I have been mourning the loss of my eyelashes for the last few days but that has been the least of my worries. You know that when you loose your lashes it really makes you look like a chemo patient. Well I really look like a chemo patient. I surprise myself in the mirror sometimes. I know they will grow back though so I'm not sweating it too much. When the only makeup you wear is mascara and you don't have hair getting ready in the morning is a breeze.
So, while Daniel was in Kentucky this week doing some training with the National Guard I took a little mini get away hear in Modesto. A staycation if you will. I was brought breakfast in bed every morning, in fact I had lunch and dinner in bed as well. I had service at the touch of a button 24-7. From my 3rd floor window I had a beautiful view of the snow covered mountains in the distance. Each morning I pulled my chair up to the window and with that view in sight spent some peaceful time with the Lord. Catching up with a few friends was also a highlight. It wasn't too bad. The only downside was the IV stuck in my right arm and frequent interruptions at all hours by well meaning nurses getting my vitals or insisting I ingest medication.
All joking aside, cancer sucks in so many ways, but I still feel very blessed and loved and cared for and held in the palm of our Heavenly Father's hand. I do not have fear, depression, or discouragement often, although I do have my moments but they are few and far between. I have been showered with love and affection from above and here on earth.
Since I was unable to complete my infusion on Monday, I will have my last chemo next Monday and am looking forward to being done with this phase of treatment. It has not been fun. Looking forward to finishing out the month of December with Christmas feeling healthy and happy.
