Journal entry by Donna Berry —
1year, 5 surgeries, radiation, 2 falls, 1 black eye, 2 sore teeth, a mild concussion, 7 stitches, walking bent over using my dad's cane and I think I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel!! God has been so good blessing me with the family and friends I have. Bob has lived (every day) the vow he made 57 years ago; 'for better or worst' and this year has been one of the top of the worse of the worse! I could never have done this without him, he has truly been my strength everyday!! I can't imagine my life without him.
I woke up about 10 days ago and was able to stand straight and walk without the cane. Slowly gaining strength back, trying to do more every day. We've had good friends come and stay and right now our Nephew and family are with us on their way to their next military assignment. So, slowly, my life is getting back to my new normal!!
Do I still have bad days, of course but I believe the worst is behind me. Now trying to adjust to the cancer meds but even they are getting better. I am so thankful to God, my family and many very special friends who have walked this walk with me......I couldn't have done this without them!!!!
