I had surgery to have my chemo port put in. Driving to the hospital in American Fork we were able to see Mt. Timpanogas Temple lit up for the entire end of the drive. It was like driving home, but to my home; His home. I love the temple. It is my other home. Seeing the temple helped calm me because I woke up feeling anxious about surgery. Just as we were pulling in to the hospital, Mindy texted over the perfect scripture: John 14:27. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." With the temple just behind me and the scripture in my hand, my fear left and I was ready.
I was grateful to have Bryce with me all day. I am so appreciative of him and the support he has been. He is my constant and I don't know what I would do without him.
I felt nauseous the minute I woke up from surgery. The only time I didn't feel nauseous today was when I was being pumped up with the chemo drugs, which is really backwards. I took some of the nausea drugs the oncologist gave me, but that didn't change anything. Must be from the anesthesia during surgery.
Mal and Kaylee met up with us in the execution room (chemo room) as I am nicknaming it. There are about 10 chairs in a big room, you pick a chair, and they hook you up to the drugs that hopefully don't kill you. It all kind of seems wrong. It's like a dying room, and I'm still kind of creeped out about it.
I came home and slept for the rest of the day. As I was climbing in to bed, I realized my bed was made. Still foggy from surgery, I realized I hadn't made it and Bryce couldn't have either because he was with me the whole time. And my house seemed a lot cleaner when I walked in then when I left. Come to find out, Kaylee had stayed home from work and cleaned like crazy so I could come home to a clean house. I love you Kay!!
