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!

Radiation and other news

Well its done and official. I am radioactive. I swallowed a very large blue pill at 10am this morning! For the 48 hours I have to remain totally isolated from everyone. Then after that for the next 4 to 6 days I have to maintain a 6 foot distance from anyone. Blaze and Gunner keep whining at the door and it just breaks my heart to listen to them and not let them in the room with me. But its for their own good if only they could understand that! So today the oncologists tells me that loosing weight right now will be impossible! I thought for sure with this diet I am on I would loose s good amount but he said not to count on it. Not only that but he said it will be weeks if not months before the meds I start next week will be in my system enough to even make weight loss possible! That is sooo frustrating and dissapointing! I know I have to concentrate on my health and being cancer free but loosing weight is also my health right now so its hard not to just let it go. On the good note he did say that once I was on the right dosage of Snythroid and my levels were back to normal with good diet and exercise weight will not fall off but WILL come off probably easier than people with normal thyroids because he is going to keep my levels low as opposed to normal! But thats months away....and all who know me know I am not patient! Lord please grant me patience!! Even though I am complaing and depressed right now I know it will all turn out good and I will be cancer free and I will loose weight because I am blessed! Just having the patience to see it through right now I am struggling with!

I'm Blessed

First of all NEVER pray for patience until you are READY to learn it. God uses tests to teach us things and I have always been told that if you ask for patience you better be ready to accept the challenge. Second of all, My Grandmother Pinkerton has been reading you blog, she got it off my site and she doesn't know how to leave a comment so she asked me to tell you that she is thinking about you and she is sorry you are undergoing a hard time but she is so glad they caught the cancer in time. She wanted to share one of her favorite vs which is this to in time shall pass. Hang in there Shelly. I think God led you to your church in TX to stregthen your faith in him before he started testing you with Cancer. You see he has been there all along and was giving you the tools before you even knew you needed them. Have solace in the fact that while you are isolated you are NOT alone. Be still and know that he is God. Cherish this time by yourself to pray and spend some intimate time with him. Most people would love to have the opportunity for life to slow down jsut a bit, maybe try looking at it from that perspective.

We love you here in TN
