Fisherman's Prayer: I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast,I then most humbly pray, when in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep that in His mercy I be judged BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP!

Not so hard

Well I have completed day two of the low iodine diet. Its not so bad! Yeah its really restrictive and I am wanting all kinds of things I can not have but its easy to stick to it because I know in this case it is a matter of having cancer or being cancer free..what a motivator! I am not looking forward to the weekend though, thats when I have the hardest time counting points and sticking to things and this weekend its going to be worse because we are going to Kansas to see family. Granted my mom and my mother in law are both going out of their way to have on hand the things I need which of course make me feel bad, I hate it! I know they are doing it out of love and support for me but I hate that they have to go buy things they will probably never use again and spend money that they neither one have on me, makes me feel so guilty! I am sooooo looking forward to going home to see my mom and my dad, I start crying everytime I think about seeing my dad. I havent seen him since I was diagnosed! as well I am looking forward to seeing my mother in law and grandma! Grandma searched all day today to find a cake or cookie recipe that she could make for me that had no eggs or dairy or salt in it! God bless that women! Yeah she is technically Bruce's grandma but she is mine too! Thank God for her one more reason to show how blessed I am! Well I have been running on fumes most of the day, every day gets harder and harder I am so tired, but the good days are just around the corner, on that note I am going to bed!
I am Blessed

Your dad will probably cry when he sees you also. I am excited that you are getting to go home and wish we would have known earlier we might have tried to get back there. Although that many people back at one time can be overwhelming. Enjoy your time with your family and Bruce's family. Cool how you have a new grandma-that is such a blessing in itself. I can't wait to see what you think of the DVD that I made your mom and I wish I could be there when you both see it. We love you.
