Journal entry by Joyce Lumley

I have not journaled an update lately. I was waiting to report a more encouraging entry. It’s been pretty rough for Bob this past week. Since his radiation treatments started, he is experiencing awful side effects. He is struggling through nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite and a horrible metallic taste in his mouth. Last Wednesday, we went to his radiation appointment but he was way too ill to take the treatment. So today, Friday, is now his 9th treatment. He will hopefully feel better over the weekend and then complete his radiation on Monday. I want to thank all of you who have given us so much support. Our mantle displays beautiful, thoughtful cards from our good friend, Stephanie.  The daily prayers and texts from my BFF, Ellen. Our dear friend, Jim, has offered to drop off groceries at our front door. And, a big thank you to my son-in-law’s Aunt Jeanne who sewed masks for us to stay healthy from Covid-19 when we have to leave the house. With this pandemic, we all have our cross to bear. Wishing everyone to stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤️
