Had my chemo again this week. I didn’t have a great trip home. I was so tired and my head was boiling hot. I think I’m going to have to rethink driving myself! I went for reiki yesterday and by god did it cool my head down. The Recovery Haven are great. They also provided me with a counselor who calmed the brain down a little. My mind has been all over the place as I know my lungs are getting worse, but I am looking into alternative treatment. I can only try I guess.
The good news is that I am so looking forward to my Lourdes trip. I can’t thank Joe Walsh Tours enough. I am going to relax, forget all my troubles and pray for inner peace for myself and all who struggle with cancer and just daily living. oh and hopefully when I get back all the banking and insurance will be sorted. I can’t take much more stress from that.
I know I have a wonderful man looking after it, but its still a worry. I guess worrying is what moms do. I wont rest until that hurdle is cleared and I know that my daughter will have a home when I’m gone.
Anyway, the weather forecast is wonderful for Lourdes. I’ve got my back up of steroids so hopefully I will fly around and not need to be wheeled. I told my uncle, who is accompanying me, that I would be the one wheeling him! I need to pack my bags and have loads of rest between now and the weekend.
Oh! I had a wonderful dream last night. I dreamt that I robbed a bank and got 7 years lol!!! How i would love 7 years!!
I’ve been following up on the cancer coordinators idea and I have to tell you they are so common in other countries, but of course not our own. I am still researching but maybe if we had a few in our cancer ‘centres of excellence’, I would not have had to call trying to get appointment for petscan for 3 weeks!!! Yep, I am still angry. That does not go away to easily.
However, I wont let it ruin my big trip! I am going to pack my bag wohoooo! I will say a prayer for all those supporting me here on my blog. You will never know how much I appreciate it. It gives me such a spark. It encourages me to get on and do more. I’ll also pray for my family and friends. Thank you so much. I know you’re there and keep up the visits. They breaks up my day so much.
And my last prayers will go to the silent people doing all the hard work – my two friends who help me to run the blog and the Facebook page. I will never know where ye get the time but ye have your wings earned!
Lourdes – here I come and I will pray each day for each person to gain inner strength and peace. What more do we need?
