I woke up around 3:30am this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. Unfortunately I woke Scott up so he was up for the day.
I find having a shower seems to wash my energy down the drain. I tried to push through so I would sleep through the night, but think I pushed a little too much.
I am beginning to learn how to give myself Neupogen injections. I have trouble seeing me stabbing myself :-)
Thank you to all the family and friends who have been so supportive. You are a great encouragement. We can't tell you how much your prayers mean.
Tomorrow will be a big day for Scott as he heads out around 6:00am for a hospital conference in Barrie for his dad and then to the retirement home to clean out the room. Please pray that a space opens in a nursing home close by soon.

hi Joy,
Was in the bookstore yesterday and your co-worker was asking about you.
...sorry dont know her name.
i found that the easiest place for the injections were my tummy, the fatty area////it was the least bothersome there.
heard you were doing the leg.
if you are you allowed to use the tummy area, try it. might be abit better

Hey Joy! Julia joins you in this unpleasant experience as she gets the leg injections too. Unfortunately that is where you have to have them. Julia isn't fond of them either. She says it burns and she has pretty much the same side effects. I hope you have a good day on Wednesday. We have learned to take one day at a time, one good moment at a time. God sustains us through all times. I keep you in my prayers

Dear Joy,
This is where the rubber meets the road, isn't it? We either trust the Lord completely with our difficulties, or we give up and believe that the love of Jesus is just a sham. I know that Ted and I believe the first part, and trust Him to bring us victoriously through our troubles. I believe that you feel that way too! I know Jesus loves you, and has a wonderful plan for you (and us too.) Hold your head high dear sister. Accept all the help that is offered because sometimes others really NEED to help you, and in that way, it helps them too. Be strong, be brave and trust Him as you've never trusted Him before. We love you, and pray for you as often as we think of you.
Love,
Thelma
Hi Joy;
May the Joy of the Lord be your strength is my prayer for you and may His presence be so real to you as you keep your focuss on Him who will never leave you nor forsake you. Thank you for letting us live through it with you in these updates. Scott and you are daily in our prayers and we sent you both our love, Don & Johanna Bernard
HI Joy:
I was soo glad to see that you are blogging. It is good that we can be praying more specifically for you and the family as you update this blog. I came across a poem, which maybe you've already heard, but I wanted to post it here. Bram and I are praying daily for you.
What Cancer Cannot Do
Author: Unknown
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the Spirit.
We Serve a GREAT God.

This is a season of resting and receiving from the Lord and His friends. He wants to show you His heart during this season in your life. Be prepared to be lifted up and encouraged. Isaiah 30:15 is a great verse. We love you both like family. I send you God's blessings today. Sharon and Warren and kids.
