hump day...question answer day?

 Middle of the week day.  Brr.  It's the gift winter brings and needs to be returned to where it came from asap.  Love my throw electric...Everyone should have one to maintain good health!!!   Thinking about San Antonia Tx. where my cousin's daughter lives.  Thinking about Richardson Tx. where my brother-in-law lives and thinking about Kurt and family who live in Dallas.  And praying that Texans will soon receive some sort of warming for their homes.  

Angels were with me again last night.  Sleep continues to heal in lengthening spirts.  I am grateful.  My sleep apnea will probably keep me in the chair for a while.  Exhaustion from compromised breathing while asleep is something I'm trying to avoid.  It's not a pleasant thing. 

Made a few phone calls to friends yesterday.  One or two are good.  More that that are a challenge.  The effects of surgery to harvest lymphnods have affected nerves in my face, neck and upper chest and talking becomes a challenge with involuntary lip biting and more after my mouth moves for to long.  What a way to be shut up!!!1  .  As often heard...this to shall pass.  Swallowing has improved.

Today at 1...off to IU medical center once again.  My book is full of questions.  I would suspect some answers and than again probably some not answers.  

So many of you visit me daily when I look at my big box of cards.  You visit sometimes at night.  Yesterday cards came from Indy friends, a friend in Vermont and Michigan  I've challenged myself to look at the card and try to remember who sent it before I open it.  At 4 am this morning...Church at Sec. Presb. again.  It's good stuff.  

A few days ago...my song was,,, I owe the Lord a morning song of gratitude and praise.  ...I don't remember all of the second verse but what I do remember is...He kept me safe another night...I see another day.     So today...I see another day and I am grateful.  

IU Medical Center...ENT surgeon Dr. Moore.  Here we come!!!   1 pm can't come to soon.  I'm packing my book of questions soon.

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
