Journal Entry for August 27, 2008 Mood
Wednesday, August 27, 2008

Aug 27 2008 I get so tired of being sick... I worked 10 years without  missing one day of work...funny isn't it how things change.. my labs have been so low Dr had to postpone chemo untill next week.. taking more antibotics the area around my port is inflamed...hope I don't get diarrhea this time... Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep... if I should die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take... In Jesus name amen...So thankful for his love. Today I was thinking about Thanksgiving last year.. It wore me out to cook dinner that day I found it strange as to how I felt... looking back now I know.... Para protein level is cancer marker for MM in your blood the more protein the less there is of me...lol...Dr stated when I was first diagnosed I showed as 90% para protein that only left 10% for me.. how can that be an I still live? I've studied alot about Myeloma looking for an answer learned about the different blood counts the constant all over ache in my body caused by the MM ... how I can't breathe good if my hemoglobin is low because it carries the oxygen to my body.. and when I start to yawn alot it means my blood count is low and I need oxygen I don't even need a blood test to see if my hemoglobin is low I can feel it  I can't breathe...

    You can do it.. I did. Just passed my 1 yr mark yesterday. Having all my tests redone to see where I'm at. Rather anxious about the outcome...
    Dear God wrap your loving arms around Nanc and give peace and understanding..In your name I pray ..Amen

    I love your new pic of your litle duckling. I love to hold a baby duckling...so soft, so sweet. I'm really sorry that you are sick. I have you on my prayer list. My brother says that he will begin his transplant for MM on Oct. 2 of this year. I feel blessed to know you. Sending love and strength to you...God bless you my friend.

    Hi Nancy! I hope you get some relief soon, I hope you feel better for this Thanksgiving. MM seems to have no regard for boundaries...I'm understanding more about my husband's constant pains from everyone's comments, especially yours today...I'm starting to understand this more.

    Please take care and be kind to yourself.
    Love
    Muriel
