October 12 Final Update

I’m still hurting. I had my last Neupogen shot this morning. Tomorrow, if my white cell count is good, I’ll get a treatment and then a Neulasta shot Saturday morning.

Then I get two weeks out of jail.

Next Monday I’m going for my CT scan and we’ll see if I’m making measurable progress.

I spoke to our pastor last night about a healing service along the lines of James 5:13-14.

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

I only recently became aware of this passage and thought, why not give it a try? I sort of feel like I’ve been nickel and diming myself with chemotherapy. It’s time to bring out the heavy artillery. You don’t get much heavier than asking for God’s help.

The pastor said that he’s only done a couple in his career, but if I wanted him to do it, he’d be honored. I will ask him Sunday and see how quickly I can take this step.

I also feel that I should not just ask for a small improvement, but ask for a complete cure. If God can create the whole universe, in which we live why timidly ask for small improvements? He can just as easily do the whole enchilada. It doesn’t mean He will, but it is certainly within His power.

On the dog front, the Vorlon Wife found this little guy. At 11 Lbs, he’s not much bigger than a big cat.

Right after lunch, I quickly went downhill. I started to hurt all over. I took 400 mg of ibuprofen and went to a client site. The ibuprofen didn’t touch the all over body ache. After leaving the client site, I came directly home and rested.

Now I’m ready for bed.
