Feeling better!

Praise God! Today I think this treatment has turned the other direction! I didn’t feel great, but I felt so much better than I’ve felt since Friday. I didn’t get around to napping this morning, but I went to bed right after lunch because I was afraid of crashing later. I never slept. I was reading my book and never got sleepy. The phone rang 3 times, so it would have waked me even if I had slept, but I was so amazed that I wasn’t tired enough to sleep! After I got up I cleaned out a chest in our bathroom that has make up and hair stuff in it. I won’t need those things for a while, so I got them out of the bathroom and filled those drawers with bandage equipment. Things sure do change, don’t they? After that I repaired a shelf in our closet and a chair in there! I was just little miss fix it today and it was so fun to be doing some things sort of normal. (Don is the brains in our house; I’m the fix it person. Last week when I broke that chair he told me to throw it in the trash. My mother wouldn’t let me throw anything in the trash; my dad would want me to fix it!) All that fixing required lots of using my fingers and I was really surprised that I could do it! My neuropathy pain has been a 7 and I’m ranking it at 6 today. It was at 9 last week when I went to Houston and I carried my hands like they were burned. This is so much better and I’m so giving thanks!

You can look at today’s picture and tell I’m feeling better. I really couldn’t whip out a better picture since Saturday. This FAC stuff just whips me, but I think I’m on my way back to feeling good. I thank God for keeping me whole and for all the support He’s given me through my whole life.

Count the blessings with me. We don’t have to get the numbers right; they’re too big. What matters is that we recognize how much God gives us; how great He is and how gracious He is. Wow!
