We started a series of ten radiation treatments this
afternoon. These treatments take about the same amount of time as the previous
treatments, so not too big of a deal yet. I got a cool new “hockey goalie” mask
with blue striping on it. I had told the ladies when they formed the mask to my
face that I wanted royal blue to match O’Gorman’s school colors. They only have
white, but one of the gals painted some blue stripes on the mask for me. I will
have to see if I can get an O’Gorman Knight logo for my new set-up.
After the radiation, I see Dr. Tolentino on August 2nd
for a follow up appointment to discuss our treatment plan, some blood work, and
a treatment of a chemo called avastin. I get to do all the fun stuff.
Margaret and I had a nice bike ride this morning. She
challenged some geese along the bike trail, but they only hissed at her. We
rode about 7 ½ miles today. We try to get 10 miles in, but time had us limited
today. It was a beautiful cool morning to ride. I sat on the back patio to read
some scripture this morning after the bike ride, and a male red cardinal landed
on the chair 20 feet from where I sat. He popped up into tree and sang to me
for a while. He was once again my little sign that God knows I am here and what
I am going through.
We all need to pray for some rain. Get out there and look
for God in nature and in your fellow man. You probably won’t see any sort of
vision or apparition, but God is everywhere if you look for him. He had a hand
in all of the beautiful flowers we have, the wonderful trees, and the blue
skies. He could have made everything black and white with some gray, but He
knew you and I would like to see the colors He made for us. Enjoy the day, and
thank God for every day that you have.
