Every Season

I am feeling much better since the pleurisy diagnosis on Monday. Yesterday I seemed to be more sore, but today I feel much better and able to breath without pain.

I wanted to share a few of the beautiful fall bouquets I received after my surgery. I have really enjoyed the color and fragrance they lend to our home. I spent today doing alot of "self-care". I got my hair cut real short and colored (red, again), called to make appointments with the dentist, the optometrist, etc. I have been so focused on cancer doctors, that I have postponed other essential health services.

Today is St. Theresa's day (my Catholic friend tells me) and my sister (non-Catholic, but an on-fire Christian) sent me St. Theresa's prayer. St. Theresa was knowns for doing small things to show God's love. Take some time today to show God's love.

I will get a report from the tumor board in St. Louis tomorrow and I see Dr. Mathew, my Pittsburg oncologist, on October 15. I'm sure between the team at Barnes and Dr. Mathew, a new plan will be implemented. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the cards, calls- DELICIOUS food - and mostly your fervent prayers on my behalf.

There is a time for everything and everything on earth its special season. Ecclesiastes 3:1.

Blessings-

Love to you!
