So, over the past few weeks, since we got back from the Philippines,
I've been thinking about a lot of stuff. Being in the throes of cancer
also tends to get the mind churning overtime.
But
lately, my thoughts are centered (or maybe uncentered would be more
accurate) on such a wide, diverse number of completely unrelated things.
It's hard to arrange the jumble in to some sort of noticeable order, so
that I can share it with any semblance of sense.
I've
been through a lot. Obviously. I've been through the wringer and dragged
my family along with me. In fact, just a few days ago, I asked Amy (not
Amelia any longer; she will be nine next month!) if she even remembered
back before I had cancer, and she said no, she doesn't. She can't
recall a time when I didn't lay in bed all day with pain, asking for
someone to come up and bring me food or help me in other myriad ways.
Maybe that is why she is such a great helper.... She just thinks it is
normal for moms to be in bed all day while the kids do the work (and
whatever else they want to as long as it doesn't include chores or
school).
Another thing I've been wondering... does anyone even see this blog any more? Who still checks in here? And why? What are they/you looking for? Are you lost? Or are you still checking on me and this cancer? Comment if you will and let me know, wouldja?
I still check in! Always thinking about you and praying for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tristan!! I think of you and your kiddos often also. "Baby" Mason is in our prayers often, although I am sure he is a big kid by now. :) Blessings!
DeleteI read your blog and am grateful for the updates! Keeping you in our prayers. Love ya, Suz (even though when I select Publish, Bryce's name appears. Hmmm... he must have a blog...???)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the note, BC, I mean Suz! ;)
DeleteHi Jenny, Ogi and I just returned from Cebu. We met your friends Richard and Ann there. Ogi had some pain relief, but still has pain. The electroacupuncture machine shows no cancer, but everyone seems to be in limbo. Call me if you get a chance.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear the EAV says no cancer for Ogi, Kevin. We are just about half way through the wait for my next MRI. Excited to confirm those findings and be done with cancer forever. We will keep in touch.
DeleteI've been checking in every now & then! I was just over on the SCM Forum, and your name popped into my head, so here I am! I will read all about your Philippines trip next. Still praying for you!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue! Thanks for stopping by! So good to see your name come up here!
DeleteHere! I noticed your absence on Facebook so came over here and saw your February post. Now I check here weekly so I can keep tabs on my best Alaskan friend. You are never far from my thoughts.

Hope you and Nat had a smashing birthday on the 24th, PF. I thought of you guys all day, and if my math is correct, I do believe you now have a teen girl in your midst. Oy! Better you than me, although mine is turning 12 in two days. She never fails to mention that she will be a teenager on her next birthday. Ugh.
Deletewell I guess since I have known you for 30 years (Hmmm) - that is not something you throw away. I check this post (since I haven't been on FB in years) to see how you are doing and praying for you and ALL your family. Mazel Tov on beating the odds. rob
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Unca Wobbie! I think of you and alllll those boys often. How are you? Where are you? Thirty years is crazy, huh? Would love to catch up with you. If you comment again with your email, I will not publish it here but will send you my email and we can discuss how those thirty years have sailed by so quickly. ;)
