Home never felt so good!

It is great therapy to be at home! It doesn't make all the pain disappear but sure makes it more bearable. My strength is returning under the watchful eye of my darling nurse, Robert. You should see him change the bandage of my pic line, a multi-step procedure requiring utmost care and a "sterile" region that he maintains. Sometimes his main job is to keep my spirits up & he is doing that very well also. I continue to be so blessed by the emails and blog entries of so many of you. God is so good to bless me with lots of loving family and friends. My church family just covers me with a blanket of love including calls, blogs, emails, fund raising, and letting me have Robert with me. The doctor says I have "chemo brain" which is a nice explaination of why I don't think straight, have to have things repeated and can't remember a lot of the last month (did I really live through March, 2007?) The oddest thing is to not be in a hurry for anything. I didn't realize how much self-inflicted stress was in my life because I was always thinking of the next thing that had to be done. I know that we can't make all of our responsibilities just disappear like I have had to, but just imagine if you could. Enjoy each thing you find yourself doing and thinking of God's purpose for you doing it. What a change in perspective! Love to you all, Trudy
