I promised I would keep you informed of my progress in the treatment of RA as it involves chemotherapy. Well, chemo is chemo. Why did I think I could sail right through this with no extra bump in the road? But if it makes me feel better I am more than happy to spend one day whining and lounging around feeling guilty that I' m not being productive. Then A line in Father Merchant's opening prayer came to me (paraphrasing) "if I am called to do nothing, let me sit quietly." How difficult can be in this hectic world. For some off us a takes a dose of "chemo" to sit us down. Let's be more aware of our body's and soul's needs and sit quietly.
So far I have seen no changes in the symptoms of RA, but then I realize I am 29 years older than when I had treatment for breast cancer. It takes more time for everything. Right, my fellow seniors? I have realized that in most instances I can do almost everything but in a lower gear!
Continuing the gratitude challenge I want to say how thankful I am for my Memoir Writing Class. They raise my spirits and give me goose bumps with their wonderful writings. We are an eclectic group who spend two productive hours together every Wednesday morning. We travel the world, with different ethnic backgrounds, religions, life experiences, laughter and tears but we do it with respect and admiration for one another. It makes for a great week!
Thanks for reading my ramblings. Your comments are welcome.
