XRay, med adjustment , words to song.

Hello Family, Friends & Guest,

My back was so bad yesterday I called the doctor.  They had me come in for an Xray.  Everything looks fine and no more fractures so they adjusted my pain meds and I have been great all day.  I know the pain meds is just masking, but I'll take it.  Thank you Jesus.

The link is to my Playlist.com account where you will find my newest list of song, My favorite Hymns.  This is the only way I know how to do it until I can figure out how to get the player back on the blog and working.  I have tonight email the developers for help.  I want to provide you with the Lyrics to the Hymn "God Be With You Tell We Me Again" because they are so beautiful.

God be with you till we meet again;
by his counsels guide, uphold you,
With his sheep securely fold you;
God be with you till we meet again.

Refrain
Till we meet, Till we meet,
Till we meet at Jesus' feet;
Till we meet, Till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again;
neath his wings securely hide you,
daily manna still provide you;
God be with you till we meet again.
(refrain)

God be with you till we meet again;
when life's perils thick confound you,
put his arms unfailing round you;
God be with you till we meet again.
(refrain)


I am in hopes of getting the playlist up and running soon, but in the mean time, maybe you can go to the playlist to here the melody and then back here for the words. http://pl.st/p/22410267403   We will see.

Have a lovely evening.  God be with you till we meet again.
Be Well.

PS this was the Hymn that we sang in Sunday School every Sunday at the end of class. 

Dreary Days, Pity Potty, Hospital Bed

Hello Family, Friends & Guest,

As you all know by now, I had back surgery on the 22nd of August.  On the 25 I felt the best I had felt in a long, long time and it has been downhill ever since.  On Friday before Labor Day, I was sure I was done with the Hospital bed so I had Med Equip come and pick it up.  As it turned out I was a little Hasty in that decision and had them bring it back the Tuesday after Labor Day.

If I do nothing but lay in this hospital bed, I am convinced I am not sick.  Nothing hurts, but the minute I get up I know I am sick and always will be.  I am trying to be Grateful, but some days it is terribly difficult.  Some days it can be terribly difficult for many days.  I hate that feeling.

It has been cold and raining here for 3 days.  It is barely lighter than dusk all day long and the rain in cold.  High in the low 60's.  I have never done this before but I am seriously thinking of turning the furnace on and it's only the 8th of Sept.  I never turn it on till late October, but maybe.

OK the above was written early afternoon, It is now 8:00 pm and I am feeling very different.  I have had time to think about my visit with Rev Beth.  A couple of my Face book Friends have commented on comments I put there and Cousin Leah has been to visit. With all that I am out of my funk and I think I am in the process of turning the corner to acceptance.  I don't want to accept and I am going to call the doctor tomorrow and ask a few questions. That is 8 days out from surgery and too long to wait for the return visit on the 21st.   Just in case, they want to check now to see if I did something or if there is something I should be doing.  Maybe I should be trying to walk more, I don't know, but at least I can ask a few questions.

I worked a lot to get a music player to work.  The one I had I deleted cause I couldn't change the play list and the one playlist.com has now will not load in right for me.  I found this U Tube one and I got Art Garfield on it, but alas I cannot get it to load the song Grateful.  I can find it on the Internet and the lyrics too, but it will not load on this player.  I will just have to keep  working on it, but no more today.

I did bake a loaf of Blueberry Bread this morning.  Ray got out all the ingredients last night for me so it was just a matter of measuring out the ingredients and mixing it together.  It was made with Bisquick and Oatmeal.  It took Ray and I together to beat this quick bread 30 seconds, but we got her done.  It is tasty, but not sweet.  I think in a pinch, I would bake it again, but only in a pinch,

This is it for this time, I am emotionally worn out, besides that I am tired so.....

God be with you tell we meet again, Be Well

P.s. we turned the furnace on when Ray got home from work.  I had to get the dampness out of here.  Much better now.  :^)

Random Thoughts & General Crabbiness

Hello Family, Friends & Guest,


Oh what a difference a day makes.  Saturday it was 95 here with a heat index of over 100degrees.  Today the high temp was 61 with an overnight low in the 50ies.  House is cold, had to use the portable heater in the bathroom before I could shower.  Suppose to be cool all week but Friday the high should be back in the 80ies.  Weather is year makes no sense at all.


Just when I think I should call this surgery a failure, I look at my arms that are still bruised all to heck from the blood draws and IV's.  Took 3 times before the IV worked.  I guess if the outside bruises are not healed I should not expect the inside to be.  It's just that day 2 after surgery I felt wonderful and now it is a little better, but certainly not what I was hoping for.  I will try to be patience for a little longer, but I got to say even with all their warnings I am somewhat disappointed.  Oh yeah, I sent the hospital bed back to soon too. Hope to get that back tomorrow.


My neuropathy left over from Cancer treatments is brothering me lots.  Middle (Long Landy), Ring (Betty Hopkins)and Little (Little Jackie Dantoe) fingers of my left hand are numb and tingle.  Bothering lots today as I hemmed a pair of PJ's.   My left foot in the same area is numb and tingles especially when the floors are cold, such as today. 


I seem to be getting winded faster.  I was just short distances and gasp for air.  Not sure what is up with that.  Also been coughing a little this passed week.  This coughing seems to come and go so I am not going to start worring about it now.   I said I was not going to ask Why me, but dang, Why me for everything.  I truly am so disappointed about my back.  I really had put all my toys in one basket and truly believed the surgery would work beautifully. 


One last thing about Sally.  She will take her ball to the den and play by herself.  She looses the ball under the chair and cannot get it out.  She will bark quitely one time and run out to dad.  She will run back to the den and wait.  If he does not come to help right away, she will run back again to get him.  It is a joy to watch.  Ray knowns right away when he hears that bark what's up.


On a happy note, I met a Facebook friend in person Friday.  She brought Ray and I lunch and visisted for a couple of hours.  It was like we had known each other forever.  Turns out her daughter is married to a long time friend of ours among many other things in common.  We had a great time and we are looking forward to seeing Mary and her husband real soon.  Stay tuned.


We had the best time with the kids yesterday.  We had BBQ Chicken, Grilled/Baked Potatoes, Cole Slaw, Corn, Brownies & Ice Cream and good good company.  Later in the day Sophie decided to be the teacher/librarian/conductor.   She had us all following her command.  She told one of us to "sit down or leave the room"  That is just one comment of a few hundred, I just can't remember them.  She also had us singing many song and making motions.  It was a great day.

God be with you till we meet again.  Be Well.
