I'm really sorry that it's been so long between posts lately. I had planned to be better about it this time, but this round was full of ups and downs. More so than the first round. I was hoping it would be easier. It was in a way, since we knew more of what to expect. However, the side effects lasted longer this time. The Sunday and Monday were still the worst days with the nausea and flu-like symptoms pretty much round the clock. But for some reason the nausea would not go away. After Monday, I dealt with the nausea every morning. But would always feel a bit better in the late afternoon/evening. It was much like a roller coaster to me. I was so tired of feeling ill.
By Friday morning, my friend, Lisa, came over to get some things and the poor girl had to listen to me cry and complain. I had just gotten off the phone with the doctor's office and had some new things to try. I had been crying to them too. I was just so tired. No sleep, not being able to eat much of anything, nausea, vomiting, and other tummy troubles. It all just equals a tired cranky girl at my house! She was so sweet to take the kids and go get the things the nurse suggested, and by that afternoon I was feeling so much better. I just thank God for sending her when He did. She asked if they came at a bad time, and inside I kept thinking it was the absolute perfect time. Maybe I just needed a new shoulder to cry on. Maybe I just needed to let it out and really cry. I don't know. I know He always takes care of us, often in ways that we don't anticipate.
So the weekend has been a reprieve for me. The first time in a week or so that I've had 2 good days in a row. So thankful for that.
Today I was able to worship with Brian and one of my very best friends right beside me. I am so humbled each Sunday as I look around at the faces in the sanctuary with me, knowing that so many of them are praying for us and genuinely care for us.
I was able to help out in the preschool program today. One of the little girls made me out of play-doh. She gave me orange hair. I love those kids!
I got to talk to some of my favorite people after church, see how their weeks were going.
I got to eat lunch at a new place with Art and Nyla and their girls and Brian and Elliott.
I got to take a nap.
It was such a good day!
Looking forward to more this week!
