How Much of the Universe Can You Hold

When you spread your arms wide,
stretching as far as you can,
Trying so desperately to expand your life beyond yesterdays reach,
grasping at straws,
open . . . open . . .
more
how big can you be?

Each struggle places another demand on an already overextended soul,
boldly hanging on with all ones might
Victory is just beyond the horizon,
waiting for you to take that very next step
into the expanse that seemed completely unreachable just yesterday

Take action,
move forward
Cry out like a bird in flight
Defeat is not an option
You have all you need for victory within

When you spread your arms wide,
How Much of the Universe Can You Hold?



So Barbara had another chemo treatment this week. Because of her sensitivity to the drugs and the extreme side effects she had the previous two times, the doctor thought that she should try to take steroids prior too, during, and for a few days after the treatment. Well it worked. No side effects. What a relief. Hopefully now she will be able to get on a schedule of more than once a month treatments. This way we can finally get this over with. It has been stretching out way too long.

Next challenge. Her doctor is leaving Sloan Kettering and moving to Philadelphia. Can you believe this!!! One thing after another. Now we have to wait and see which doctor the hospital decides to move us to. We have requested a specific doctor but have been told the head of the department will make the decision. Seems kind of strange. Rather than react to quickly we will see what happens. But ready to fight if need be.

What do you think? Let us know.
