Friends are Gifts

This week was my week off of chemo. On Tuesday, September 1st, we go back and see Dr. Marschke, the oncologist. I don't anticipate any big changes to the routine. I am still doing well, but continue to be on oxygen, which can be frustrating sometimes.

I was blessed with 2 visits from friends these past 2 weeks. A week ago Friday, Brenda came over and we had a nice visit over some pink lemonade. Suzanne came over on Wednesday this week. We had little single serving hagen-daz ice cream cups. It was quite a treat. I enjoyed visiting with both Brenda and Suzanne. I also got to catch up with my friend Cindi yesterday as she gave me a massage. No ice cream, but it was still a treat. It is awe inspiring when friends take time out of their busy schedule to call up or e-mail and say when can I come over. Friends are also those to pick up the phone to catch up or send a newsy e-mail on what is happening at work. It can be lonely sometimes, so I am grateful to everybody that can take that extra couple of minutes.

God Bless all of our friends. Have a peace filled week.
