Gee whiz, I dont even know where to start. So many things have been going on lately, and frankly, Im just TIRED! Ill start with Macy. Jeremy had Macy duty today. Her counts were decent, so chemo for the week was a go. She had a rough week with some pain, fatigue, and of course, the yellow jacket sting on her tongue. Shes getting better and stronger each day, so we hope to stay on this upward slope. I continue to be in pain. It is especially excruciating in the evenings. However, all X-rays are clear, so theres no damage being done. Phew! Im only causing myself the pain by overdoing it. No lectures please! I am not out training for a marathon... like my hubby is doing... Im only doing normal, daily activities. Theres NO WAY that I can take it easy! Trust me when I say, I would if I could! I have my children to care for, a house to clean, and a classroom full of students that are eager to learn biology. Okay so I lied, theyre not eager... but they still have to learn, and Ive still got bills to pay. I now know what it feels like to live in pain. I absolutely hate it, and it frustrates me to no end!! I should be healing faster than this, and I can only hope that it gets better as more time goes by. But all of that is the least of our worries. Our hearts became heavier, and our battles became harder this week as my mother in law was diagnosed with breast cancer. We lover her dearly. This is Jeremys mom, my mother in law and dear friend, my girls Nana, and our biggest helper with Macy. She became Macys caregiver when I went back to work. Shes been bringing Macy to nearly all of her clinic appointments and chemo in Baton Rouge. Shes been our savior, and now shes facing months of chemo, weeks of radiation, and a major surgery. I have no doubt that she will win this battle, but her journey wont be easy or short. Please pray for her. Pray that her journey will be as easy as it possibly can be. Please pray that we can find ways to help her (its very frustrating to want to help those you love, but your lifes journey makes it nearly impossible to help.) Pray for my girls, because they love their Nana so very much. Pray for Jeremy, as he expends all of his energy on making sure that Macy and his mom are very well taken care of. And, if youve got any left, throw in a prayer for me, as Im getting worn down, both physically and emotionally. Life is tough! There are so many dark clouds in our skies, but Im trying to live on the silver linings.
