I can't believe that November is already here. I am already freezing and my boys said that its not even cold yet. Yikes! I started Consolidation 1 and can already tell that its going to take a lot of patience and encouragement through the next 30 weeks. I am coming off of the steroids, which every three weeks I will be back on for a week, and the side affects are not so nice. The body shakes and the aches and pains in all of your bones and joints is not my idea of a fun thing. There are days when I feel so alone, now that I am home the phone hardly rings, the visits have not been as often and I think that is when the depression and despair set in.
I went to the clinic yesterday and all my counts are great, the nurses and Dr. know just how to boost you up so you can keep going. You think that you are feeling crappy and they let you know that you are just sailing through. I have so many blessings to be thankful for and remind myself, no matter how hard it gets, we can have a good cry, pick myself up and move forward. I get frustrated with all that needs to be done to keep me safe and not get sick and I can't do them, I am not good at asking for help, but I need lots of help.! I love my family so much and appreciate all that they do for me. I have the best friends in the world and thank you all for your prayers.
Keep your chin up! I will try to be better about visits although this week I am staying away because I have a sore throat. Smile! You are loved by so many!

Hi Geneice!
ReplyDeleteI have also had the yucky sore throat! I finally had enough, and I'm still taking the antibiotics; but I'm feeling sooooo much better. I can't even comprehend what you are going through. I admire your strength, courage, and bravery. With football now over, basketball is just beginning. (Except for the fun summer camp down in St. George that we've already attended.) I have been praying for you almost every day. Keep your spirits strong and always remember that Heavenly Father and our Savior love you and know of your suffering. You have not been forgotten!
