Day 64 - Ice Challenge # 2 - May 12th
This morning when I went to put ice in my water bottle, the ice wouldn't come out of the ice dispenser as it was blocked. I had to take the ice chamber apart and dig the ice out which was caught in the dispenser. As I began to dig, my hands got cold and a few of the ice chips splashed out on my face, giving me a sensation that immediatly transported me back 64 days ago - to Ice Challenge # 1. In an instant, I was there, sitting in chair 5-C with my cooler filled with 10 lbs of ice, covered in a hospital blanket, chewing as fast as I could to keep the Chemo from giving me mouth soars. All of the feelings and fears of not knowing what was to come came rushing back to my mind, as well as the realization of knowing we have made it through hard things. I wondered how 64 days could go by so fast and yet seem so long ago.
I feel so humble and grateful to realize all of the incredible blessings that have been bestowed upon me at this crucial time. I know that my Heavenly Father is totally aware of my situation and lifted and blessed me in even the most minute details of this journey! I am thankful for a family that has rallied and given so much of their time and love to support me through this all, and for friends that continue their incredible kindness'. Most importantly, I can never say enough about my incredible loving caregiver who has sacrificed his all, to make sure I have stayed safe and healthy and comfortable. Lastly, I am sure glad Ice Challenge # 2, was just a flashback!
