More Sleep, Less Hair

I cannot wait for the day that my body returns to a normal state. As I have discussed, my body becomes fatigued so easily. Last night, I got home from visiting a family friend around 8:30. By 8:45, I was out cold. One moment I was sitting in bed watching t.v.- the next I was sleeping. Then, today, I got home from church. After eating some lunch, I was sitting in bed watching basketball. Just like last night, I fell asleep within minutes. Maybe I need to avoid my bed as much as possible during the day. Anyways, this just isn't normal!

My hair is still bugging me. The nurse explained that I would begin feeling a prickly feeling on my head when the hair starts to fall out. I guess the feeling comes from the hair follicles falling out. Well, I have definitely reached this point in the process. When my head rubs up against the pillow, I feel like porcupines are rubbing against it. The feeling even occurs if I wear too small of a hat. You have to experience the feeling to understand what I am saying.

Tonight, I met with a group of friends who are working on a fundraiser to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in my name. In the coming weeks, I am sure that you will hear more about this event. Right now, we are looking at a golf outing followed by a dinner/dance and silent auction. We are in the process of ironing out the details, but it is our hope that we are able to raise a good amount of money.

Tonight, I was reading through Ephesians. While I have read Ephesians a couple of times, I never noted or highlighted much of verse 6. I think several parts are applicable to overcoming adversity in life.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
Ephesians 6:10-15
