I needed extra help to Bee Able to get through the roller coaster events today. Thanks Mom for the calming words, "If you were feeling better this wouldn't be bothering you as much." Right on, Mom. I detest the fact my monster demands attention. I would much rather focus my attention and actions on others needs, but I also realize I must be willing to do my part in restoring wholeness to myself.
My oncology team has been absolutely superb this entire time but today Dr. B said things to me which brought me to tears and I wanted to give him a hug. He told me he was very proud of me and pleased how long I was able to endure the implant procedure; that he could not begin to imagine how I felt and he was very sorry that I had suffered from it even though doing the procedure was necessary.
Please pray that the new means of brachytherapy (outpatient) is in place before the end of Wednesday next week, otherwise I will be stuck having to do 48 straight hours of it as an inpatient. The very idea of doing this the hard way literally makes me nauseated but I told Dr. B in order to get rid of the final vestiges of my monster I'll do whatever is necessary.
I had a super long session of external treatment today, over 30 minutes of being zapped every couple of minutes; normally I'm zapped just 4 times.
Chronic nausea has become a daily part of this adventure as of 8 days now. It's from the radiation side effect menu bar, as is continued low blood counts, seriously low potassium level, loss of appetite and burping aka BELCHING. (Doesn't exactly get me on the A list for social engagements, eh?)
At the pharmacy today I was taken aside and told I no longer had medicaid coverage so I'd need to use another method of payment; I thanked them and left the store in tears without the meds. At home I called the financial lady who'd helped me set up the medicaid, left a message and between her returning my call found a notice of medicaid denial in my mailbox: reason was paperwork not done in timely manner, When E.called me back and heard this news she was furious with medicaid but reassured me this would be taken care of on Friday and that the hospital itself would provide me with the needed meds on Friday when I came in for treatment.
On the PLUS side: monster is getting more puny by the day, the radiation burns are healing, the emu products are really helping, my faith is stronger than ever and I'm always blessed with opportunities to share God's sweet enduring love with others through this journey.
And so, once more we close the day exhausted; me for having lived through it and you, dear ones exhausted just reading through all of this. Whew! But now at least for me it's time to toddle off to bed.
Living without faith is like driving in a fog.

I LOVE the bee statements...I don't know where the originated from but they are great. So...you sent me on a journey to see what I could find in God's word to relate to your blog today and this is what I found...not surprising as I believe this is how you live your life.
