No concert for me............

Life had been busy busy busy for me. Work continues to keep me busy and I still enjoy aspects of my job. I had a lot of time to reflect this past weekend and couple of days and just remember God's goodness and graciousness in providing this job for me. This week has been rough at work, and it's only Wednesday night. But nevertheless, the stress definitely out-weighs the joy that my job brings. There's a lot of paperwork and logistics required in my job and yes, it's stressful, but knowing that I'm helping out someone, means so much more to me.

Anyhow, I was talking about my year anniversary with my mom and we both couldn't hardly believe a year has gone by already. In fact, my coworkers couldn't believe it either! Mom and I were talking about how time flies and how gracious God is in providing things in His own time for us. I was joking with my mom about "celebrating" and she just said "ok". Well, I happened to mention that my all time favorite jazz musician will be in Charlottesville on Sunday June 8. The jazz guy is Kenny G (and for all of you who are very conservative, you will definitely love his music--it's very relaxing). I first heard about Kenny G probably when I was about 13 or so and loved his music since. So, mom told me to check out ticket prices for us (meaning my dad, mom, and myself) to go see him in Concert. I was thinking to myself somewhere in the lines of "ok, so jazz music isn't as popular as other music and Kenny G is really consider and "older" musician." So, I'm thinking these tickets won't be expensive and it will be affordable for us to see him in concert; and besides the only real concert I've ever been to was Michael W Smith about 7 yrs ago! Well, I looked online and tickets prices were-----ok get this----the CHEAPEST were $59.99!!! I nearly fell on my face and said to myself ooookay, nevermind, no concert for me"

-----------so I guess I have to settle to buying his newest CD in stores! I'm not broken-hearted that I won't go; but the thought was great while it lasted.

Decision, Goodbyes, True Healer

  EIGHT  MONTHS---REALLY? I n many ways, I can barely grasp that I have been on this chemo medication for 8 months already.   This means, I   had 9 visits with the oncologists, 9 blood draws,   4 ECHOs, 4 EKGS, 3 neuro-ophthalmology exams,   and 3 MRIs (related to my chemo drug—it includes initial baseline check, one in May, and one just recently on August 25 th which went much smoother).   I actually had a 4 th one but it’s unrelated to the chemo drug, but still related to my disorder).      If you remember from my previous posts, the chemo meds has been really hard on my body; there were so many times I really wondered how much longer I could endure the “fire” on my scalp, or the pain in my legs.    Back in July, the pain in my scalp, face started to get extremely bad.   After completing my 21 day cycle/28 day cycle, we noticed that even with my usual scheduled one-week break from the medication, my sores continued t...

Thankful for Pastors in our Midst----

It's past 2:45 AM and I'm still awake. I've been awake since 9a.m. without any naps which is unusual for me. I've been in my bed since 11pm and I can't seem to shut my mind off.  There's so much going on in my heart and my mind that I can't seem to just "turn off"  It has relatively little to do with the amount of physical pain I'm in tonight nor does it have little to do with upcoming medical procedures.  I just have a lot on my mind.  Some good things; some sad things; so praiseworthy things, some heart wrenching things, etc. Today for all you VA folks, know how blistering cold it was today; I have to be extra careful about not getting sick due to my low immunity; plus with my horrible pain scale today, I just couldn't make it to church.  I wanted to make it to either the early morning service or the Thanksgiving service my church had to night combined with the formal Installation Service of the official (should I say "dubbing??...

In My Need I Seek Your Help.......

There hasn’t been a huge change in things regarding my health since my last update/blog post.    My pain management doctor has tried a different form of non-steroid/non medication injection (for my abdominal pain) that seems to help some (to be explained later in the post).   It may need to take a few tries to see if this treatment works; that is, if I decide if I want to continue this kind of treatment.   As for my head pain and neck pain, my neurologist is doing all he can for now with medication therapy; and working along with my pain management doctor who is holding off other forms of treatment until he can slow down things with my abdominal pain.   In the meantime, I get some relief by going to my chiropractor/kinetic energy doctor in town.   I continue to be grateful for the doctors I have –those who are not giving up on me and trying very hard to try to find a solution to the cause of all this pain.   So far, my pain man...
