I wasn't ready for Thursday night!

Staying upbeat and positive, even with the pressures of the negative so close, has been pretty easy for me over the past 5 months. But last night it wasn't. Honestly, it was the roughest night I had experienced since the diagnosis. We are not sre why but have our theory. It was a wonderful, full and active week and I might have just pushed it a bit. Having my family here, doing too much each day, trying to eat like a teenager, keeping an active pace, all probably pushed my body a bit too much. So Thursday night the gremlins went wild. And Friday morning we kept battling. I did overcome by noon and had a wonderful day with Megan and Kayla and Katie bringing dinner over, which was absolutely delicious and we had a great evening. All that last week, added to the return to Chemo probably just was a bit overwhelming and I just had to learn to regulate medicines and my time. All in all, it sounds like I'm doing much better than my friend Joe, who took a good smash to his eye that brought on a number of stitches and seems that he was mighty lucky that his guardian angel was on duty and kept it from being much more serious. Prayers for a speedy recovery go out to Joe. Tonight has been a calm and normal night and I think I'm past the rough part. I did have a CT scan on Thursday and I was a bit uptight about that too so that probably didn't help the overall mental well being. I get the results from that on Monday when I see the doctor and take Chemo again. I can't help but want them to find some things are different, or smaller or just plain gone. This gives God a chance to show where He fits in all this. I will say tho, that even with how hard Thursday night was and early Friday morning, it was bearable be case of the constant input from all of you through comments, calls, prayers and best wishes. Thank you so much for that, it really does boost me past some hard times. And for that you are all loved and God bless you all.

Mike,
Please, just reread your blogs and you will see how God is "fitting" into your life each day. You are teaching us all how to enjoy the many simple blessings we receive daily. His grace is all over you and you're letting it pour out to all of us. Thank you. You continue to remain in my prayers.
Love - C
