"PORT DAY"

Well - the journey starts to go uphill now. Today was a long day, but nearly done. I had a port put in today at the hospital, which will allow them to do the chemo, draw blood and other tests through this little contraption put in just under the skin near my collar bone. Kinda neat when you think about it.  This will keep the doctors from treating me like a pin cushion. I am pretty sore and a bit bruised but ready for the day tomorrow.

My blessings today-- warm blankets, having Stephen by my side all day, and my Savannah arranged to collect cards, gift cards, yummy smelling lush products, books, movies and snacks from my beloved family and friends. I felt overwhelmed with love. I cried. It was really, really nice.


Again, I thank you all for your continued prayers, I have felt God's strength, peace and especially love!!
