This fall has been unbelievable, there is just so much sun! I found myself outside today every chance I got. I followed the sun as it inched off our front patio, like a cat, curled up letting it soak into my back. The ultimate heating pad! I am now sitting in a meditative position on my front lawn with the sun striking my face. Feels amazing!
I have been struggling with my nutrition. I'm the girl who claimed she was going to juice, juice and more juice! I am nauseas most of the time which makes eating in general difficult! I haven't been very good about eating veggies lately, shhh don't tell my brother. He went home for a few weeks to take care of some things but plans to come back in a week for a longer stay. I need his influence! Did you know he tells me how and why each vegetable is good for me when I eat them, how encouraging is that! I feel like my 4 year old!
I have my second round of chemo tomorrow, so I need prayers for getting through the day. I have plans to get drained before. The drainage is proving to be more nerve racking each time and I had a bad experience last time when I switched to newport hospital which is closer to home. So I need prayers for my anxiety.
God bless!
god bless you, dear girl....
ReplyDeleteI hope tomorrow goes well and is easy for you. Glad the New England sun is shining for you!!!

When you feel anxious, try to remember the feeling of being in the sun, and let the healing energy flow through you.
ReplyDeleteI am Celine's friend from Canada, and I will send calm and healing thoughts your way all day tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteLeah Peah,
ReplyDeleteYou are constantly in my thoughts. I am glad you are finding comfort in the sun. I know that feeling well.
Love Always,

Dear Leah,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to spend some time soaking up the healing sunshine!
We are keeping you in our prayers for whatever your needs be.
Luv u girl!
I love the sun. Soak it up!! Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and praying for you Leah, and your family! Also wanted to pass on that a friend of mine battling aggressive cancer took colostrum pills (bovine colostrum-excellent for immune issues and very gentle) and drank Seal Aloe, did very well, and swears by them. Comfort and strength to you~ Lynda
ReplyDeleteWarm sweet Leah,
ReplyDeleteYou make me think of Ray Orbison and Leeeeeeaaaaah... great song, great woman. I am happy to hear your words and sense a little smile coming through. I am sure I'm not the only one who was concerned when a bunch of days rolled by and we had no Leah fix. I was worried and concerned and had lots of stuff to say and questions to ask. I'm slowly coming to realize the phenomenon of blogging and it's limitations as well as the nice sense of community it provides. Perhaps it gets easier with time, but on a personal level it can be difficult for some of us to share thoughts or feelings, or words of encouragement, concern, whatever.
Enough. My sister is French and into all of the homeopathique remedies; my brother is also a health food/supplement advocate; my sister-in-law a Tufts nutritionist and co-author of a book about diet and cancer (or something like that)-I've never read the book and can't remember the title. So many opinions, so many strongly held beliefs. I am frequently bombarded with helpful suggestions and stories for my wife's condition. I'm grateful for my family's concern, but I try not to be distracted and confused about which way to go. One day at a time.
We're pulling for you Leah. When you feel awful, know that WE feel down. But, we're also investing a lot of faith and hope in your winning this fight. Hang tough adorable girl, mom, wife, and friend.
Please keep up your writing--even if just a sentence or two about how you are, how you feel.
Thank you!
Leah,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing okay with your chemo round this week. And I hope they were able to properly drain you in Boston. My heart goes out to you for your Providence hospital experience last week. I hope you never have to go through that again.

Hi Leah,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing as well as you could be. I've been thinking a lot about you lately and saying extra prayers. Sending positive, vegetable filled thoughts your way! :)

Have a sun shiney day! That sounds like a Brady Bunch Song! Hope your feeling a bit better this week. I heard through the grapevine that you were feeling a bit stronger. I have been listening to some Christian Music lately and it always brings me back to thoughts of you and your fight! My mom would be so proud of my music choices LOL shhhhhh don't tell!
