It has been a week now since the surgery, Yesterday was defiantly not a good day. I felt sick, did not want to eat etc. Now, finally, I’m allowed to eat whatever I want, but everything looks blah
Today I feel better, I was sipping ginger ale thru the night (I’ve been very nauseous) I had some Gravol, but the Tylenol 3’s, I didn’t take (they make me nauseous). So I put up with a bit of pain in order not to feel sick!
Today I’m taking both again. I also had my first bowel movements (sorry to be so graphic!) No discomfort at all, so that’s great news!
Dr Frazier came in today with the news from the pathology department. They took out 27 lymph nodes, but 3 were affected. So Dr Frazier will contact Dr Harris from Grace Hospital for further treatment at the Oncology Department.
So now we have to deal with that…but I will just go with the flow. God is in control, so I’ll give it all to Him!
It’s like this: I’ve always been rather miffed when people are always complaining. Especially about the weather!! When my dear husband Ted came thru his 2 bouts with cancer, my heart was full of gratitude. Not complaint.
I remember just about 6 weeks ago, during my devotions…I was thanking God for all His blessings in my life.
I’ve been married almost 45 years to the trustworthiest, loving, and caring husband who loves me unconditionally. I have 2 sons, Ron and Paul with wives Lynne and Jennifer, who are more my daughters than my in-laws. They love the Lord, serve Him, and they have beautiful children. Then my daughter Yvonne and her husband Jason and their girls…they bring so much joy into my life.
With all the ups and downs, I could at that time not think of anything I wanted changed! Now, however, I would have liked to hear the doctor say "no further treatments!" But since that is not the case, I’ll just take things as they come.
I thank the Lord for my husband and children, my dear niece (Monica) who is more like a daughter than a niece and Family and friends, who must be taking this hard.
Thank you all for your love and prayers, for all the comments on this website (don’t I look great?? ) Please continue to pray for me, and here's a little "Truus Assignment" for you!:
Each of you take tomorrow and try to make no negative comments (even if it is –45) about anything or anybody.
Be thankful: God is worthy to be Praised.(Besides...People like you a lot better if you don’t complain all the time!)
When we first got married, Ted used to say "Give your smiles to those who love you less, and keep your tears for me."
Thanks to everyone who have sent flowers, cards, money, and meals. My heart is filled with gratitude!
Love
Trudy (Truus)
