Finally Getting Better!

Went to the doctor today, and the sore is healed Yea!!!! after all this time we are going on the fifth month. I am still walking with a cane and I don't have a lot of strength, but I haven't had a lot for a long while. I will go to the pool and walk 3 or 4 days a week and that will help me gain some. I was just getting some when all of this started, and now I think my heart isn't up as good as it was before the surgery, by that I mean I 'm not able to walk as far as I used to be able to if that makes sense. I will gain it back by the end of the year I am sure, it just takes WORK. I am not the best person to exercise, but I will try to do more strength ones and walk in the water. I need to get back on a good healthy eating program also, I just haven't had the heart to go at it along with all of the rest I was dealing with. I haven't really gained any weight, but I haven't lost a lot either, about 5 or so lbs. I hope to get working on that next week or soon. I just need to eat healthy and not so much sugar. I feel lots better when I eat less SUGAR wonder why that is????? Could it be that it isn't really good for any of us. All kidding aside I truly don't have the joint aches when I eat less sugar. I cleaned all of my kitchen drawers and my kitchen pantry before Megan got here on Thursday night, and it is wonderful to have them straight and I can find things again. We had everything scattered and messy none of it where it belonged, from all of the good help of people not knowing where to put things, Ed helped a lot but the Cinnamon got to the cabinet over the stove and the pepper was over in the baking cabinet. I am grateful for all of the help I have had from everyone I have things organized again phew! So it is all okay . I truly am grateful for all that he does to help me, I couldn't get it done now without his help. He always changes the bed for me and vacuums the floors, and sometimes he cleans the kitchen and bathroom floors. I still have a few Christmas things to put away and I want to sew some things for little Elle soon. We have most of the sewing room clean and I need to organize my materiel's so I can find what I want to work with. You can tell I feel better as a month ago I just didn't have the energy to do anything, and was happy to get a meal on the table. Ed did most of the dishes in the dishwasher and emptied it also. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and the knowledge that I have that I am His child and I know that He takes care of us all. He is helping Sherry also as she is doing well at this time. She is done with the radiation and is still doing the chemo twice a week. She is using the kind you take by mouth. At this time they are somewhat optimistic that she is getting better. The frontal lobe cancer she had and the surgery she had really worked for her. Some people with that surgery are left with memory problems and seizures so she has been blessed. We are blessed, the doctor said he had a patient that just came in that was experiencing some re-growth of his cancer and it had been 3 and a half years, so that is good news. In the beginning they said she would be lucky to live a year. I pray she has more time, we all know that she is terminal, just don't know the time limit. But I guess none of us know what the time limit is really do we? We just have to live on Faith. I love all of you and so enjoy reading your posts on the blog, as it makes me feel close to you and know what you are thinking, doing and feeling. I am happy you like the Little Nellie Posts and I will try to do a few each month and when Amy gets down here again maybe she will help me post some pictures of those times. I do enjoy the memories and recalling those times.
