We woke up bright and early this morning to take may Aunt up on a breakfast offer. Home cooked pan cakes with real maple syrup, bacon, eggs, orange juice and hot chocolate. YUMMY! That said, all I could manage to eat was the bacon. I really do hate this whole changed of taste thing. It really screws with my social life. Nothing tasted good today except water.
It was an awesome time at my Aunts house. Little man went roaming around her new home. I foresee him having many fun times there. They have a tree house, pool, quest room has a loft….good times in store for any kid. The best part is??? They finally live close enough for more visits! (they just moved back from across the state) I always had fun spending time at my aunts house as a kid. I hope Elliot gets a chance to do the same.
After my Aunts house, we finished our christmas shopping. I am officially done except for one tiny gift, that is a quick pickup. Im so glad to be pretty much done. After shopping we ended the day with dinner at my parents. WHEW…. what a day.
You would think with not really eating anything all day I would be hungry for dinner….wrong. I thought I was going to be sick. I even took nausea medicine before we got there. I couldn't eat. Once again all I could get down was water. Now? Im eating Cool Ranch Doritos just fine. Nothing else even sounds good. Go figure.
That said I over did it today. I came home and went straight to bed. This is my 11 pm wakeup with doritos. Luckily not nauseous anymore, but still have a headache. My legs are weak and shaky from being up all day and eyes hurt too. So there is my update. Had a blast, but paying for it now. :)
Cassie, it is hard to have words for you. But I hate to read your post and go on with my day not letting you know I've shed tears for you. I have battled cancer for 3 years, and HOPEFULLY, I am done now. I have a small spot in my lung they are going to start following now to make sure it isn't cancer. I want to believe it won't be, but as you well know we don't always get the news we want. I've had 2 reoccurances where the scans were not good...again. I don't tell you any of this to pretend I know how you feel, because I do not. My mind has certainly wandered to where you are...full of 'what ifs' and desperate pleas, but I am not there for some reason. And you are. I can tell you are working to embrace this news with all the grace and beauty in the world. Your husband taking you out to see the first snow is a sign of his character as well. I will pray that you can live each day as well as possible, with joy that only can come from Christ within. May He carry your burdens and wipe your tears; cradling you and your shattered heart at each step of the way. You are beautiful!
