Me: Morning!
Pam: Good morning
Me: ..stupid COVID
Pam: I know Johnny was disappointed too but I try to look at it this way... maybe it was Gods blessing or protection from something. I just had chemo last Thursday. It’s a lot for me body to endure.
Me: Thats true. I wasn’t too crazy about you having surgery so soon after chemo. Now you’ve got a couple weeks to get stronger.
Pam: I know so this gives me a week to rest. PTL. I have a colonoscopy next Wednesday and echocardiogram on Thursday. 9 th an 10th so this week I plan on resting.
Me: I just hate this!!
Pam: Me too! I was hoping to get this week an next behind me, chemo on 17th an then one more chemo on Oct 8 Now this puts everything 2 or more weeks behind so it will be late October before I’m through. But the end is in sight.
Me: Sometimes I think it would help me if you just lost it every once in a while and started screaming obscenities at me. I know that sounds stupid...but it’s true. Its all so unfair. I don’t understand why God is allowing this to happen to someone like you. I know that God’s ways aren’t our ways and all that but still...it makes me angry.
Pam: Lol won’t happen not my nature. I believe something good will come of it one day. I do a lot of walking an talking to God and that’s how I hold myself together.
Me: Maybe there’s a reason I got involved in this...maybe he’s trying to teach me something. Who knows?
Pam: You never know. I agree why in the world would you an me be talking every day for over a year. Eventually we will know! I appreciate you an all you have done more than you will ever know!...On a lighter note one of my neighbors brought me an Asian pear cake last night. OMG!!! I bet I ate 3 pieces last night while slicing it to be stored in a Tupperware container.... already had a slice this morning. So I am headed out for a morning walk to try and erase some of the damage I have done to my body. Happy Monday my friend to God be the glory! Great things He has done!!!
Me: THAT’S IT!!! That’s why the surgery was cancelled!! So you could get the curative powers of Asian pear cake in your system!!!
Pam: 🙌🙌so I should eat more??
Me: YES! Oh..and you’re a pig. Three pieces while you were cutting it up??? Oink!
Pam: Yes horrible I know. We never have cake in our home. Johnny is a type 2 diabetic. Sugar feeds cancer too so I never make them. Love cake, pie, ice cream, milk shakes anything bad I love it.
Me: Well, that may be true, but when was the last time you had a neighbor show up at the door with a plate of asparagus?...“Here, I know you’re battling cancer so I thought you would like some vegetables!”
Pam: LOL! Exactly!!
And, just like that, she’s off to battle another day. She will go for her walk, talk with God, find her bearings, and keep grinding.
