It’s been a very difficult week, but I find ways to keep my spirits up and my mind busy. Preparing for treatment to start … I remember what it was like and how I felt. That’s why we are preparing so well for this go round. (Going so far as to have an actual room built. LOL)
Bit of a “Stomach Attack” (that’s what I call them) Sunday/Monday, and I was in bed all week. If my hands were not on a piano or organ keyboard, I was lying right here in my little sanctuary 24/7. Short Version — one of my doctors (who is not my stomach doctor) suggested trying a little bit of solid food for a few days. I did so. Disaster.
I’m looking forward to playing the Easter Service tomorrow. I’m resting all day today and I’ll get up early to take my meds and let them fully kick in so I’m going in as strong as possible.
As far as keeping my mind busy, one of the things I have been doing is stocking up and clearing out my digital entertainment queues — Prime Video, Netflix, Audible, and Kindle are the main ones. I came across this movie and thought, “Well, I’d watch anything with Maggie Smith, Laura Linney, and Kathy Bates in it. It’s on Prime if you’re interested.

That’s about all that’s going on. I’m seeing the doctors on Wednesday for a chemo & radiation planning session. This whole being-seriously-ill thing really slows down time — it’s very bizarre.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter service and a better week ahead for your stomach. Enjoy binge watching things! XOXO -Chrissy
i confess i understand what you mean about how time slows down in times like these. When Hub was treated for prostate cancer it seemed to last forever.
let us know how Easter service went. i think music is anchor in times like these. feeds the soul kind of stuff.
i am glad you can build a room.
it is really hard when one doctor who is not your specialist suggests something… …i am sorry that happened to you, because when stuff like that happens it feels like a such a step back.
binge watching — now that actually makes time fly for me. i keep clicking next and the hours just fly by!!

Hope the Easter Service went well and didn’t tire you out too much. So sorry to hear you had a bad week leading up to it. Binge watching (or listening – audio books are my usual binge!) is definitely one of the best time passers so I hope you find lots of good things to watch! ❤ Hugs!! Peggy
