When Our Burdens Get Too Heavy

Sometimes our burdens just seem too much and you think you can't handle anymore, but I look and think of Kristy and my burden is small compared to hers. I didn't go see Kristy yesterday (Sunday), Allen went to see her. He said she is doing really great. Her mouth and throat are sore, but she is doing good. The nurses keep a close check on her, but they are very pleased with the way she is doing. I'll go over there after work today and will talk to her later this morning. She has been having alot of pain in her left arm. When is she was on the 6th floor at Masey Cancer Center in February her IV leaked out into her left hand so she has lost a lot of use and feeling in it. Everytime she gets chemo or fluids her arm hurts so they have to give her pain meds for that and it gets her a little sleepy. Then when she went to ICU right after the IV leaked out they put restraints on her arm and it was where the IV was and now she has a scar there that just never looks quit right. Now she needs the motivation to start moving around and keep her muscles strong. She gets up and showers by herself without help, but usually someone is in her room just in case she gets light headed. She is still getting fluids and lasix to take the fluid off because she swells up from the fluids. I will post more after I talk to her today and go see her.
