you ladies are sooo funny! Just love ya!
I will be sending my vibes out to you all at 7am my time and I hope we all can feel each other's support. I am waking my kids up early and taking them with me so we will have 4 of us at the image on our knees praying. The image is on display at our Parish in Scottsdale adjacent to the Kid's school. They will be visiting the image as a class at 10 am, but I get to go alone at 7 for the protection shift.

now that I am re-oriented, how are you Torigirl? I know you are about at your time for the chemo to start with it's poking you. I am hopeful that this round will be easier, that you will have a better idea of how to manage any SE's. Praying for a gentle week for you, plenty of rest, fluids, and for you to have medicine at hand for any side effects. May Jesus keep close watch over you with your Angel.

Paula the story re your sons reaction When he started into a seizure, only answer Divine Intervention. I'm humbled even hearing it. If your mind can't focus on the info for the test--- chemo and anesthersia chemicals interfere with processing. If no one has told you that. I hate to be the one , but it may be a good idea to put off the test. If you can take the test as many times as you like without having to redo any work---go for it. Ughhh I hope I didn't bring you down, but it is better to know that there is a physical reason for you feeling like your brain isn't working right. It's the drugs.===paula same advice as SQUID have your doc check out lump.
So michelle tomorrow at 10 am est time, is the time I should say the rosary -yes? PST is 3 hours behind the opposite coast
Squid can't remember if I commented on your Angel story. Lovely.
Tori prayers for continued good experience with chemo
Patpagowens Thank you for your story and many Blessed years to take care of your grandson.
10 am ok I can do that---L&H sheila

Pat,
I really appreciated your post, and specifically about anger. This is not any easy thing to say (at least I don't find it easy.) But that's again, where faith becomes important. How hard it is when things don't happen the way we want, the way we think they should? I have at many times been very angry. Here I am wanting to desperately to be a Nurse at the bedside, helping others...devoting my life to a profession that was always in my heart. then having it be denied because of injury. Then the misdiagnosis...well, angry would be putting it nicely. Honestly, going through what I did before, the many surgeries, the days and nights of pain...well, it made this easier in a way. I'm still scared at times, other times it's just about doing the best I can knowing others are in the same boat as well. So I just didn't have any anger by the time BC came around. Tired? yes. I derive strength from others around me, and know that I am not really navigating this ship. So I guess we all better put on our life vests and watch the sun rise together over the horizon.

Traci- (and everyone else who's been checking in on me and saying prayers!)
You are too kind...thank you for asking about things. Husband left this morning and I was teary eyed as he drove away as it all came to hit me at once...that he would be gone and I would fall apart at the littlest thing out of the ordinary thing that "may" come up.
Today was pretty good though. Managed to make it out for my morning walk and once again lifted you all up in prayer during my rosary. Came home and finished up a load of laundry and laid down. Got up and did a couple other things and laid down again. I tried to run an errand, but I did have a bit of nausea and dizziness, so quickly turned around and came home and got that under control.
It's too quiet in the house..that will be the maddening part...glad I have my 2 fur babies with me though..they give me good lovin's and know whenI need it the most.
I'm thankful today went well...now, off to day three...just hoping and praying all still goes fairly well.
I'm looking forward to praying with everyone at the same time tomorrow morning to Our Lady of Guadalupe...I know we will be blessed...
Sleep well everyone,
Tori

Tori,
Just take it nice and easy, K? I know I clobbered myself a few times during chemo, and you had a busy day. Just being overly protective, sorry
I will visualize you surrounded by Angels, safe and protected. Do the same for yourself, if you would. Visualize Angels all around you, around your house and one more time in a perimeter beyond your house so you have three tiers. Ask for their protection and love, and for them to stand guard over you and your home and ask one to accompany your Husband on his trip. See you in the morning.

oh, and Theresa, I loved your explanation of Holy Spirit, especially the feminine and nurturing quality. Excellent and it made a lot of sense the way you shared it. It's a total keeper, and I'm sure I will be looking back at it many times.
Thank you so much for sharing with me

Thanks Sheila ~ I will check with the rad onc.
I know I have my Angel story to tell...
When I was very young around 6 or 7 years old. My parents went on a trip and my 2 siblings were home watching me. I'm the youngest of 7 children but there was a 10 years gap between my sister and I. My brother was #4 and he was about 4 yrs older than my sister. They were always jealous of me and would bully or give me a hard time whenever Mom is not around (you know the story). Well, one night, instead of staying in the room next to my bed until I fall asleep, they have decided that I needed to grow up and not need a sitter there. I should be able to sleep by myself and not be a spoiled brat. Being able to see and hear things at a young age had let me to be terrified to be alone at night. Nothing I could say or beg would change their minds. I was very very terrified and not being able to sleep at all. Then I realized that I could pray and ask God to send Angels to protect me. (Most of the time, I did not how to deal with a situation but the thought of how to deal with it came to mind, as in someone giving me the idea) So I got up and knelt on the bed and solemnly prayed with all my heart and sincerety and asked God to send me his Angels, 3 of them. Don't know why I needed 3, but that was the idea. And believe me, within seconds after I finished my request, I felt warmth around me and I sensed my guardians came, it was instant relief. For the first time, I was able to fall asleep on my own and felt protected. It was like a mental tortue that my siblings did and Lord God answered my urgent call and came to the rescue.
Have a good night and sweet dreams.
God Bless!

Paula,
Lovely Angel story.
I too had the same reasons for not being able to sleep alone, and wished I had the wisdom you did. I guess it's never too late
God Bless and Sweet Dreams.

Our Lady of Guadalupe,
According to your message in Mexico
We venerate you as the "the Virgin Mother of the true God for whom we live",
The Creator of al the world, maker of heaven and earth.
In spirit we come before your most holy image which you miraculously imprinted upon the cloak Juan Diego, and with the faith of the countless numbers of pilgrims who visit your shrine, we beg you these prayers: to be generous, self sacrificing, faithful Marian Cathechist all the days of our lives.
Remember O Immaculate Virgin, the words you spoke to your devout client, "I am a merciful Mother to you and to all of your people who love me and trust in me and invoke my help. I listen to your lamentations and solace , all your sorrows and your sufferings."
We beg you to be a merciful mother to us, because we sincerely love you and trust in you and invoke your help. We entreat you, Our Lady of Guadalupe, to grant our requests, if this should be the will of God, in order that we may "Bear witness to your love, your compassion, your help and protection." Do not forsake us in our needs. Amen
Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.
