You know, I have so much time in my day and yet I still never seem to get anything done. I do have some excuses for that though. My body has slowed down so much and everything takes double the amount of time. This past week has been especially hard. I won't say that it has been easy. Mom and I have been trying to go for a walk every day around Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford. Before I was on chemo we were able to go twice around in about 40 min. and now takes it me 40 min. to get once around having to stop at least 3 times. :( That is how slow I am. It's pathetic. 

This past week has actually probably been the hardest. Having my hair fall out. Crazy dizziness. I had two really bad nightmares that freaked the bejeebees out of me. My blood counts were lower than normal which made me really weak. On top of that I'm now a bunch of skin and bones and the dietitians are worried about me. 

Now to try and look on the bright side. :) Hallelujah!! Phase 1 of chemo is done. Phase 2 starts in 2 weeks. I get to slowly wean myself off that horrible drug called prednisone which makes me have chubby cheeks and last but I'm sure it is not least, I get to have a bit of a break before the intenseness of phase 2 starts.

This picture was taken a week ago already but it gives a bit of an idea of what I now look like. Today it is quite a bit thinner though. 

I do have some prayer requests: 

-that I would have restful sleep and that I would sleep straight through the night. 

-that I would gain weight. I am eating a lot but not gaining anything.

-that God would give me the strength I need to go through phase 2 which is going to be quite a bit more intense than phase 1 was. 

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
