Late again

I think I must accept that I am old and slow and consistantly late writing. Believe me it is not deliberate. Please forgive me again, and Thank You to those of you who have reminded me. Time truly does pass quickly for me.

I will get another treatment on Tuesday, Sept. 30. I have continued to have some side effects that haven't been able to just "shake" after this treatment. Have had problems with muscles and joints and had to go back to using the walker. Better safe than sorry.

I did get a prescription to ease the aching, muscular pains, feel like I am getting old more than anything else......ok, so I am getting old. I am still praising and smiling and believe things are going well. I am sure I will be able to rebuild my strength soon. Have begun to walk better, and been on the deck.

Life goes on, with every day challenges and praise. Praying for Rain,

Keeping the humor in life is important and we have had opportunit to do that.

Keep smiling, praying, keep the joy. Sing I have the Joy, or The Joy of the Lord is my Strengh....

God is Good All The Time........All the Time, God is Good.
Love to all. Marlene and Roger

Sept. 9

Hello to everyone.

We have much for which to be thankful. We saw the doctor for last week's MRI results. There is a very small spot but they could not determine exactly what it was. Decided to do 3 more treatments and re-evaluate. Treatments are still every 3 weeks and I had the first of this series today. Will be Nov. before re-evaluate. We all believe continuing treatments is the right thing to do and are very thankful for the progress seen.

Decreased steroids a little more. Hallelujah!
Prayers that there will be not complications with the decrease.

It would be wonderful if reports came back totally clear without questions and treatment medications did not have side effects! I am very fortunate that my side effects are minimal. Prayers for those who are in treatment with multiple side effects.

Roger and I celetrated our 39th anniversary this past weekend. Time passes so quickly. I am so thankful for him. He is THE BEST NURSE I have ever known, and you know I know a lot great nurses! :) (course I trained him). He is my hero.
God bless each of you richly this week.
Remembering: God is Good....... All the time and All the time......God is Good.
