They’re Fake...

I saw this shirt a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t resist! I’ve found that humor has helped a lot the last few weeks. While obviously this situation is anything but funny, it definitely helps to try to find some humor along the way.  As I’m here again, in this window of time feeling sick to my stomach again worry as I wait on the test results to come back to determine the next steps, this guy arrived in the mail! So funny! I can’t wait to wear it proudly one day, with my actual fake ones, instead of these awful expanders. But I had to put it on today and try it out and I love it! Lol! It definitely made it easier to say goodbye to them when I knew they were trying to kill me! 🤣 I’m still recovering pretty well. My range of motion comes back little by little each day. My physical therapist I’ve seen has helped so much with this and I just love her. I get to go again tomorrow so that’s great! The nerve stuff is still crazy and hard to describe. Sometimes it is a burning, sometimes a zap type of feeling, sometimes itchy. It’s not so much of a hurt, just much more uncomfortable at times than others.

This weekend was busy with Avery’s first softball tournament on Saturday and an impromptu trip to see Garth Brooks. Some friends got some tickets for free and invited us along and it was amazing! We had the most incredible seats. Thankfully I was feeling pretty good that night. I decided if I end up having to do chemo, I might be too sick to do stuff like this for awhile, so I might as well take advantage of it now. I moved slowly, but otherwise it was great! There was a lady in the audience that had just finished up chemo for breast cancer a few weeks ago. He talked to her and played a song for her, and the entire stadium cheered for her. It definitely hit close to home and was pretty powerful. So glad to be there for that.  Sunday we got up and went to church and then I’ve been resting pretty much since lol! It took a lot out of me but it felt amazing to get out and feel a bit like a normal person. So that’s where we are. Things are going well and I’m doing my very best to try to stay calm and find some peace as I wait on this test,  and just trust in God’s plan for me for whatever comes next. I definitely do better with this some moments than others, just ask my poor husband lol! Please continue to say some prayers for good news, low risk test results and no need for chemo. Thank you all so much. I know I say it every time here, but there are just truly no words to explain the gratitude I have for all that people have done...from the prayers, meals, cards, gift cards, flowers, gifts, etc. I just can’t thank you enough. 💗💗

My new shirt! If you can't read it, it says: They're Fake (the real ones tried to kill me)

Ready for Garth Brooks..with a pocket full of Tylenol! 

The three little people that I will find this SO hard for. They were looking cute before church so I had to catch a quick pic!
