Waiting....

So I just called Grossmont hospital and am now waiting for my orders to be in place as well as their scheduling to be sent for next week. It sounds like it will be all in God's timing since my blood draw is tomorrow at 9:45 am and then Friday morning they will tell me if my iodine levels are low enough to go ahead with the proceedure. It seems the hpspital doesn't get the schedule until Friday for next week.... so perfecting timing....

I am trying to get the radiation treatment first thing Monday morning or Sunday afternoon since Friday is Sam's Birthday and I don't really want to have to stay away from my Honey. That would stink.

Jackie and Bill, and Carolyn brought meals and they were great! We are so grateful and they have been so delicious! We are feeling spoiled. Thank you everyone who has been supporting us through this with prayer and meals. We are grateful!

I have really been so careful about my meals though, since I really need to have my levels low enough on Friday. Sam already cleared his work schedule for next week and if it doesn't work out it will really be stressful since there is much going on. Monday is a school holiday, Tuesday is a field trip to Old Town I think for a play and then the rest of the week is half days for school conferences. UGH! I know I don't have energy for my 7 yr old son! I think we would need a sitter every day until Sam got home.

I am praying fervently it will work out but it is God's timing not mine and HIS will, not my own.

I think I have grown already through this experience. It is showing me how I only have strength because of God and that HE alone is sustaining me and HE alone is in charge of all circumstances. I have to have faith and wait. And HE has given me peace, which is wonderful. I sleep well at night!

After all this, I think maybe I could be a personal chef for anyone with Thyroid cancer since I have almost memorized the cookbook and have been adding my own twists to it. Or maybe I should write a book on it! But I can't think about that until it is over... I have no brain.

Perfect example... I took Josh to school and placed the ipod on the middle console (inside the car). When I got to Trader Joes it was no where to be found. I spent 30 minutes looking all around the car, inside and out, and it was no where to be found. Then I went home and began calling everyone - the school, Trader Joes - maybe it had fallen into the bake sale cookie bag, or maybe Josh took it, maybe it was in the Trader Joes parking lot! UGH! I stressed for hours until Gala and I went out again to look in the truck! Yippee she found it under the back seat! Phew! That God for friends that can still think!

So thus I confess I may have been blonde before - but I am now acting blonde with NO brain cells and will probably continue until this diet is over.

So tomorrow blood draw in the am - then wait for Friday's results!
Happy Birthday Sam!

I need a nap - c ya tomorrow
