I don’t have anything special to tell you about my treatments or my health today. I’m feeling fairly well, my mouth is a little tender, but not serious, and I think the rest of the day will be good for it, so that’s a good thing. I’m just sitting here thinking how wonderful it is to have it be my birthday and feel so peaceful and contended.

I feel like life is looking positive, even tho the DRs like to poke and prod and find things to look at, and little issues keep cropping up to annoy me. I have the majority of my health, my family is always here to support me, talked to my kids today and got birthday wishes. My extended family has been wonderful, my brother bought me some “do rags” (your hubby’s will know what those are quicker than we do) plus a gift certificate. My Dad stopped by with his girlfriend & gave me $20 so I can buy a software subscription I’ve been wanting. One of my kids is either going to bring supper after church, or we are going out, we’ll decide later.

Some friends brought us lots of fresh veggies this week. We’ve been dining on fresh tomatoes (thankfully the mouth is staying under control!), cucumbers, green peppers, and sweet corn! Oh, what a heavenly diet.

I don’t hurt today, I’m fairly comfortable, I’ve got a great book, and nothing pressing me for time. Now what can be wrong with a life like that? I’m going to see if this mornings services is online yet, otherwise, I’ll listen to last weeks, and read some scripture. Got a nic devotional book here I like.

I have a friend that has had a lot of health issues and she called me yesterday, and was very encouraged that the DRs actually are seeing some elevations in certain enzymes and organ abnormalities, that may lead to some answers for her discomfort. I feel very lucky in knowing exactly what is wrong with me, tho we still have a couple questions coming up, but for the most part, we know what’s up and directly attack and treat me. She has had so many problems that seem to be underlying and hiding from the DRs so they can’t make a direct attack. It’s horrible to have DRs tell you that your pain is all mental, I’ve been there, done that, and it’s no fun. I thought most DRs were done with that type of attitude this day and age. I was very encouraged when she called yesterday with information that she had some positive test results. Please pray that the DRs will be able to pin-point something that is causing her so much trouble and that they can find a way to help her.

As for me. Simply pray that my mouth continues to stay as close to normal as it can. It is some tender, but not really bad. A lady in the chemo infusion room gave me a remedy, which seems to be helping, or it’s a great coincidence if it’s not, and I just pray it keeps on helping. I’m enjoying the tomatoes soooo very much!

I just felt like sending out a letter of glad tidings and joy, since that’s just how I feel today! Minor discomforts can always be dealt with, and when the overall feeling of health is good and pleasant and peaceful, we should take a moment to say “Thank You, Lord, I appreciate the good day!” and that’s what I’m doing now

Blessings to each one of you, and may you share a bit of my peace and joy today, and relax and have a wonderful birthday for me! Sherry
