I'm Still Standing
Happy Easter!
I know I haven't blogged much since my eyesight has become difficult, but here's a quick update:
I started radiation last week on the sinus cavity tumor. So far, I've had 5 treatments out of 15.
Don and I probably aren't going to go to Hugfest. I'm not sure how well I could handle the trip, since I am some difficulty with pain. I have nerve pain that shoots down my sciatic nerve when I sit in the wheelchair for any length of time, and I have really aggravated my right shoulder with all of the pulling I have done while my legs were weak.
And here's the kicker: I've been having nocturnal back pain again. I am absolutely terrified that there might be another spinal tumor. I will have an MRI as soon as it can be scheduled to investigate.
I won't lie to you. Things are really hard for me right now. There are a lot of urgent decisions to be made, and some of them are excruciatingly painful.
Please pray for me and keep some happy thoughts handy. Hopefully my next post will bring better news.

Dear Sharon,
As a fellow LMSr, I read your blog often. I'm sorry your pain is recurring again and that life is very difficult for you right now. You are an amazing writer and an inspiration to all of us to sieze the moment. I'll be praying for you.

(((SHARON))) a big hug for you and also sending lots of love and prayers. I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. We are all thinking of you.

Prayers going out for you. I am sorry you are in so much pain.
Your courage, honesty, and passion for life are truly an inspiration. Wishing you and your family the best.
I'm hoping the MRI comes up clean and alleviates your fears. In the meantime, reach out for help, love, a touch, a smile.......ANYTHING that can bring you some calm or relief. Think soothing thoughts whenever possible, even at the toughest moments. Good, good luck dear Sharon.
Hello, Sharon. I had the pleasure of meeting Josiah a while back, and he was an awesome guy.
I know perhaps what your older children are going through.. having grown up and entered into adulthood all while watching my father's health be destroyed by cancer.
He outlived every prognosis by years and years and was considered to be miraculous by his doctors.
He spoke of "everyday courage"---how much courage there is in accomplishing everyday acts.
I am grateful that you are such a strong and courageous woman, and that you have such a huge loving family to be there with you through this. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.
