Not So Bad Either

Well we sat at the doctors for a few hours today, and walked out feeling better. Well, emotionally atleast. Today was a better day for Alison. She was not as nauseous, had the pain under control with Morphine Sulfate, and ate and showered. The doctor, having seen the large welt-like swollen muscle in Alison's back, believed it was spasm related. Like the muscle was the problem and not the nerve. Alison carries stress in her back, and often gets knots, but this is a mother-knot. She also has some sensitive spots on her side, stomach, etc, which feel like they're abraded, friction-riddled, and hurt when they're touched. Those are indicators that there is some weird nerve things going on, but again the Doc thought it was more likely that it was because of the chemo drugs and not from tumors pinching things. Finally, we discussed some medication changes, and decided to do chemo this week instead of next. It just works out better, and in my humble opinion, I think the drugs need to get re-scheduled into circulation. We went from every three weeks, to a six-week break for christmas and a six weeks break to visit over Valentine's. It's time to get back at it. Don't give the cancer a chance to get back up.

God's healing Alison. He's teaching her that she has all the tools to accomplish whatever she wills. She's got everything she needs to make any change at any time. She's the pilot of her life. This cancer has been a learning point, and continues to teach us lessons.
