At Long Last!

At long last...I'm writing again.
Once again I feel the need to apologize for the long time between posts. I have found putting thoughts together and writing a little extra difficult this week.

Pain levels had been hovering around the same intensity until a day or two ago…so Hallelujah!!!! At long last...I’ve finally found some pain relief!
Thank heavens and the doctors for finally adjusting my pain meds. My brain is still a little foggy but at least I’m not in constant pain anymore.

The long weekend was great! We got home to Abbotsford and had the chance to catch up with several friends…again, Hallelujah! I’m a people person and I’ve been feeling very alone and isolated out in Vancouver so seeing friends was an absolute must, even with pain and fatigue. Being a long weekend we were blessed to see several people while still getting in the rest I needed. It was soooo good to finally make it to church again! Even with the group being much smaller than usual I was completely overwhelmed by the love in that place. I’ve felt so disjointed over the last month or more and so when you walk in it’s like walking through some special door into another land. I know, sounds hokey but with my limited brain power it’s the best description I can come up with.

In short…reconnecting with those I love this weekend filled me with incredible joy and life! Yay Me!!! And Thank You!


An update on the medical stuff…
Actually there’s not much to report as of yet. After radiation they leave everything alone for a month before any follow up tests because radiation still hangs around to do it’s stuff for a couple of weeks (or at least that’s how I understand it). I see my oncologist tomorrow for a general follow up, which consists of me telling her about what’s been going on with me over the last few weeks. Then she’ll set up an appointment with my radiologist and follow up CT scans and such. I probably still won’t know anything for a few more weeks. It’s certainly an odd time of waiting but what can you do?

I’ve spent the last few days pondering what else I could write about but kept coming up dry so I guess that’s it for today. I guess that’s ok since I’d have to tape my eye lids open if I were to write anything else tonight so I it’s off to sleep with me.

Nighty night Beloved.
