Day 6

I'm so excited!  For the first time in 6 days today I feel like singing praises to God.  
God is good.  All the time.  He put a song of praise in this heart of mine.
God is good.  All the time.  And through the darkest night His light will shine.
God is good.  He's so good.  All the time.
I slept 12 hours last night.  My eyes are puffy and I have bed head and you know what?  I don't care.  Can you believe it?  30 years selling real estate, president of the Rosenberg Revitalization Association, president of the Ft. Bend Association of Realtors, first woman president of the Rose Rich Area Chamber of Commerce and I would never leave home looking less than perfect.  Made up, done up, and looking professional.
Once I retired and started to earn my living in art I began to relax a little and now.........I have my permission to look however I look.  No apologies.  Yay!
I am finding that in traveling it's very difficult to keep up with eating right.  I had planned to pack up  all my new foods and bring it with me but that was too difficult.  Next time I'll plan better.  My day starts with the flax oil/cottage cheese cocktail.  Since the colonoscopy, I feel like I have a big open sore in my abdomen, like the invasion may have wakened a sleeping giant.  It may be in my mind but after my breakfast cocktail yesterday, I have to say the spot felt more calmed down. 
I have had people ask if I'm going to fight this by myself meaning without medical treatment.  I can definitively say NO!  Some of the books I've read on cancer talk down about the doctors and medical treatment.  Not me.  As long as they know more than I do, I honor and respect their knowledge and will do my best to follow their recommendations.  So, I am not going to do this myself.
My first help is God.  If He's willing and I know He is, I'll be healed, one way or another. 
Second help is from the doctors.  I love my gastro, Dr. Manji.  He spends more than the allotted two minutes explaining and making sure I understand everything.  I'm sure other doctors are in my future and God is choosing them right now so that they're the best one's to take care of me.
Third is me.  It is my responsibility to make sure I do as everything I can to support my body along through this process.  Study, research and incorporate what I can.  No stress, lots of humor, walking in the sun and, whenever I can, on the beach.  I think a visit to my favorite Galveston may be in order.
Thank You God for a great day.
