Well, got the results of my latest CT scan and the sad news is that there is absolutely no improvement in my metastasis. In fact the places that were hot spots are more numerous and the sizes have increased. This is something that I now have to deal with emotionally. I now have to be very aware of my shortcomings: the dizziness, unsteadyness on my feet, low energy levels, lack of hunger, and weakness. I spend about 5 hours a day sitting with my back massage/heating pad and this helps immemsely. I've been crocheting like a mad woman because this is something that I can do safely and it gives me much pleasure. Thank God my vision is cooperating for now.
Right now I'm in a transition period, just finished 2 very potent meds which had very strong side effects, so we'll see what symptoms will remain after this. Hopefully I'll loose my total insomnia and be able to get back to working on my doll houses once again. Meanwhile I spend lots of devotional time reading inspirational journals and listening to my spiritual music. I'm still planning a trip to Washington for a family wedding the end of July and then I get to fulfill a long time dream to take the sleeper train with my little sister down to San Diego where I'll be spending a couple weeks until my next class reunion enjoying my childhood home. My vision is to take a week long nap while she is at work during the day. LOL I'll be working on my life journal during this time. This is something very important to me to do for my family.
The final highlight of my vacation is to meet up in San Francisco on the 11th with the next crew heading out to sea. Can't wait!!!
When you think of me pray for peace, strength, and God's healing powers to keep me strong and extend my lifetime way beyond whatever the doctors could predict for me. I still have so much to accomplish. .
