Hello to Bloggerland,
These past few weeks have flown by. I am working full time at Foothill, and yes, I have my old job back, and I love it. I sure did miss everyone at school. Brigitte is starting to adjust to dorm life. She called ever night for the first few weeks in tears! She didn't want to be there and she was terribly homesick. But now, she is doing better since fall ball for Lacrosse has started, and she has met some new people. She also went to Campus Crusades and seems to like that as well. As for the door food, she is learning what to stay away from. Kyle is doing fine socially and is working hard with his classes. He is really staying focused on school. What a change!!! Yea! This past weekend I was in Tahoe for my cousin Laurie's wedding. It was held at the same place as Bonnie's 7 weeks ago. We had a wonderful time and it is always nice to visit with family. The pic is of my 87 year old father and my two sisters. I have a brother but the pic I took with all of us didn't turn out.
This Wednesday I will have my colonoscopy at John Muir. I have to take the 30 pills on Tuesday evening to clean out, Oh Joy!! I'm not looking forward to the prep because my intestines are so sensitive to what I eat, but I'm not worried about the results. There may find some more p0lyps but I'm sure they wont' find anything else. The CT's have all been clear, praise the LORD! I get to have an anesthesiologists to put me out completely and that I'm very grateful for. I expect to be back to work on Thursday. I don't have my next CT until November, the week after Thanksgiving. I have been feeling good, a little neuropathy in the feet lingers but I think it will go away at some point. I still walk my 3 miles most days, and I even walked one morning before and after work, but I was wiped out by evening. So I'll stick to once a day until all my energy returns. It's been great being back in my old life, but I do miss parts of the life I was in last year. There were so many good things that came out of my cancer that I find myself reflecting back on so many special moments. I don't miss the chemo treatments, radiation or surgeries, but I do miss the staff at the doctors and all the wonderful people that I was in contact with. I also miss the times I had walking and sharing with my close friends. I especially miss the time I spent walking and singing my praise songs and praying to God. He was and is with me on this journey every step of the way. I know I can walk, share and sing praise songs, but I just don't have as much time to do it now that I am working again. I will have to learn to prioritize!
Thank you blogger buddies for joining me on this journey; for all the encouragement, love, gifts and prayers you have poured out on me. I have been so blessed by each and everyone of you.
Psalms 13:5-6 But I have trusted in Thy lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.
He truly has been wonderful to me!
