Never Underestimate The Power of 'One'

Purple Ladybug (that's me) believes in the strong power of 'ONE'...one person, one smile, one hug or ? All it takes is 'ONE' thing to happen during your day to change the way you feel, it may be amazing or even heartbreaking. We face many 'ONE's each and every day, so join me as I take my future 'ONE' day at a time and write about my journey as a cancer conquerer and the 'ONE's in my daily life.

Day 440 - 'one' more week

My autumn front porch.
I'm trying to be patient really I am.  Letting my body recover from the last type of chemo recipe is taking longer than I want it to.  Silly me figured out that within a week I would be back to normal.  I mean really? My body has been in endated with all sorts of chemicals over the past year and I think in one week it will all be gone and I will have my brain and body working at 100%...boy talk about having your head in the clouds! 

Sometimes having my head in the clouds is a good thing.  Too much reality can make me grumpy for sure.  My in-house dr...
that is Dr. Ray, insists that I take another week of rest before I start down the detour road on my journey.  I seem to be utterly exhausted by early afternoon.  I try to nap but my brain is going 100 miles an hour in the middle of the day and I find it difficult to turn it off.  I must re-read my meditation chapter on clearing the brain and focusing on the moment.

such a small list of pills
to take now...woohoo

The planning for my new routine is starting to come together.  My search for a clinical trial that I would qualify for has barely begun.  I need to get in contact with the Cancer Society of BC or Canada and get my name on the list for anything new coming down the wire.  I need to learn more about the medical terms and diagnosis I have been labeled with, so that I can understand my situation more and be able to communicate clearly where I am at and what I am searching for.  That sounds easy doesn't it...nope ;-)  Just what I need to do, learn a new language.  Should or could be kinda fun though.

So as the sunshines on the garden in my side yard and the blue sky surrounds me with all it's glory I will continue to look forward to learning more, getting stronger everyday and meeting new people who may be able to help me fend off the growing cells inside me.  Darn you cancer, you have arrived without an invite and that is down right rude!  LOL  Enjoy your day because it is exactly that...'your day', what will you do with it?

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey.
