Good Morning Family, Friends & Guest,
First the good news. I have had two weeks of a feeling of generally good health. I still can't breathe any better, that's not going to happen, but yet I have felt pretty good. I have an Oximeter on loan for a month from my oxygen supplier. It seems the numbers stay the same at 6 lpm and 8 lpm so I will be using 6 this week and see what happens. I really only wanted it for the survior walk next Saturday the 14th. http://apps.facebook.com/bf-tacs/?ref=bookmarks&count=0. Check out the link for more information.
Now for the bad news. On Wednesday last, I was attempting to stand up (in mid stand) and I coughed. Something pulled or snapped in my back and I very nearly went to my knees. For the next hour or so it wasn't too bad, then it started getting worse. Well, yesterday I could not get out of bed without holding on to something. It was so painful I thought I would just fall down. I called Hospice and the consensus is that I have Sciatica Nerve Pain. I am taking 600 Mg of Motrin every 3 hours in an attempt to get the swelling down. Prayers Please, I am determined to do this WALK and not in a wheel chair Dang it.
We really need to get busy and get my funeral complete so we are all on the same page when the time comes. I beat the prediction again and I plan to keep on Keeping on but............... My house needs to be in order.
We have been fixing up the patio this week in anticipation of using it a lot. We have lots of birds and even saw a Scarlet Tanager the other day. We have never seen one before. We also have not seen it since.
The kids are all coming over this mothers day and we are all going to decorate bags for the luminiaries for the Relay. I expect it will be great fun. Also Jason is bringing Pie.
Have a wonderful day this beautiful Mothers Day in whatever you choose to do.
That's all folks, Be Well

My Dear April,
ReplyDeleteI have not wanted to post on these pages, well becuz Im never sure of what to say... however having read all your post till today, I am amazed .. at you and your spirit... I dont like reading cuz some of this stuff makes me very sad and very mad at the same time.. I tend to feel so proud to know such an amazing woman who is so strong.. I think to myself OMG if everyone had your strength, belief and inner love what a wonderful place this would be.... I would hope that every child would hope to grow up as confident and strong as you.. Leah Lori and Jason,,, what wonderful people you have brought into this world and taught the ways of life.... laugh at it but never ever take it for granted.. the people on the outside (me) watch you , adore you, and adhere to your advice... and not to mention the beautiful, sincere relationship with your high school sweetheart and what a soul mate means.....and the "Life" you two have endured together.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, okay Im guessin I could go on ... (yep I could ) God granted me an wonderful moment when we met.. he knew what he was doing. you make such a difference in so many peoples lives.,,,, I have one word to describe you........ STRENGTH!!!!!! I <3 U and I Thank YOU...... I would love to walk with you on the 14th...okay Im done :o)
