Monday starts another week of radiation...she didn't want to go today; she wanted to stay in her warm cozy bed. I don't blame her, I wanted to too. The cancer center is so good at taking her in right away. I don’t think we ever had to wait long. Usually by the time I park the van she’s already in with the nurse. Mom was out so fast; the boys didn’t even have a chance to finish their math.
There are two “door greeters” at the hospital. Steve is funny, always cracking jokes and being sarcastic. At first mom didn’t like it but now she’s warm up to him and is sarcastic right back. I can’t remember the other guys name, he’s more serous, and maybe mom can get him to smile.
Mom’s been waiting for me to get my Christmas decorations out so she could get in the spirit. So I brought most of it out and set nearly all of it up. It took me from 1:30-9:30 p.m. and then mom was too tired to come down to see it. She’ll see it when she comes down in the morning.
The days seem mundane. I want a chance to have some deep open discussions but mom sleeps a lot and according to this book I’m reading, I have to look for the signs from her to have those conversations. Am I wasting precious time, am I losing opportunities or do I need to have more patience’s?
I know that God is not a God of confusion, which only comes from the god of all lies. I am praying for discernment.
Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and He turned to me and heard my cry.

HI Tara, Well she finally got you to get the x-mas stuff up. Did you have to get into the garage to get them? Maybe if you start off with a simple question she might follow up with an answer for you, one baby step at a time. Are they doing more intense radiation on her yet? I noticed how sleepy she was on Saturday almost doopy. Are they giving her any type of mediacation that relaxes her to the point of sleepiness,or is the radiation taking so much out of her?I sent her out last weeks newspapers and I think I'm going to suscribe the Mosinee times for her for a nice X-mas gift instead of what I gave her already. Take care of yourself also, if you need to get away on the weekend for awhile call me i'll come mary and children and dog sit for you. Love you Aunt Sharon P.S> Let me know how much the tumor shrunk allready when you ask the doctor Wednesday.
