No sharper part 4

You would think that someone in their 50s might learn from previous experiences. Not so much. I'm still not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I have somewhere around 30 different places on my hands that have split. Thankfully only a couple on my fingertips. Most of the previous fingertip splits have healed or are close to healing. They will be back because they take turns but for now the tips are good. But there are 30 some other places that have split. Sides of fingers, fronts, 'corners' where fingernails are, and all along the side of each hand. Now I say all of that to say this, we went to another movie yesterday. When I watch a movie I need, it's not a desire - it's a need, buttered and salted popcorn. Need I say more. It wasn't quite a painful as the previous bag of popcorn but it wasn't too far behind. The sad thing is that I didn't even think about it ahead of time. Oh well, I'll blame it on chemo brain.
Two movies in two weeks is almost unheard of for us. But actually being able to do it --- priceless. We went to see The Blind Side and it was a good movie. I wouldn't have minded paying full price for this one.
My hands will heal but they will continue to split until we are done with the current drug of choice. They have told me that when we are done my skin will look much older than my age. Which, in the long run, is a small price to pay if all this works to kill the cancer.
Of course the other side is that after the last three years I feel older than my age. But none of this was a surprise to God.
God is good all the time!!

Mark 9:50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another. ESV
