Hope Lodge and Tex the sharp shooter

My prayer this morning was, “Help me be an example and a light” yesterday was full of good byes, tears  and uncertainty. I started exploring Hopes Lodge. It is beautiful building, and there are beautiful people everywhere.

I put on my exercise cloths and went out for a before snack. I made a new friend or two. This can house up to 40 cancer patients and 40 caregivers. I don’t have a caregiver this week and several people told me they were there for me. One couple bought a gallon of milk for me and put it in my fridge. The kitchens are amazing! They are fully stocked with plates, silverware, bowls and pans.

I brought my own food. There is always food in the pantry and our table has special treats for anyone to take. With my gallon of milk I couldn’t help but spoil myself with some oreo’s and milk for a snack,and that was after the biggest pizzas I have ever seen came in for dinner pizza party.

One new friend told me that she would be so happy if her hair was as long as mine! lol… yup, 7 weeks after last chemo. I can even pull it and it doesn’t come out!

It is so quiet here and my personal room is so comfortable.

There is even a sound proof room. It is so if you need to vent, get bad news or just want to meditate. 

There is a craft room, I need one of my friends to come help me with this craft paper and stuff!

     sitting rooms and everything you need.

I had my first radiation and everything went well. I named the big machine that goes around me, “Tex, the sharp shooter”

My Tex loved his rifle and was a good shot. I am counting on my angel son Tex, to guide the machines and help sharp shoot the cancer out of here!
