Merry Christmas eve

I can't believe Christmas is almost here.  Time has really passed quickly the last  two months.  We are grateful to be home but not thrilled about dealing with Cancer again.  But, I know I can do it because I have already proven to myself that I am stronger than I ever thought I could be.

I received a beautiful blessing from Bishop Bollinger and it really put my mind at rest.  I am so grateful to him for following the promptings to come and give me that blessing.   I know the Lord is in charge and I have total faith that I will be able to handle all the treatment I will receive.

I am thankful for the people around me who are taking such great care of every need.  We have received some marvelous meals and our children have been so supportive. We are truly blessed in every way.   Life could not be better.

We went in yesterday for my 3rd Chemo treatment but the Doctor decided to postpone it for a week because my white blood count is down and my blood pressure is up.  I am also getting bad sores in my mouth so waiting is probably a good idea.  I did get this fun "Pink Lady Cocktail" concoction to rinse with that numbs my whole mouth so that I can eat.  Actually not eating this time of year is probably not a bad idea.   Too many goodies everywhere we go.

Tonight we are off to our daughter Rachel's home for a  Christmas eve dinner.  Her cute husband Jeff is a great chef and can make anything taste and look fantastic.   He will get the help of my daughter Michelle's sons of course.  They love assisting Jeff and are learning a lot in their teen age years.
