Another Update

Went in for my 4th monthly Zometa treatment. I found out Zometa is used to treat osteoporosis, and bones which have been affected by cancer and other diseases. Fortunately, it is a quick treatment, about 30  minutes. On the way home from Duncan, we tried to take pictures (through the windshield) of some of the trees lining the road. Now I either have to find the cord that connects my camera to my computer, or see if the jump drive will accommodate my memory card, so I can download pictures.

When I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. ~Micah 7:8

Good News

Had a great visit with my friend Sally today! She came by and brought some things for the freezer, and we sat and talked for awhile. The Home Health nurse also came out; she said I am doing well. I called the oncologist's office to ask about the results from my blood test last Friday: my blood cancer marker number is down from 118 to 52! It was over 500 when I first saw the oncologist seven months ago, so praise the Lord! He is merciful!

I delight in the law (Torah) of God, in my inner being.  ~Romans 7:22

Rach and I volunteered at the Republican Party HQ in Duncan today. We also got to see our friends Jan Deeg and the Smiths. I am doing better being up and around, my back still gets tired, but it's so good to see improvements. I was off my oxygen for at least half the day. God is awesome!

Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? 
~Exodus 15:11

Warming again!

Summer does not want to let go. Don't know whether to run the A/C or the heater. But I have been tooling around the house in my electric wheelchair and doing some walking with my walker. Washed dishes today, and made pasta with pesto sauce. I tire easily and if I am up too long, my back gets sore. But it is getting better.

I'm Ba-ack!

So much has happened since my last post! I've been in the hospital and home again, spent 2 weeks in the ICU in an induced coma and another 2-3 weeks in a regular room before being released. I have had to learn how to feed my self and stand up, and am learning how to walk again.

Still spending much of my time in my bed, but I am starting to get around either with my walker or electric wheelchair, and doing a little cooking in the kitchen. Rachel and I went to the OKC Zoo this week with our friend Jan Deeg and had a great time.

O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in him.  ~Psalm 34:8

I'm Blessed!

Blessing for today: no chemo treatment - hooray! It's actually next week.

Oh, give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good, and his mercy endures forever!
I Chron. 16:34, 2 Chron. 20:21, Ps. 106:1, Ps. 107:1, et. al.

A quick update: I've had 14 radiation treatments and two chemotherapy treatments so far; my third treatment is scheduled for Tuesday, June 8. For a long time, I slept all day, which was such a blessing! Now I can hardly sleep at all due to a dry cough that has been with me for several weeks, and has gotten progressively worse.Am going for a blood transfusion this morning
