Thanksgiving was wonderful! My kids and grand kids were here and I think that we all had a great time. Tired babies by the end of the evening. Mark and I were pretty pooped too :)
This morning as I was doing my meditations and devotions, I was reminded once again how the Lord allowed me to go through these last months of difficult times but He never left me. He let me experience His peace which is beyond my human comprehension. My devotional said " this peace is not just for those that handle stress well...it is for everyone!"
I think this is the week that they will add a 'booster' to my radiation. I am not certain what that is exactly but rest assured, I'm going to ask. My arm pit looks like a black ham hock! I asked Mark if he thought that the radiation cooks the under arm fat faster than the rest of the skin. He looked at me like I had 2 heads! HA! I think that if I had fair skin, my under arm would be flaming red. My skin is not cracked or peeling so am hoping that it will stay intact and whole since I am so close to being done.
I am poking my fingers when I wake up, after breakfast, before lunch, 2 hours after lunch , before dinner, and before I go to bed. I'm missing one in there somewhere because Mark and I counted 7 times in the day. We start our diabetes classes this coming Thursday from 1-3. I am looking forward to those so that I don't feel like I have not a clue what I am doing except sticking my fingers and checking glucose #'s. What does all of this mean?
Another journey into new territory. Road trip!! But I am not alone :) I will draw near to Him. Amen?

I get to be the first to comment! Just think! Only six left! Wow! It has been a journey, hasn't it? and you've just about made it. I'm so proud of you, Julie! I don't always comment b/c I can't always figger out how to sign in so I don't have to be "anonymous", but I always read. LOL. I think I may see you tomorrow if you're at SF.
Well Prima, I cant believe how much I have missed. I would go in and it showed no new blogs so I figured you had stopped doing them. Now I finally went down to bottom of page and found the new ones. I didnt know they had found diabetes. That I have been told is part of getting older but it can be controlled but is hard when our only vice is eating. I know you will handle that as well. Take care. ** Fina
The woman with two heads, the missing link, the woman that faces Cancer with her God next to her and says "I'm gonna knock you out! Mama says knock you out!";) would have posted a video of the song but I will just give you a line or too:)
