Another long day. Summer showed up early this morning and she, Whit, Mark and I went to my first chemo appointment together. We were lead into a room with recliners and other soft and cushy couches that were arranged in little seating arrangements, sort of like little cubicles. Cozy for family members that want to visit with the person getting chemo treatment. Nurse Deanna was very informative and helpful as she stuck me (twice) in my port to dispense the 4 bags of names I can't pronounce into my veins. Nurse Terry thought that they would have to use my arm because my port had just been done yesterday and it seemed very tender....Wrong.
I started to feel almost like I was coming down with something. I could not get my bearings straight for lack of a better word. My eyes felt strange and my head feels sort of rummy. Colleen had made some kind of tea that has become my new favorite drink. It settled my slightly upset stomach. It is all I have had this afternoon and evening. It is made from ginger and soda water I think, plus it has mint leaves, grapes and honey. I am going back to bed because I feel like I have the flu and I am certain it is this new 'medicine' flowing through my veins.
Thank you for all the prayers that continue day and night for me.

Mama! I sang this at the top of my lungs over and over all the way home, wee wee wee snort snort. :)It is one of my faves but I didn't know all the words, just used the "watermeleon" trick! You have an amazing light in you that attracts people from all walks of life and it is incredible to watch. I love you Mama and after this "hurricane" the rainbow is going to be amazing! Woot!
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe"
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby you're a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Good morning Julie! I love what Summer posted about your light within...it is so true! I can't wait to see the rainbow at the end of this mess. I can't help but get angry as I read what you are going through, Satan is such a creep!! My arms are around you my friend and my prayers are non stop. I love you so much!
What a comfort for me to think of Mark, Summer, and Whitney, and the Lord with you, and you there shining your light...and Colleen mixing tea for you, then Summer's beautiful song....for a beautiful lady...
