Yes, another week has flown by and I am still here breathing on my own. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for 8/4/08 to have my elbow checked out. I have a feeling that there is another run with surgery ahead, but I don't get to make this call. I have started seeing the Chiropractor trying to get me shoulder working better. The pain is still there, but seems to be getting better as we move forward with this. My neck is hurting more but that is because so long out of spot did not help.
We had a great weekend and did several good things. We helped Megan move on Friday and Betty helped again on Saturday. I could not help like I wanted to because I can't lift things like I used to and don't walk as well, either. One of Megan's friends from school was there and helped Matt move the big stuff. I felt like I was in the way most of the time, but I was there trying to help as much as I could. On Saturday, we went to Dennis' 40th birthday celebration and enjoyed ourselves there too. From there, we went across town to see my aunt and several cousins. We enjoyed this visit, too. On Sunday, I worked on trying to get my porch ready to paint. Several hours of work Saturday morning and several more on Sunday and it is starting to get ready to go forward. I still have several days of removing paint to be ready to paint, but I can see the end is getting closer.
I hear it quite a bit from people telling me they read this pretty regularly, but most don't respond because they don't know what to say. I can live with this. They still read it because the love is still there. This makes me feel good to hear it.
Betty was looking at some of the pictures taken of me when I was "down". Some of these still hurt me to see them again. The wound on my back still gets my blood moving. I knew it was there at the time, but I do not really remember how bad it was until I see the pictures. This hole was so big and I get to see the pictures to see it improve. It was a long, drawn out process, but God helped pull me through it.
Tiffaney has a job interview tomorrow for a teaching job. The big test she had to take was a surprise to us all. She thought she did poorly on it, but she passed it. We were so proud of her. Only time will tell about how this interview goes. She has one of those personality that does great teaching. She was one of those great tutors when she was in high school and worked in college with "select" kids and taught many how to ride horses when most could hardly walk without help. This is one of those special talents that she is good at, helping other become better people.
That is enough information from me for this week. God will help tomorrow be a great day and allow me to enjoy my life ahead. One day, I hope most of this pain is gone but until this comes, I will smile and move forward. My love to you all.
Thanks dear God for keeping me here to enjoy my life every day.
