20 More To Go!

We had a good Christmas despite some illness that ran through our house.  All the kids are healthy again and Dusty is enjoying his time off from work.  He’s been able to spend time with an old friend who came into town for the holidays.

I’m starting to get a skin reaction to the radiation.  It looks like a sunburn and hurts just a little bit.  Not enough to complain about.  My skin is a little numb from the surgery which I think is a blessing.  Otherwise I’m sure I would have more discomfort than what I do right now. 

The muscles on my right side are still tight, but I’m almost back to full motion thanks to the exercises from physical therapy.

Aside from the fatigue, life is slowly returning to normal.  I have 20 more radiation treatments to go and then a six month reprieve until reconstructive surgery.  I look forward to the hiatus.

    20 sure does sound like a lot. I hope that this will go quickly for you and your family. I will pray that the reaction does not get any worse.
    Hope you have a wonderful New Year(it really couldn’t get any worse than 2009, could it?)! Enjoy!

    My prayers for you continue. Every weekday morning I see your home on the way to work (around 7:00am) and I pray for you. I pray you experience the compassion, tenderness, strength, healing, hope, joy and peace that flows from the presence of Jesus as He wraps Himself around you all.:)
