Time for another post

     It is Monday, July 8, 2019 and 40 years ago, I was living in Venezuela, SA with our family, Kathy, Ruthie and Agustin.  I was visiting my parents here in Lynchburg, VA for the summer while I was very pregnant with our son Paul who was born July 12 (1 AM) at Virginia Baptist Hospital just 40 years ago this coming Friday.💓🎂
     My life at 77 is still surviving in God's care and provision in spite of the inoperable pancreatic cancer diagnosed in 2016.  All I can say is Praise the Lord for this quality of life all these years.
     Now, for the update since the last post.
      I stopped taking omeprazole after about 8 days. I still take faithfully my chemo pills!   I don't think the Omeprazole has helped anything as far as pain.  I have been very careful these last 2 weeks with what I eat and how much at a time which is quite a challenge for me because I enjoy food that could be influencing the pain.  REally, eating small amounts at one serving and chewing well is no big deal if you keep your mind on it:)
       I use Tylenol which relieves as long as I keep the food intake in small amounts and eat often.   I will have a CT scan on July 12 (Paul's birthday:)   This may tell some new or old things, but I am not really worried about what it shows.  I just would like to know what causes the pain and then we go from there:)
     I still look back to an old hymn which always gives hope to my life "The Solid Rock" .  I am so thankful that Agustin video-taped songs over the years that inspired me as I sang them and now as I listen to them.  I am not talking about my singing voice but talking about the inspiration they gave and give as I listen to the texts (now-days called "lyrics":). 
      I still appreciate the old hymns which carry our faith and hope in such meaningful poetry based in scripture and faith!
