Hal stayed home today to take care of the kids, get our house back in shape, and let me rest. What an awesome man he is.
Well, I didn't realize this before, but the recovery phase of radiation therapy may actually be more difficult than the radiation itself. I'm having a very difficult time getting enough nutrition and, therefore, enough energy because I cannot eat anything and the nutritional drinks sometimes make me throw up. My nose and throat are very tender and bleed a lot and my skin is burned a bit.
Even though I know I have a few tough months ahead, I feel very blessed to have such competent doctors and state-of-the-art facilities here in Logan. This would have been so much more difficult even a couple of years ago. I would have had to drive to Ogden every day and who knows what I would have done with my children.
I know the Lord is aware of me and my family and the struggles we are going through. He sends me messages of comfort in so many ways and I am so grateful for this.
