| 2016 ParkWalk - Sheila Strong |
Just wanted to quickly share out how I've been doing.
I've had quite a few ups and downs with work, and have been struggling with some other things. I've been struggling with post cancer depression and have had multiple anxiety attacks. I know most people will not understand, but for whatever reason I just feel like I have to have cancer somewhere and I just have to find it.
My headaches were getting more frequent. In December, the fingers in my left hand kept going numb and I felt lots of pressure in my upper left arm. I went from diagnosing myself with carpal tunnel, to having lymphedema, to having a heart attack. Early January, I went in to see my oncologist and told him I was going crazy! He ensured me that I wasn't, but did suggest that I start on an antidepressant. They also did a head scan for my headaches (which came back clear), and also had me start back at physical therapy to work on my arm.
Overall, I do feel a little bit better. I did 4 weeks of physical therapy and have been trying to make more time for myself. I've been heading to my "Beat Cancer Bootcamp" once a week and am hoping that I continue moving in a positive direction.

A week ago I went to a Casting Crowns concert in Milwaukee with my friends K8 and Jessy. We had such a wonderful time and it really is uplifting listening to K-Love radio (christian rock). As I'm driving in the car it is so cool to have my kids singing along with me and praising God. He truly has been by my side throughout this whole thing and somedays he knows exactly what I need to hear. The last song of the concert Unspoken, Danny Gokey, and Casting Crowns came out and together sang, "Glorious Day".
May we all remember what sacrifice Jesus made for us, and truly how blessed we are!
Until the day he returns or calls us home, may we all praise his name!
