We are here in Chicago, we are thinking of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers, your name is being spoken again and again here by many people in our circles as we join hands and hearts to ask the Lord to look after you and your family.
My dearest friends,
Thanks so much, Anne for keeping me posted!
As I write, I know that many of you are in Chicago. I so appreciate hearing from you and through Robin's generosity with her cell! I have to mention she always takes me with her in spirit if I am unable to go to one of the conferences and I appreciate it so much. It was great hearing your voices and I am sure you enjoyed a very productive weekend.
I was unfortunately dealing with my recurrence and having such a hard time with it. I was just about accepting it when news came of the sudden death of one of my mom's older cousins which was more like a second father to me and called me his "little" girl. I received the horrible news early Saturday morning, the 21st of June, and had to fly immediately for the wake and burial and to help with arrangements.
On my return flight I began feeling strange and somewhat disoriented and dizzy. It lasted a few minutes, but I have been feeling sick ever since. I felt the cabin pressure doing a number on my head. I don't have that sense of well-being. Because I have plans to travel during the first week in August, this concerns me. I have spells of nausea and/or headaches off and on.
Has this ever happened to any one of you after flying? I think it's called hypoxia.
Anyway, I will be having my MRI tomorrow evening at 7:30 and unfortunately seeing my neurosurgeon on Wednesday morning to discuss surgery, which is my best way out of this one according to four doctors.
Although I am feeling more accepting of the whole situation, I have just realized I have been recently seeking comfort in food, mainly chocolate and and junk food, which scares me and is soooo unlike me.
So, those of you who are used to seeing a somewhat "thin" Delia will be surprised.
Love you all so much,
Delia
