Six more!
Thank you for the birthday well wishes, cards and emails. I had a great birthday. Brooklyn was more excited for my birthday than I was. She called me “birthday girl” all day and before she left for school in the morning she said I could wear one of her crowns that night. She had a hard time understanding why I wasn’t having a party. It’s hard to explain to a 6-year-old that when you grow up you don’t always have your friends over and play games for your birthday. We had cake though and that’s party enough for me.
I have six more radiation treatments to go! Yahoo! My skin is now purplish/reddish and peeling. It looks disgusting and hurts worse than last week, but I can endure it. I only have 1 1/2 weeks left!
Dusty and I are going to Chicago next week to meet with Dr. Song. He’s at the University of Chicago and he does the latest reconstruction procedure called DIEP. I’m researching that this week and arming myself with an arsenal of questions for him.
The kids are great. Max and Samantha are walking everywhere. They’re so cute when they walk around the room together. They’re a little unsteady on their feet so when they walk together they look like a little old couple. It’s the best.
Let me tell you something you’ve all heard before: Don’t take anything for granted. Even the smallest things. For instance, hugs from your loved ones or holding your little ones. Through chemo (bone pain) and now radiation (skin pain) I’ve learned that even a simple hug is wonderful and shouldn’t be taken for granted. Other things not to take for granted:
Eating, hair on your head, eyelashes, driving, reading, thought processing, memory, clapping, going for walks, running, riding a bike, playing with your kids, health, cooking and the list could go on and on…
I don’t take any of it for granted.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. James 1:2-3

Okay Lindy….I still cry reading your posts! Birthday celebrations and Cancer-free! It is still utterly amazing that you have survived and thrived through all of this! All praise to the Creator and sustainer of life! Thank you for the reminder to “cherish the moment!” Keep looking for those rainbows in the rain!

I understand about the lashes. I think there was a topical drug that my mom used to promote growth in her eyelashes that seemed to work. It took a while for them to come back unfortunately. I’ll pray for your skin pain to go away. That is such a cute description of Max and Samantha walking

Thanks for the words of encouragement to show gratitude for the small but yet large things that we have or things that we can do every day. I believe that our Lord is using you as a voice to remind us all of the gifts and blessings that we all have but often take for granted. Thanks for speaking your heart. So glad that you are this far. Prayers will be said as you enter the next phase of your healing!

Thank you Lindy, for this posting. I want to be more like you - more real, more honest, more grateful. You have a heart that we all can learn from, and a life that we all can imitate. God has truly given you the gifts of perseverance and of teaching. May we be good students of the hard lessons that you and your family have learned, and may we be better stewards of the gifts and treasures God has so richly bestowed upon us. I’m sending you a hug - may it go deeper than skin and warm your heart. Love & Prayers always…

Hey Lindy… it has been tooo long. I am so sad that I missed wishing you a happy birthday on your birthday. So consider this late wish just a continuation and a way for your special birthday celebration to go on and on. Glad to see that you are doing so well. We continue to pray for you all. Thank you for the reminder of being grateful and thankful for everything. In the busyness of life it is so easy to forget. Lots of love. Tina
