Random thoughts from Interferon Week 2

Jonathan Markham

· My first experience of depression and fatigue and I do not like it never thought I would have to take anti depressants!

· The realization dawned that this is the first week in January and some form of treatments stretch ahead for a year. Seems like a mountain to climb!

· How grateful I am that God has given me such good health for the first 57 years of my life

· Strange to receive a call from a doctor at 2:30 am asking that we visit the emergency because of a strange reading of my potassium level in a blood test the day before. Thank you God everything was ok just a hemolysed reading (Never thought I would use that word in a blog!!)

· How good it was to laugh really hard with friends on Thursday evening

· The 21 day fast is confused by the fact that nothing tastes the way it should to me and so I don’t really want to eat anything

· Not a good idea to park on the street outside Kaiser South San Francisco. My step-daughter was kind enough to drive to my treatment on Thursday and some body totaled her car while it was parked!

What a blessing to have leisurely conversations with friends who are good enough to sit with me during treatment

"This is where we are!"

When I began this road, I asked God if He would enable me to continue preaching. Two Sundays ago I shared with the New Life family one of the biggest scares I’ve had since beginning this treatment....

Blooming!

One more blog post that caught my attention was from Shannon Cunningham. Towards the end of last year she wrote a very insightful post entitled, “ Bloom Where you are Planted”. I was challenged by ...
