Kim DeMasie's Online Journal - very inspiring and remarkable woman

The last chemo was Friday and I am definitely feeling it. My brain knows it is over but my body hasn't heard the news yet. I felt OK all weekend then the normal Monday after treatment started yesterday afternoon. We had a bonfire in the driveway and Jeff roasted hot dogs for the trick or treaters. A couple of neighbors came over and I started freezing. I came in and found the couch then crawled to bed soon after. Today has been a very low key day. Mostly sleeping off and on and moaning about my aching muscles. Everything hurts. I feel like my body went through one of those old washing machines. My hands and feet are numb and tingling.

But it has also been a day of reflection in how far God has brought us. We have made it and are ready for the next step. I am so grateful and thankful for all of the meals friends brought over during this, texts every morning, cards in the mail are still coming. I have gotten so many wonderful hugs and just feel so blessed to be included in prayer by so many people.  We don't know what God's plan is, but we do know that we trust it. Thank you for all of your love and prayers on behalf of our family.
