Blueberry Pancakes!

This morning I was treated with blueberry pancakes that tasted scrumptious!  Who would think that pancakes that are gluten free, no sugar, and no cow's milk could taste like that!  A strawberry sauce topped it off with a beautiful white syrup that I think was made from coconut milk.  On the side was a nut butter for great protein.  All the meals here are perfectly balanced in every way.  All the right nutrients, the veggies, the healthy fats your body needs, the protein - and presented beautifully.  I had two helpings!

Yesterday I did a heat therapy where you heat the body up - promoting good health and helping to fight bad cells and stuff like that.  It was pretty challenging as I'm not so good at being hot - but one of the nurses was with me non-stop, looking after me and making sure I had everything I needed.  I feel so safe and cared for.  And each medical staff member is highly trained in their field - meaning I get the best every time.

Perhaps the best part of the day yesterday was a wonderful massage.  I believe it was called Parafango.  A hot pack was carefully placed on my back to warm the muscles.  Then the therapist used essential oils to deeply massage my neck and shoulders.  I was carrying a lot of tension in those muscles.  Magdalena was exceptional.  She knew just how to work out the tight spots and bring relief.  Afterwards I felt like jelly!  So loose and relaxed.  Fitting in the massage that day was thanks to the work of my coordinator, Ivan, and several other people who made sure my schedule was rearranged.  It's hard for me to even say how wonderful it was.  To have people want to take care of you and bless you is a gift. 

Thank you to everyone who has posted comments!  I love them!  They are ministering to my heart and my spirit.  I look forward to visiting with each of you when I can actually call and talk.  Perhaps sometime later in April.

Oh - and for those of you wondering about Elizabeth - she has arrived safely from Italy!  Yay!  I can hardly wait to get home to see her and get a bunch of hugs.

Thank you again for loving me.
