2nd week of radiation & more surgery
There are 5 radiation treatments down and 23 more to go. Saturday and Sunday I had no signs of fatigue. I did work Saturday afternoon over at J.L. Moore moving the Artic Fox camper into an off area of the warehouse. I also rearranged a lot of stuff sitting on the warehouse floor and put up on shelves for more floor space so I can work on my furniture projects. I also got out my new (2year old) planer, jointer and large industrial shop vac equipment and tested them out. Just have to hook all the tools up to the shop vac using flexible pipe. Did get a chance to run all three ATV's to keep the gas mixed up and not gum up the fuel system. Split about 25 logs with the log splitter and cleaned up the sheets of steel that had blown around in the parking area. Did a dumb stunt moving a Taco Bell refrigerator and ended up with the unit on top of my legs. They are now bruised and sore, but they still work. It was hard sitting in church on Sunday morning as most of my muscles in my right arm and legs hurt. But it was a good hurt as I worked to cause the pain. I am still amazed by the people coming up to me telling me that they or someone in their family has cancer and could I pray for them. I count that as a privilege to be asked. My blood pressure has been great this last week. The doctor wanted me to be around 130/80. It has been around 117/75. Maybe because I have resigned myself to live one day at a time as the Lord allows. One cute thing that Patti said I have to repeat. And I quote her, "In the 34+ years we have been married, we have learned to share everything. I am going thru the change of life with all the hot flashes and you (Steve) seem to be doing all the crying." Yep, we have shared pretty much every trial and triumph that have come along. Cancer is just one more sharing event. Have a great week and pray for someone who needs it, especially pray if that someone is yourself.
