Today is Thursday and I know it!



Praise God! I actually know what day it is, I can walk and talk, and water tastes good again!

Yesterday I went back to the doc because I was beginning to believe that I was going to pass to the other side....and they gave me a bag of fluids, lots of tlc, and sent me home. Today I woke up and walked and thus far am functioning like a real person! Huge thanks to my good friend Carolynn for getting me to the doc and making sure I was okay.

I am so thankful to all of you who continue to bring food and call and send wonderful emails and the like. I'm even thankful for my friend Ellen who continues to send me pictures of myself with strange hair pasted on them. I guess I'd better get used to strange hair because I think in a day or two, I'll be wearing someone else's since my head is all "tingly" which means I'm just around the corner from being Bald. But there are far worse things. Like going through the loss of a loved one. This week a dear brother in Christ went to be with the Lord, and I'm praying for his wife today as they lay him to rest. And my uncle's best friend will be laid to rest tomorrow. And then there's the woman they're talking about on the news who went for a bike ride and didn't come back home.

In all of these cases, God is weeping because His children are suffering. I'm going to do my best today to give God something to smile about. It's Thursday. And I'm walking and Talking. Praise God! Here's just a couple of Ellen's ridiculous pictures......

So good to hear that your spirit is thankful and yes, people you do not know are praying for you and praising God with you.

Wow...you sound so much more like yourself! Cute pictures, too. The hair's a little big, though .... kinda 80's style. I think the blonde one's been riding with the windows down. Thanks to God for Carolynn who's looking out for you. God is good! Love and prayers - Jane

The blonde one is definetly you! Glad to hear that you are vertical. Been thinking about you all day. You are a lesson as I go about getting frustrated over little, non essential things.... Thank you for your faith and lessons, Rene.

B&B: I know you probably can't respond to the volume of emails, but are you reading your blessedfighter email? Jane

See what I mean about how good you would look as a redhead? You look like an emmaciated Christine Mackey with those curls.
