There's been a lot going on this week. I've had a lot of pain, decreased mobility, and too much weakness for my liking, but my parents came up on Friday and stayed until yesterday. I was able to go to my niece's district track meet. It was nice to sit outside for a few hours. My parents do a good job of trying to feed me. They must have done a decent job, because I was up over two pounds this week over last week at my chemo appointment.
I received a chemo treatment this afternoon and will now have a week off before my next one. My friend Melodie came today from San Francisco to visit. She will stay until Sunday. It didn't take long to realize that Mindy had snuck some of her liquid gold into Melodie's suitcase!
I sure am getting a lot of help these days as we prepare to put my house on the market here in the next couple of weeks. It would be impossible without the help of my sister and her husband who, with entirely full plates of their own, are also adding this project to their lives.
I continue to feel the power of so many prayers being offered in my behalf. Thank you all so much for the help I am receiving from each of you.
You are doing so well Michelle. You have such a grateful heart and remain in my prayers.
