Update on Mary


Oh what a day... was Mary's latest [2nd] chemo infusion

I should start by explaining, just how it could so-easily, have been a whole lot worse
and yet, we are home and Mary is 'still here'
As the chemo was finished up, the nurse set up a glucose drip "to flush the vein"
~to ensure the chemo was well and truly out of the vein and in-circulation
When then, Mary's asthma was triggered and so a doctor was sent for
~to check her out
Mary found it hard to inhale and felt her legs were unresponsive [weakened]
We eventually left the hospital and in the car
Mary used her courtesy mirror to examine her face
and determined that her eyes were saying just how tired she had become
There were several occasions on the way home,
when I wondered whether I should return her to the hospital
But Mary kept saying "just get me home"

We know, that the chemo affects the nerve endings
~makes them more-sensitive
consequently, messages to the brain are exaggerated ridiculously
and even a gasp of cold air can shut the larynx and make breathing difficult

This experience has Mary saying: "if it happens like this NEXT TIME I wont have it again"
Her previous asthma attack was in 1999 and she was in hospital for 3 days
~with the warmth of the infra red fire and a hot grain bag on her throat,
Mary was able to tell me, that she feels "a little better"

David and Maggie called [phone] three times [that night]to enquire 'how is she doing' ?
We will have-to wait and see

Now Saturday, and Mary appears to be more 'her old self'
Her legs still ache [but, not so bad]

Just FOUR more infusions to face up to

On the 'positive side' Mary is able to cope with 'more-solid' foods now
but still avoids, boiled potatoes, chips and, bread that hasn't been soaked, in soup

I'm sad to read what Mary has to go through and at the same time I'm inspired to tears at what a fighter she is! Keep on keeping on, Mary, you are truly an inspiration to me! You are both continually in my prayers!

"My Mary, is a 'little-lamb'
Her fleece as silver shows
We each have our 'cross to bear'
I tell her, "Darling, 'Jesus knows!'
just 'what it is ' we wear"

We walk, 'our walk' as best we can
and struggle while we might
and place ourselves in Jesus' hand
that we might live, [forever] in our Shepherd's light"

You both are always in my prayers and thought.
Gosh, what a strong lady Mary is, she is going through so much, yet, she is fighting it, her strong will and your love and our Lord is surly keeping her going.
Bless you both.

[angelwind]

We are quiet in here....but maybe people stop by to just....stop by...LOL

 

[davedajobauk]

... yes, He saved-me too!!!

 

[angelwind]

Amen Dave...His salvation is a daily blessing.

 

[davedajobauk]

I just read this on MSN

Georgia faces 'catastrophic' storm


Lord have mercy

 

[angelwind]

I know parts of the east in the USA are having severe cold...but I also read parts of the UK are flooding...extremes are everywhere.

 

[davedajobauk]

Yes, the south of England, is having MORE THAN a fair share of, H2O

I have often wondered
'why' ?
~in these days, of water-shortages, they have not
dredged the rivers and streams that feed them
to enable them to carry more water away
'why' ?
they have not set up WATER MEADOWS, in the lower-lying areas
to ADD, to our dwindling arable land 'stock'
'why' ?
they haven't constructed 'reservoirs' to conserve more fresh-water

I know full well, that at times of full tides
excess run off will not get away to the sea
Therefore, I see sense
in containing the excess if, for no other-reason than to prevent
water-suppliers, extracting from sewerage contaminated water-courses

◠‿◠✿ Hello my friends ◠‿◠✿

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and soul,
He will provide for you, and He will take care of you
no matter what happens, after all He's your dad who loves you Eternally.
So if God sends us to walk on hard paths,
He provides us with strength and means to do it…!!!

Amen ◠ ‿◠✿

 

[angelwind]

Amen to that Dave.

 

[angelwind]

I made it ti Bible study today....2plus hours of hearing and discussing Mark 14...sone of Jesus's last hours on earth....very wonderful to be part of something like this.
