June 5, 2012 - love someone today

June 5, 2012. In 1942, the Battle of Midway raged in the Pacific June 4-7. It truly changed the tide of the war in the Pacific early on. This morning, I woke up in lots of pain, a little bit more than usual. I lay there in bed, praying, listening for birdsong and detecting the faintest smell of fresh-brewed coffee. I haven't gotten to the point of keeping pain meds in the night stand as Kristi recommended, but I think that's next. Update on Friday's adventure: the nurse from the Sunbury Urgent Care called with the results of the culture from the abscess on my toe: MRSA. The one time I go to another salon for a pedicure, I get cut up and infected. So, cindamycin 300mg three times a day is added to my pile of meds. Has a reputation for causing ridiculous diarrhea. Here were go with the balancing act again. Once again, I am humbled by the efforts my former patients have keeping their meds straight. It's difficult...even for me with all my education and training. Today I will be finishing up my lesson for small group meeting Thursday night. That's interesting and makes me feel like I'm using my brain. Friday is the Relay For Life here in Sunbury. I have been asked to be the Honorary Chairman. I hope I get to say a few words. I want people to know that I believe that my cancer has been a gift and that the changes in me and those around me have been more than worth the physical pain and discomfort. I want to run up to total strangers and tell them to love people. Say what must be said. Some will respond, some may not, but you will have done your part. Low seventies forcast for today. I hope I have enough energy to take the pups outside later and work a little bit in the rock garden. I wish you all a blessed day. Do something nice in secret for someone....I'd love to hear about it.
