What a Day!

Posted on October 19, 2023 by Becky Dingle

Dear Reader:

Yesterday was a very busy day! I am totally exhausted so the post will be short.

Tommy and Mandy took me home to pick up my mail Vickie collected , essentials I needed and to blow a kiss goodbye for awhile.

I had my own entourage today as I met with my oncologist-( we-me, Mandy and Kaitlyn had all our questions answered thoroughly!

Dr Ashley Jeter! God blessed me the day I got placed in her care after my first oncologist retired. I taught her husband and two brother-in-laws 8th grade history… small world! We hit it off immediately-I love her!

She said we would drop back and punt and take off as much anxiety off me as possible.

Then I went to an hour’s IV infusion of building up anti-nausea medication and pumping in energy strengthening medication.

It had been a long exhausting day but a very satisfying one.

The whole time I kept saying prayers for Ben and praying fervently!

It paid off..Lee and Vikki sent out the relieving wonderful news late in the afternoon that he came through the surgery and was resting comfortably-I blew out a pent-up breath and it felt so good.

So until tomorrow… We put our faith in God … our Creator and Father!

Today is my favorite day-Winnie the Pooh

It is also my niece’s ( Bekah’s 🥳 birthday!)

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”

    Quick note just to let you know prayers by the dozens going up for both you and Ben! Just remember, God is and God is great! God also is going to heal both of you and bring you both back better than before because God is hearing prayers for both of you so much he is going to heal you and Ben to clear out the prayer lines a little! Stand strong in his Name Miss Becky, tell Ben to do so too! Just can’t stop thinking about you two!
    Happy Birthday to Bekah!!
