Another week has passed. I am that much closer to being done. Thank God!!
I had hoped to teach on Thursday and Friday since my counts were up on Monday. But as it has been with my body, the weird thing it is, they were down on Wednesday. Thankfully though, they were not down nearly as low as they have been in the past, so I was able to go out a little bit! The nurse hesitantly gave me the ok to teach on Thursday, but I didn't take her up on it. Since the weather has been so goofy here, I didn't want to risk being around students/teachers with colds. I figured that I could hold out until Monday. It was rough though, I was climbing the walls at some points during the week.
Yesterday's blood test results still were down a little bit, thus I am having more shots over the weekend. By Monday my white count should be up quite a bit....at least that is the pattern my body has been following. I was kind of down about those results. It is just so frustrating to not have any control over something so pivotal to being healthy.
I was able to meet Judy, Laura, Michelle, and Stefanie (my teammates at school) for lunch at our Friday staple, Taco Bell. Seeing them and hearing about what was going on at school definately boosted my spirits. Thanks gals!
This week has been an other example of how God has challenged me to rely completely on Him. And He has made sure that I know that He is in control of my life. I can make all the plans I want for my life, but if they are not in His master plan, they aren't going to happen.
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9
