If there is a way to feel normal these days I would have to say that today was a day I felt the most normal! I am realizing how long those steroids would stay with me after the treatment. I am so thankful I was able to make this change so that I can have these wonderful days!
Today I walked through the halls of school feeling so good! I was so happy and feeling so good! I was also reminded how great my students and their parents are when one of the moms from my math class brought me an iced tea during the day. There are so many thoughtful people in my life and I am in awe of all the love each person shows me on a daily basis! We are so blessed by those who have sent us food! I am kept safe by all the prayers that are said for me! I know I could not have gotten this far with out them all! I love all the cards of encouragement! They are in a special binder that I look at often so that I can stay in a positive mind!
For keeping my faith strong during the quiet times I have been reading a wonderful book that takes Psalms 23 and really helps the reader to understand all that it means. It is a powerful Psalm that I have loved all my life but had not thought about its deepest meaning. I have found peace during tough days as I read it!
This Fridays treatment will be the halfway point for me! I have 10 treatments which will take me to the middle of May and this one will be the 5th one! I am looking forward to getting through with this treatment so I can be closer to the end! I am learning to stop pushing my body too far and will be taking 5 days to recover instead of trying to rush back to school on the Tuesday after treatment. I will stay home this extra day to allow my whole body to get stronger. This is huge for me because I would normally not think of myself first.
I guess you can still learn new things even at my age. :)
