I've been avoiding the online world for a little while now.
Not a lot has changed as we await the surgeon appointment next Wednesday afternoon... the one that was rescheduled three weeks ago. We don't talk about it much. Whether it be worry or concern or fear or just avoidance, we don't talk much about it. We just wait.
Rob is still sleeping quite often, for long periods of time. But when he's up, he's much more alert without all that chemo raging/ravaging through him. That's good to see. And I think a little color is coming back in his hair! That's good, too!
He has been dealing with many headaches... bad ones that aren't helped with regular meds. We don't know why, and I think we're both afraid to want to know why. We just pray they don't stay.
With the exception of a few humiliating and humbling flawed-product days/nights, all is going well in our world. Life is different, but it is life just the same.
And that, too, is good!
I'm trying to finish unpacking the last of the boxes... just about there. It's the quilt room that's taking time, but I love being in there... whether it's finished or not. I don't have the cable hooked up in that room on purpose. I just watch old movies, and listen to music... to soothe my soul!
I was off work last week and had so many things to accomplish, but my list of things to help me 'chill' seemed longer than the time I had. Isn't that what usually happens? I think I need a year or two to relax and get through my piles and books and papers and projects. Or I just need less of the 'stuff.' But I like my stuff.
My daughter has had my heart, too, the last few weeks as she continues to pass out and deal with the myriad of symptoms related to (or not related to) the Chiari. Hiding my tears from her and Rob is getting harder and harder some days. But my strength is in God, and He gets me through the days. I just wish I could take away all the bad. Everywhere.
Even with it all and through it all, the peace continues to cover us.

I've been having fun buying and selling on Craig's List, and furnishing the apartment with things I need (well, that may be a bit strong) at pennies on the dollar. It's a challenge that I enjoy! Well, it's kept me busy and entertained. Doesn't take much these days. :)
Tomorrow is our two year anniversary... ♥
The time has been filled and has flown by in an instant, so it seems. Even though it has been a time of many stresses and many tears, I am happy to have been able to be together during it all. And I'm happy that he is still here with me. Even if he's sleeping. :)
I hope you are all enjoying a beautiful summer, and spending time soaking in all the beauty around you... the beauty in nature, and the beauty in the love of family and friends. You can't get much better than that!
Thank you for the continuing lifting of us all in prayer. Right back at you. ♥
In Love and Filled with Peace,
Cheri ♥
