1 more month

Just saw the doctor yesterday and he has given me 1 more month to rest - reason being that the WBC is still low and it has to get back to normal range or higher before I can start with cycle 2 of Vidaza. He is obviously confident that I do not need to "rush" through the treatment and I can wait for another month. (We need to pray for the WBC to go up, it is at 2.44, normal is 4).

For me this is good news since I feel alot better without medication/treatment, my body gets stronger and I do not feel so tired and I can do more in a day, and my mind is more active.

I have been enjoying cycling at the East Coast Park and hope to try other routes. I am very conscious that I cannot afford to fall and am really careful to do it safely (don't worry, Paul is really very vigilant and without his permission, I won't do it). Cycling in the early morning - it's wonderful to feel the cool breeze in my face and take in the sights - the greenery of the trees and the shrubs, the beautiful multicoloured bougainvella, the shimmering blue sea etc. We are so blessed to be able to enjoy and experience GOD's creation.

I am learning all the time - that GOD shows His grace to each of us in different ways and according to our needs. I may not have the blessing of "perfect" health but GOD grants sufficient grace to me, enough for me to be thankful and experience a feeling of blessedness.
Remember to bless one another in this way - as Apostle Paul do all time as he ends each of his letters. "The grace of the LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit." It is truly wonderful to experience GOD's grace! Amen
