With help..

 With help from many places far and near.  I have been gifted with the words...I'm back!!!  Today with the birthing day.  Both of our boys were birthed at Methodist Hospital and today I felt like I was pushed back into life.  It was remarkable, remembering that feeling of being swaddled in prayer, treated with kindness and respect, meeting folks who were so interested in the chore of bringing healing with a plan for a successful move to home.   Gratitude can be added.  So...tonight, Doug changed the drains...I have two in my back.  That will continue for a while.  Supper over via Doug.  I'm pain free and  feel the road to total recovery is still a ways away but I'm certainly have a good start on that journey.  Music...This is the day...to celebrate.  More mile markers are coming.  

Home health care folks are coming tomorrow, Tues.  A trip to my primary care doctor, Dr. Horsley is WEdnesday for a check up on ankle swelling related to gout.  I guess the body is saying that it's not really in favor of body abuse.  It will get some healing rest, believe me.  I'm blessed now to take care of that God given body.  So many cards.  So beautiful.  Flowers, beautiful geese, Chocolate chip card...only in picture.  Telephone calls, texts and more.  Just a few of the support leg that will never be forgotten.  

Yes. ..I'm back with a lot of help.  

So...gratitude comes from Doug and I for your willingness to walk along side as our minister Kevin of a few years ago would often say.  Thinking of the crowd of 5000 who walked with Jesus...I also was surrounded.

    Thanking and Praising God. This is a great post and I'm so happy you are on the road to recovery and doing so well. Praying for a good report at the doctor's Wed., and for Doug who I know will be taking very good care of you, and praying for a continued great recovery. So happy to see your post! Made my day!

    Yea, you are home and we are thrilled. So pleased to get the emails from Kathy last week and to hear of your day by day progress. Your journey is remarkable. Thank you for letting us be a part of it.

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
