May 5, 2023 - Normal

     The treatments come in three-week cycles.  Two weeks with lots of steroids; the third week with very few steroids.  Two days of infusions the first two weeks, just one the third week.
     It seems that the plan is to give my body some time to recover during the third week.
     I received some great advice about charting how I feel each day during the treatments.  The first two weeks were close to being carbon copies.   This week has been different than the first two.
     I haven’t written a new blog for a couple of reasons.  The Spirit hadn’t moved me.  I want some value in these or I simply won’t do them.  There’s not a lot of value in this one other than to let you know how I am doing.
     The second reason is that Monday and Tuesday I was zonked. I slept 10 hours Monday and Tuesday nights, which is a rarity for me ever. 
     Wednesday and Thursday were a 180-degree shift.  Some folks asked me how I was doing the last couple of days.  My answer was “normal.”  One response back was “normal is good.”
     Yes, it is.  I am writing this quite early in the day and it looks like today might just be another normal day, whatever that is.
     Most of the time we see normal as humdrum.  For me, normal is a blessing.  This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.
     Glad for some normalcy, at least until the next cycle begins.
