I need my angel wife ... more than I thought

Sat Dec 6th Ok so I lied. I didn’t do very well with Julie gone. I thought I would be ok and to be honest, physically, I was ok. But mentally, I broke down. I called Julie halfway through the day and started crying (dumb huh?) and told her I needed her to come home tonight instead of tomorrow. Of course she said she would and I immediately felt better just knowing she would be here. Justin did a great job of taking care of me and there was no real reason that Julie had to be here. In fact she didn’t get home till after midnight, but it didn’t matter. I needed her to just be here. I think I got a small taste of what she felt when she thought she may have to go on without me and I didn’t like being without her. It was not fun and I told her she could never do that again….lol.

3 days waiting.... no bad stuff yet

Wed. Dec 3rd Waiting for the downturn of the chemo experience and it never comes today. Feel absolutely great to be honest.

Thur. Dec 4th Same story. Still feel good

Fri. Dec 5th Still feel good. Julie and Katie decided to go to Salt Lake this weekend. It will be a good test to see how independent I can be. Justin is here with me though and I have lots of people I can count on. I am really doing good.

Round 3 in IV Therapy pretty uneventful

Tues Dec 2nd Went in for chemo. I am getting used to it so Julie went to work while I just laid in the chair and did my chemo thing. Pretty uneventful. I did meet some neat people there though. Tim and Liz were a neat couple that had some neat stories too. He found out he has colon cancer and his chemo is different and he goes in every two weeks instead of three.

Special prayers work

Sun Nov. 30th When Bro. Jennings came to bring the sacrament to me I was feeling really good so we talked for a while. I was really glad because he told me why I did so well with 2nd round of chemo. Neither of us knew it at the time, but we pieced together that on the Sunday before, the Elder’s Quorum and High Priests group had a special fast and prayer for me. I am certain that my ease with the 2nd round was a direct answer to their fasting and prayers.
