Raining

Matthew 5:44,45 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. In the words of Jeff Manion, "It doesn't rain in squares." This verse helped me when I was initially diagnosed with cancer, you know when you ask the famous "why me?" question, I had to turn it into "why NOT me?"  And because I like my hair, now I am asking it again. My hair is raining too, just like the weather outside. My little quiet unspoken hope that maybe my hair would stick is not to be. Luke says "Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
Okay, moving on. My new blood pressure medication seems to be helping. So far my numbers are down 15-20 points pretty consistently. Not in the all clear area yet but getting there. I have been exercising consistently also so maybe that is helping. I have been eating orange food a lot this week, that is supposed to help with my immunity system and my white blood cell count. I feel good, yesterday was 6 weeks after the surgery and my arm is starting to get more feeling back, less of the numb, falling asleep tingling feeling. My range of motion is good, I am doing stretching exercises to keep the right arm moving. I need a quiet weekend with no germs so I can go to the cancer center on Tuesday and receive the next round of chemo. 
Prayer requests? I would like to stay healthy so the chemo can go as scheduled, every three weeks. Our food schedule is coming to an end, and I think that's okay, as Al really enjoys cooking and my appetite has slowed some. Each week now will be food focused on helping my blood counts so we may need to swing into and out of certain food groups to adjust for that. Thank you all again for your prayers.
