Sunday, Oct 14 and still improving!!!

I looked at the replies to my yesterday BLOG and had a sweet grin on my face. I heard from a cousin on my Mom's side (create to hear from you Shannon), one cousin's wife on Dad's side (she is family and I call her my cousin anyway. Thanks Radene) and one comment from a couple here in town that responds to me a lot (thanks Sallie because your notes always lift me up). All three of these were exciting for me to read. An top of all of that, I got a call last night from another cousin from my Mom's side. I have not told to Deena in quite a while and it made me happy to hear hear pleasant voice. There are so many NICE treats in this situation that can make me smile because SOMEONE ACTUALLY CARES and that means a lot to me!!!
My headache situation is not improving and if this is my main problem, I will deal with it. I tried to take a nap yesterday afternoon and work up after an hour with one and had two more bad ones during the night. I squeeze my sleep around these when I can. If this was not bad enough, I woke up this morning with a mild one that keeps getting worse. I have taken medicine twice for it and it has yet to become one of those "wake the house in screams" like I get at night, but it won't leave either. I am hoping to get a handle on these soon, but until then, I will have to deal with them as best I can.
Life goes on and I am alive and getting stronger. I am using the walker to assist my legs for now, but took four steps yesterday without putting weight on the walker. They were short steps, but they were still steps. After 7 days with weight on my legs, it seems to be going in the right direction.
Thanks to all of you for everything. Sometimes it's a note in the BLOG, a phone call, a letter in the mail, an prayer to GOD for his help or just a pleasant thought in your mind. These things are all important parts of my life right now that keep me up and moving strong. Deep in my heart, GOD knows the love I feel for each of you but I want to make sure you are aware of it to. Thanks for EVERYTHING!
