What a wonderful, wonderful world!

This morning I went walking again with Tracy. We even jogged almost half of our route. It felt really good. I love talking with her and laughing. It’s good for my spirit. Later I went to my radiation appointment and had my weekly visit with my radiation oncologist, Dr. Clark. He checked to see how I’m doing after the first 7 radiation treatments and 2 low-dose chemo rounds. I still feel good and have not seen any redness or irritation on my chest or neck from the radiation yet. He clarified that when I’m done with the 6 weeks of radiation/chemo that they will give me 3 months of no treatments for my body to heal from everything and then another PET Scan. I can’t even imagine what 3 months without any chemo or radiation will feel like, probably, like HEAVEN! I’m really looking forward to that.

This afternoon I took a nap and was surprised when I woke up to find that a dear friend in the ward had dropped off a dinner for our family. What wonderful friends we have! I stopped by to see a young man who is leaving on his mission tomorrow for England and to wish him well. Then I stopped by to see my friend who had brought us the yummy dinner. It was wonderful to feel her spirit and reconnect with her. She’s a special lady.

Just as we were getting ready to go to bed, The door-bell rang and someone left an amazing Chicken Alfredo casserole on our porch. As we knelt in prayer, we gave thanks to our Heavenly Father for such a kind ward in which we live and for so many good people willing to reach out and support us right now. We are truly blessed.
