go through will be to the degree of those I was with today. I got a good report on my Iron. It is up to a 9 from a 5.6. I am working toward 12-14. Another one of my numbers was up from a14 to a 29, working towards 35-49. I may have a few bad days but it will put me a couple of points closer to being better. I am counting my blessings, I am on my way!
Our church provided a meal through a sweet family. It was such a blessing to my family.
Praising Jesus with you! have a good nights sleep!
oh, praise God!! thanks for letting us know.
I hope you’re resting Ruthie…I love you, now go lay back down and hoist your legs above your head.
God does have a way of humbling us. I know I can be quiet whiny, but then I see so many much worse off than me, and it really makes me thankful.
You have the right/ positive attitude.. keep it up.
