Six Weeks Done and Counting!

Thank you for praying and standing by me these last several weeks, six to be exact! We made the trip to Mayo this week and the Lord saw us down and back with no problems. We left out of here about 9:00 AM on Wed and got into the motel around 3:30 or so. We went to Mayo and I was a little early for my appointment (e-ray of neck) and was done by the time it was "time" for my appointment, so we moved on to the next one.....and yes, they to saw us early (just to check that we had insurance)........so, we moved on from there. We went up to my surgeons office since we had to "wait" somewhere..... we got there about 1:15 and the appointment was at 3:45 : ) This is where the buck stopped! We were called back about 4:05 and saw him shortly afterwards. In a funny kind of way it was good to see him again. He really is such a nice "kid" and the kind of person you'd like to see at your church each week. Just so nice.

He was very pleased with the way I could walk, the way it was healing and the way it looked on the e-rays. We all know that we serve an "answering" God and it was clearly all due to the many prayers that went up on my behalf...... again, and again, THANK YOU!

I have been on a medicine to help heal the damaged nurves in my right arm, but it knocks me out ....... I'm talking sleeping way to much and being like a bear when you wake me up. Lowell even said he thinks I need to "come off it" : ) and he's right. So he said I could start wheining off it, which makes us all happy......I'm only taking one a day now (was taking 3 a day) and I've been awake all day today! Even went to the store to pick up a few things! First time in a long time, just ask the grandkids......each time they come over there isn't "anything" to eat!

The Dr. said I can't drive for at least 6 more weeks and then I have to take it "slow" getting back into it.....my neck isn't going to move from side to side as quickly as it use to : / I also have to keep using the brace for 6 more weeks too. BUT the good news is no exercise for my neck or shoulders for 6 more weeks either! I'm sorry, buy I just don't like exercise, but I know it's coming and I'm going to need it too. But the Lord will meet that need too I know.

Well, I just wanted to let you know how I am doing......just fine ! I hope to make it back to church tomorrow morning. It will be so good to get back, that's for sure.

Again thank you for your love and for showing it to me by praying for me. In case you've forgotten, God does answer prayer and I'm proof of it..... THANKS!!
