May 18
7:25 took a bit for ibuprofen to kick in to ease pain a little so I could fall asleep. Slept most of night. Woke exhausted. Nose still congested and stuffy but not as much I guess. I’m a little dizzy. Tummy hurts. Pain level is 6/7.
Song: ♫In the morning when I rise give me Jesus♫
Hebrews 6:10; 2 Samuel 19-21

Load of clothes folded and laying on bed.
Morning meds and vitamins taken.
9:32 just finished juicing for day and emptying dishwasher. I’m flat wore out. Need to lay down a little bit to rest.
Waiting for a loft bed to be delivered this morning sometime.
10:42p my phone was very active today…from calling oncologist office to make sure that I could still get tests done on Friday though sick to Drs offices calling me to remind me of appointment to pre-registration. One of the appointments not only texted me but also called me not even 10 minutes later.
Ugh!
James 1:5
Exhausted. Wore out. Hurting. Cranky. Beside myself regarding the strict diet I had to adhere to for 24 hours. I can’t even do my juicing – something about not eating anything that could turn to sugar in the body because it could interfere. I thought the Mediterranean style diet was strict enough, and I’m just learning about that. Praying all goes well.
Nerves stinging throughout. Muscles stiff and achy. Severe stomach cramping. Exhausted.
Thankful for…
1. God’s provision of a loft bed for Rae’s room at parsonage.
2. God providing a coffee table that Jakob can use.
3. Cake order placed for Sunday.
4. Able to buy a few groceries for a family in need.
5. Able to place tract order for passing out at my doctor appointments.
6. Able to share info with friends today about help with healing (health, cancer, etc.)
7. Bro Kelly surgery went well.
Symptoms: balance a bit off today, extremely tired, smell in nose is weird, skin sensitive and itchy, nerves stinging,
May 19
6:45 broken sleep. Drank too much before bed and had to get up around 3am. Woken by severe pain around 6:30. Severe cramping and low back pain. I’m exhausted. Lord, please help me to do well with the strict diet I need to follow today.

Able to encourage a friend in ministry. Praying God will help sustain her in time of need. Being able to encourage and help others always is an encouragement to myself.
Psalm 119:105
7:45 send encouraging texts to all my teens that I have a number for.
Work on picking up the house. It’s a mess. Load of clothes in wash. After 30 minutes, I’m wiped out. Stomach cramping is so fierce I just want to curl up in a ball. Nerves stinging is moderate. Muscles stiff and achy but ease some as I move around. Exhausted and lacking energy.
I turn on wholetones music chroma. Still not able to watch some of the scenes as they are too much movement for my brain (ie. winding circular stairs). Sinuses congested. Feel like I already need a nap.
9:15 Using nebulizer for my chest congestion and cough.

Hanging clothes on line. Decide to mow a little more in laundry area. I’m amazed how much additional energy the moringa gives me even for a short bit.
Need a shower. Mowing even for a few minutes causes much perspiration. I haven’t perspired this much in years. It does not gross me out as much knowing now that it’s one of the body’s way of detoxifying.
11:00 are 3 scrambled eggs with a little Himalayan salt and glass of water
1200 2nd load clothes hung. Rae helped. Noon vitamins taken. I’m exhausted and need a nap.
12:45 recvd a thoughtful gift today from a secret sister – a set of 4 head turban caps to cover my head when I lose my hair during the chemo. I’m excited but also want to cry. The thought of losing my hair has been the hardest to accept so far, but at least I can do it in style.
2:00 need to pay a few bills.
5:30 lots to do I see upon arriving at church. Able to get a few of the teens to help.
I’m glad Rae plays offertory on Thursday.
I think my Mom is having a hard time with my Dad having first stages of dementia. From one point, it’s sad because he is such a smart person. I remember him correcting me as a child when I quoted a verse wrong or forgot the reference. Now at times he struggles to even find the passage my husband is preaching from. Mom helps him, but seems to be surprised each time he cannot find the passage.
9:30 I’m tired and feeling weak. This strict diet is not good for me. I hope it helps though. Praying for good results. I’d really like it if the cancer was gone, but not my will but Thine be done Lord.
Thankful for…
1. Secret Sister sent me head covers for when I lose my hair. That means a lot.
2. Pastor Sean came thru surgery well…now praying for good recovery.
3. Able to have enough energy to hang two loads clothes.
4. Of the 8 teens I text today, 6 came to church tonight. We had more teens than that, but some of them don’t have phones.
Symptoms: exhausted. Feet and legs tingling and stinging. Low back throbbing. Hands ache. Whole body aches. Nerves stinging. Thirsty. Lacking energy.
