GOOD DAY

Yesterday was one of the hardest I have had in a long time. I talked with three people who each in their own way gave me words of encouragement. One suggested I needed to remember that I was human and what I was experiencing was very normal. One asked if I had taken any anxiety meds and of course I fight that. One suggested I allow myself to be in the moment and not run away from it. I prayed and took half an anxiety pill and nausea STOPPED. What does that say? I am feeling mach stronger today. I have done some yard work, cleaned bathroom and done vacuuming. I have had a salad and sandwich for lunch and it tasted good. I laughed as I read a special card from my CBS family. God is good.

Thank you for all your words of encouragement and prayers.

  1. I'm sure most of us can't begin to imagine what it is to put one foot after the other and "walk" through all the treatments you have endured, Colette. I am sure it must be incredibly tiring, both physically and mentally.
    I hope you will be able to let yourself try some of the things (like the anxiety meds) the doctors think will make the path easier.
    You must be counting the days until the end of radiation. I know I am - for you!

    Love, Anne

  2. So ... was it the praying -- or the pill that helped?? :-) Or BOTH?!?!? Whatever...... if praying/pills work in ANY COMBINATION , I say go for it! Take care of yourself - you are always in my 4 AM prayers.
