Down day, but it'll get better

Down day, but it'll get better

I sort of hit the wall today with the chemo. Flu-like systems have taken over and I didn't get much sleep last night. My legs are aching and I have a sore throat. So, how was your day? ...
At least I enjoyed having a late lunch with my son today. ...
The chemo symptoms should go away by the first of the week. Hopefully the taste buds will return and I'll be a bit more active next week. ...
I have discovered there's a patron saint of cancer patients, St. Peregrine. Here's his story, according to EWTN.com:
St. Peregrine was born in 1260 at Forli, Italy, to an affluent family. He lived a comfortable life as a youth, and politically opposed the papacy. After he experienced the forgiveness of St. Philip Benizi, he changed his life and joined the Servite order. He was ordained a priest, and later returned to his home to establish a Servite community. There he was widely known for his preaching, penances and counsel in the confessional. He was cured of cancer, after he received a vision of Christ on the cross reaching out his hand to touch his impaired limb. He died in 1345 and was canonized in 1726.
