Day to Day Matters 

Scripture of the Day

 Isaiah 53:5

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we were healed.

When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer, there were so many things to think about and address. First, I had to tell my husband and then my children and family. Then in the 25 days from diagnosis to surgery, the day to day things were decisions that I had to make in attacking this disease. 

Once all of that was done and the all the decisions were made, I had to get on with my life. I had to find a way to "keep on keeping on". I had a job as a teacher and I just couldn't stop. Simple things like laundry and grocery shopping still had to get done. It was sometimes hard not to crawl back into bed and let someone else do it. I did have help in my husband, but I just couldn't hide and wait for someone else to do it. 

Added to the simple things, I now had to keep track of doctor's appointments, think about nutrition. I  found this article about managing your day to day life. There are several things on the list that really never occurred to me to keep a watch on and maybe I should have. There also things on there that my oncologist kept track of and I either did what I was told or discussed the necessity with my doctor.

If you are making this journey as I am, may God bless with His healing touch. I know He loves you.
