Good news! Today I had treatment 14 out of 28. Half way done!
Bad news. This has been the worst day yet. The weekend was not much fun, except for the two hospital visitation, getting together with friends and family, and preaching one service on Sunday. A huge thanks to my son Brad for preaching the first service. Another huge thanks to my son Gabe for leading the service for Brad. (Wow, they actually can work together?!)
Somehow, most of this weekend I was able to make it through diarrhea and throwing up between appearances. But today, I had an event of that, plus an episode of trembing during my radiation treatment. It was not pretty, but the folks here at Duke took very good care of me. I saw the doctor today, and I will see him again tomorrow to see if I need some IV fluids. Need prayers, please.
Let me make this perfectly clear. I could never make it through this stuff without my Lord and my life mate. Diane is a real trooper. She cannot stand seeing me sick. And she says that the worse thing is that she is powerless against it. That is not entirely true. She is standing shoulder to shoulder with me. (except when I am throwing up. Then I prefer to be alone. :-)
It is true that she cannot make the situation go away. But we both know the ONE who can. He can do it slowly, or He can do it quickly.
Have you ever prayed, "Hurry up Lord?" I am tempted to pray that prayer. But the truth is:
IT"S ALL ABOUT HIM!
