Having had a lot of sleep and rest yesterday, I was up early today. It was a fabulous day! Many, many people called to ask after my well-being. To each and all, I remarked that I was doing amazingly well. I have heard from others who take Reliv that it strengthens the body so that you don’t have nearly as much pain as you would have had for any kind of medical event.
The pain where the tumor had been was minimal to non-existent. Where the sentinel lymph node had been was pained and swollen all day. I continually put ice on it and took aspirin. I refused to take the more strongly prescribed medicine as it, Viacodin, leaves me feeling extraordinarily depressed even after a short time.
The left side of my throat had a stretched, tight feeling. I assume this is where a breathing tube was placed during the operation just in case anything went wrong…. During the day, I did get a little wobbly if on my feet for too long so I stayed on the couch reading, napping and talking to friends, etc. all day.
The Lord does talk to us through the scriptures and I could have no greater witness that I am rid of the cancer than that of the passages I was strongly impressed to read this morning. The chapter was 3 Nephi 17. I knew that to be one of the chapters describing Christ’s visit with his people in America but I couldn’t have told you what the content was beforehand. How incredible it was to read that this was when, after Christ had finished teaching the large crowd for the day, he invited the sick to come and be healed:
”Have you any sick among you? Bring them hither and I will heal them for I have compassion on them… I see you have sufficient faith that I should heal you.”
In a couple of days, a new month will begin. How shall I make it different from the stressful life I’ve been living? How do I incorporate the daily doses of ‘time for me’? How do I live as close to the spirit as I have been as I get back into the swing of things?
Many questions! I know there are answers.
