![]() So today my husband went to our local apothecary and brought home yet more meds pour moi. As he set the bag down on the kitchen counter, all I could think was, "and the list goes on, the list goes on." And that was that. It was a matter of only a tiny hop, skip, and jump (figurative since a pokey walking pace is all I've got left these days) to an impromptu rendering of my newest musical composition (also about pills for those of you who still hold fond memories of the hit song, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Pills!") This one inspired by none other than Sonny and Cher's ,"The Beat Goes On." The list goes on, the list goes on. Heart still pumps medicament to the brain La de da de de, la de da de da Meds-free was once my rage, uh huh History has turned the page, uh huh The many pills, my current thing, uh huh Pharmaceutics of thee I sing, uh huh The list goes on, the list goes on Heart still pumps medicament to the brain La de da de de, la de da de da The drugstore's my super mart, uh huh From start to end, and end to start, uh huh And when I’m done they bring me more, uh huh ‘Til they fill and overflow my drawer. The list goes on, the list goes on Heart still pumps medicament to the brain La de da de de, la de da de da Now sittin' in my chair to reminisce Of past days when it just weren’t like this. The costs keep going higher all the time Paying out ‘til I haven’t got a dime. The list goes on, the list goes on. Heart still pumps medicament to the brain La de da de de, la de da de da The list goes on(Compazine), the list goes on (Zofran) And the list goes on (Tylenol) yes, the list goes on (Magnesium) And the list goes on (Calcium), and the list goes on (Benedryl) The list goes on (Ibuprofen), and the list goes on and on and on and... Strange things seem to be happening to my brain. I admit it.

Upon my waking. Upon my sleeping. Through all the day. My strength. My grace. My All.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy on me. Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. And beside my bed to keep my mind and heart staid: |
Note from ElizabethAlthough I am determinedly declaring that I will not allow being a cancer patient to define me, I recognize that in truth, for the next several months, it will in many ways do just that, This blog, Fighting with the Wind, is where my medical updates, philosophical musings, humorous anecdotes, heart-warming stories, spiritual contemplations, angry rantings, and joyous celebrations can be found.
