I Come to the Garden...

thank you for the prayer everyone. I did end up getting the terrible chest cold, but I just finished 5 days of antibiotics, and I am feeling much better. I have missed a week of exercising, and I have been really tired all week, and I missed several days, at both my part time jobs. I can't wait to get back to feeling better and be in routine, exept adding the second week of my radiation. the daily mini burnage, is already showing the effects on my areola and nipple area , alot of peeling. I need to up the amount of coatings with my aquaphor ointment after the daily treatments. I love this thread, and I pray for you all as well :O) God bless, and continue to give us strength and grace as we continue this journey.

All of you are in my daily prayers! Things are going okay here

 I got voted off the Physical Therapy island yesterday, and instead sent back to the surgeon, who started me on antibiotics for cellulitis across my right incision. That in turn pushes back the start of chemo. Having been through chemo in the past several times, I know that this one step forward, and one step back, is the nature of the cancer dance. God is teaching patience again  

Fear Not

Fear not, fear not, fear not...
Like a mantra, these words echo in my head,
Trying to work their way into my heart,
But today, my head and my heart
Lie far apart from one another.
Today as I come to hear the best guesses
Of what tomorrow will hold,
I fight the fear that wraps itself
Around the foreign words and the unwelcome paths
As I try to find escape from this tangled web.
It is in this confusing hour
That my feet automatically turn to find You.
Your gentle hands reach out and enfold me,
Thawing the fear that has encased my heart,
Opening the door to a glimmer of hope.
Fear not again finds its way to my spirit,
Dropping like a warm cloak around my shoulders.
I give You all the uncertainties
In exchange for the certainty of You,
And in the giving,
I am released to live,
Fearless in the presence of You.

Laura-every poem touches me in places that I need that quiet reassurance that our Father is still there.  Thank you!

 Looks soft and fuzzy, but actually is a cactus at Meijer Sculpture Gardens in Grand Rapids, MI. 

would never have guessed it is a cactus.

Meece, I don't know if you've heard of lyzine plus. It has kept me from the flu and chest colds for over seven years. I' take it at the first signs of getting sick. I pop two or three down and later a few more. The symptoms disappear. My friends now all take lyzine with the same results. It is available for me at a local grocery market that sells health foods and health stores.

For me, I am checking out another plastic surgeon next Wednesday before moving forward with the surgery. I'm still struggling whether to do a uni or bi laternal mx. Pro's and con's to both. The blood clot seems to resolved on it's own. The only thing I wonder about if there were idc cells in the clot and if so what happen to it?

Again, how do you ladies put the pics up flowers or whatever up. I've tried to copy and paste a picture that my daughter painted but it didn't paste.

Evebarry, To post a picture, I used my picture album from Facebook in order to have a url. Just right click on  the photo and select Copy URL, then come to Post a Reply here. Hit the little Insert/edit image button in the toolbar (next to Smiley face), paste in your url, and hit the Insert button. That should get it to your page. The picture must have a url to use this so I haven't found a  way to use photos from my own Documents. Hope this helps.

Beautiful picture!

Feel better Meece.

I was very concern about you.

Hugs from EC to WC

Laural, I tried to download a picture from fb. It ask for size. I have no idea. It didn't work.

Hope this finds Meece feeling better today.
