The past three weeks have been kind to me and I was very worried it meant the medicine was not working. The doctor explained as the tumor shrinks I will feel better, less side affects from the disease. The medicine we are using is intended to lessen the chemo side affects as well. Hence I feel better.
I went to a meeting for my bowling league last week and was horribly offended by one of the bowlers. She asked me if I should really be there....I was wearing a face mask to protect myself from the people there, not to protect them from me. Had she not visibly stepped away from me I would have thought her comment was out of concern for me...the step back and further avoidance showed me that was not the case.
Yesterday I went for my labs, while waiting a woman approached me, gently put her hand on my left arm and told me 'You are beautiful. Ten years ago, I was you.'

Jaimie,
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you! Your story about the bowler really shows people still need to be educated, but I was blown away by that! I still keep you in my prayers, and am very glad that things seem to be going well. I hope there are more incidents like the lady who told you that you are beautiful!
Things are well with me...I'm working for now right in Shrewsbury. I and my family are all healthy, which is the most important thing!
Keep doing so well!
