MARCH 9-10 MAN PLANS AND THE UNIVERSE DECIDES

Well, life sure has its sudden surprises, shocks and changes. As I wrote previously, tomorrow, March 10, I was to start my 8-12 weeks of a new form of chemotherapy. But it seems that some infection is in my arm where I get all the blood work done, and it is swollen and hurts a lot. So before putting me into hospital, we are trying oral anti-biotics to see if hospitalization can be avoided, and my next series is on hold for the moment.So life is lived day by day, hoping for the best, adjusting to some pain. As one of my sons told me: each patient will have his/her individual ups and downs along the way. So I am working on trying to keep positive -and pushing out the negative thoughts.
That for sure teaches me that one can hope and plan, but we must leave room for the unexpected in our plans. Sometimes for me it means, just coasting along, appreciating each day, listening to my body when it says to rest more and to just 'be'.
Have a good week to any readers: hope that your time is being spent well.
