It Actually Feels Good to do Laundry!

This week is going pretty well so far. I even feel well enough to get some laundry done! I never thought I would be glad to be able to do some housework, but I am. I have enough energy to do a few jobs each day, and that feels normal. I'm hoping tht this week and next week I will be able to have some energy to do a few things and maybe get out a little. Rog is going to take me to get a few groceries today. If we go to the store in town, it's smaller and I won't have to walk as far. If I can do a little, maybe the next round of chemo will be easier to stay in and rest. Yesterday I went in for blood work, Procrit shot and a basic check-up. All is going all right except my platelets, which are low. I need to go in again on Thursday to get that checked again. It is good that I am being watched closely.

I got a basic e-mail from Sheila Walsh from Women of Faith. She mentioned the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (ignore the spelling please) and how they were put into the fiery furnace. They knew that death was their fate yet glorified God no matter what their outcome would be. God performed a miracle and spared them from the fiery furnace. They sang praises and stood firm even though they thought they were going to die. I can't help but see myself in that story. Cancer isn't a fiery furnace, but it can be a death sentence unless God intervenes and performs a miracle. I need to stand firm and sing God's praises not matter what this outcome might be. We are praying for the miracle of healing, but only God knows what the answer to the prayer will be.
Either way, not matter what the answer is, I know that I am in His hands and His love is everlasting.
