It has been a slow recovery this time. The higher chemo + a fever=me being pretty weak for the past two weeks. I finally seemed to pull out of it on Sunday. I have been taking Anti-biotics to destroy anything left over from the fever/virus that I had. They still are not sure what happened, which does make me a little aprehensive heading into round 27 tomorrow. At times I get frustrated that I am not recovering quicker and do not feel stronger. I have been dropped to my knees so many times it is hard to remember them all. Then I do remember that it has been a long two years. I have had 26 rounds of chemo(4-5 recovery days for each), a radiation treatment, 3 major surgeries, 1 minor surgery and 34 days spent in hospitals. Not to mention that I have cancer in 2-3 organs that wants to slow my body down. Then I get amazed how well I am doing. I still work, help coach soccer and now baseball, help out around the house, teach Sunday School at church, help out Tuesday nights with our Addiction Recovery group and still manage to play Good Guys and Bad Guys with Jaxson when I am strong enough. I truely believe there is only one explanation-God just keeps telling me to get up and He gives me the strength to get up and keep moving forward.
