This is Sarah, typing for my mom tonight!
Getting a little better today but still made friends with my same cozy spot on the couch all day long. Was blessed to have a visit from a dear friend of mine, Andrea, most of the morning.
My afternoon consisted of dozing off and on. My little stubbly head needs to be shaved again soon, but still finds its way gravitating to the pillow all too easily.
Water tastes metallic and my interest to stay hydrated is lacking.
This evening I had another lovely friend, Holly B, pay me a visit. It's been far too long since I've seen her sweet face so I was glad to give her an extra long hug. It's amazing how God works. I feel she was placed to work at Dr. Henize's just for us to meet and be kindred friends. I could talk to her all night long.
I suddenly got a cheery phone call around 6, from my most favorite, beautiful daughter in the world saying she was coming over to visit and stay the night. I wish I had more energy for her but am glad just to have her here. She gave me cut up apples and peanut butter and rice cakes with a little butter. Although my diet may be bland, my company is grand. Thankful she understands and can do most of the chatting anyways. I hope to feel better in the morning to have more energy to spend with her. Although she did not recognize me at first, she got a lot of enjoyment out of playing with my bald head. Said it reminded her of those naked cats and was extra reflective!
Shout out to Matt, Julie, Eric, Brooklyn and Liz! Thank you all for your sweet sweet words of encouragement, prayer and strength you sent my way today. Looking forward to the visits ahead with some of you.
Ending the day, "chemo brain" takes its hold making me feel exhausted. I have such a good husband that gets all the things I need. When my energy is so low and I can do nothing but lay lifeless, with my eyes closed, I just point at what I want/need and say "Garson" and my good hubby laughs, gives me kisses and hands me what I need. I apologize for not being able to do more and he just envelopes me with his love. Much like Christ's love for us.
P.s. Sarah got way too into this blog therefore "fluffing" it up more than usual. Enjoy... :)
