UP AND DOWN

Early this morning before the change or shift, I walked with a nurses aide. I was feeling stronger. I had sat up in the evening holding my PEG in place so I wouldn't lose any liquid which was being fed from above. I think it worked. I had a good day writing, sitting up. I was holding on to the PEG to be sure the Chemo made--about half an hour. Fell asleep and discovered the PEG was leaking like a sieve. Transport was here and we had to frantically get me ready to go to radiation. This one was short. The first one was long with many light, and lightning bolts. I had to pack towels around me, so I wouldn't leak. Also, I hadn't been suctioned, so I prayed that I could stay still and not cough or something. God answered my prayer. What the answer to my dilemma is unknown as of today. Tomorrow, I'm sure the doctors will try something else. I feel confident that I should be able to walk and regain my strength and still be able to get my nutrition. Meantime, I'm trying to help keep this down by staying still. God is still on the throne. His ways are inscrutable. I am at peace. I'm where God wants me to be. That is enough. I pray God's blessings on all of you who read this. If you have a prayer concern, please let me know. I have plenty of time to pray.

Love to you all. Alice
