Friday’s port install went well. We were pushed back an hour, so we didn’t get started until around 10. They gave me a “margarita” through the IV and the last thing I remember was being wheeled into a room with a lot of equipment. When they were finished, I woke to a loud, “Sarah!” James joined me in recovery.
I was very groggy but unfortunately for him my wits were about me, and he didn’t get to tease me! After a procedure he had a couple years back, we had fun with him because he kept asking the same things over and over. He was hoping to have a chance to tease me the same. I was tired but coherent! 🙂
We were able to leave fairly soon for our long trek home. I was more sore than I expected to be. I was grateful for ice and the pain meds.
Today it is still tender but I am able to move my arm around quite a but more.
We plan to have a family day and enjoy the outdoors!
Thank you for praying with us. We feel very blessed by all the love and support.
We plan to start chemo this Thursday (24th) morning. Right now I feel okay about this. But my emotions have been all over the place about it. Several have said this phase is the hardest, the not knowing. I feel like I am holding my breath, waiting. But also want to suck every piece of joy and life up before we go into this next stage.
On Tuesday a dear friend is starting chemo with our same doctor. Please pray for her if the Lord lays her on your heart, her name is Jean. She has been a very big blessing to me in all of this.
Happy Easter! I hope each of you come to know the saving grace this holiday represents more fully.

I love the part about being in HIS lap, that is exactly how I always think in times of challenge, and this is just a bit of a challange:-)
