The next month is going to be crazy, but might as well get it all over with before radiation starts. Along with the reconstruction surgery that is scheduled on May 18th, I will also be having my ovaries out on June 3rd. That’s a crazy weekend, but a better option than the next weekend which would leave me still recovering from surgery when I have to get my first bone strengthening infusion.
The calendar is getting very full and it’s pretty overwhelming to think about everything. So I’m just not thinking about it. The weather is beautiful, Tom will be home for dinner and we are going to go BBQ down at the lake. Doesn’t that sound lovely? Oh, and I felt the wind blowing through my hair for the first time in 6 months. It felt very strange. Nice, but strange. 🙂 So much to be thankful for!!
So glad you got an appt for your ovaries and reconstruction. Radiation is going to be hard with the girls home. But I’m sure God will work it out. The end is at least in sight. Praise God!!
The “end” is in sight, but it’s not going to be very fun getting there. I already started looking at cruises in August…
Hang in there, Jennifer! Having a hysterectomy has it’s perks (I just had one last month). It’s not all fun (hot flashes are a pain), but no more monthlies! Love you!
Yep. Hot flashes are definitely a pain!! I just sent you an email…
God gives us one day at a time to live. Some are good days some are not. But we have God within us giving us the courage and the strength for those hard days. You are covered in prayer by many people every day and we all love you and want you to draw on God to meet your needs. Jesus Christ is bigger and mightier and more powerful than any of those bad days. He is holding you close. You need not fear about the days ahead. GOD IS YOUR ROCK!!! Hugs and love!
Such great reminders. Thank you for always encouraging me! 🙂
He will get you through!
Rejoicing in your wind-blown hair!
It’s the little things. Thanks for being excited with me! 🙂
Glad to hear that you have everything scheduled and know what lies ahead. Praying that God continues to carry you all through this hard time. Love, Hugs and prayers to all of you.
Just saw your comment and thought I responded to someone else’s comment in the wrong spot and then realized it was you. Hello! 🙂 Thanks! Miss you!
I’ve been following your journey to keep you in prayer, though I haven’t replied lately. Jennifer, you’re amazing. You seem to see everything through God’s eyes knowing He and He alone is directing all of our lives. Your gentle courage is a crown you wear encouraging others dealing with heartbreak. I loved you rejoicing in your wind-blown hair. Greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world. To the One who is Saviour to us all I sing forever. My love and blessings.
Thank you Nancy. Do we have a mutual friend? You might have told me before, but I can’t remember. 🙂
Love to hear about the wind blowing through you hair. Praying to our Lord to strengthen your body through all of your appointments and surgeries. I want to thank you for keeping us so informed on your journey. Our prayers are with you everyday. God Bless. Take care.
