A year ago right now (4:14pm), I was done with all the surgery prep. and was waiting to go into surgery.
I’m so glad I’ve kept a blog through this journey. As I read back through my post from 2 days after surgery, there are so many things I have forgotten after just one year.
This morning as I looked in the mirror, I was reminded of how different my body looks today than it did a year ago. Most days I don’t think about it, unless a scar is bothering me. But this morning was different. I’ve been feeling down all day. I don’t really feel like I’m dwelling on memories from last year, but I must be a little. (And I’m exhausted from keeping up with 6 kids at the Great Wolf Lodge the past 2 days! So much fun but I’m pooped!)
A week from today I have a check-up with my oncologist. I don’t think it will be a very eventful appointment…the bone pain I was having is gone. However, I’ve been having some sciatica pain for the past few weeks. I didn’t do anything to injur it and am a little concerned about it. I have been on a steroid and muscle relaxers. With those meds and exercises and stretches, it’s getting better slowly, but in the back of my mind is still the concern that the cancer has spread to my back. When I saw the Dr. last week, she was glad to know I had an appointment soon with the oncologist so we could talk about my back if the pain has not improved.
At the risk of being too much of a downer, I’ll end here and go make dinner. 🙂
Praying that your oncology appt brings only GOOD news and that our Great Physician would heal your back pain. Keep us posted!
Sounds like a fun memory maker with the kids. We never got there but it sounded like it would be a good time.
Praying for you
I can understand your concern and will support you through my prayers. May our God fill your mind with thoughts of Him as you put in your “helmet of salvation” to continue in His race!
Jennifer I am also praying for you and your appointment next week. I am praying that everything is fine and that you will have peace. You are such an example of a Godly woman and the strength that God gives you. I love you and continue to pray for you and your family. Love Aunt Carol.
Praying your appointment will be a good one. It is nice to get away but kids can wear you out. It’s like you need a little get away after all of that. I do remember feeling like that . You are a very amazing strong women. Thanks for always keeping us informed. God Bless . Happy Easter
I’m echoing the comments and prayers already posted…will continue bringing you before the Father for His peace while you wait…and for your pain to go away
I pray you will have only good news. Have a wonderful Easter Day with your darling daughter’s. Carol Moser
