  • Feeling Great!

    La dee dah, dee dah,
    I drove, I drove, I drove!

    Yesterday and today I made the big plunge - got on the turnpike and took children to medical appointments way-up-yonder!  I did just fine.  No, I did GREAT!  Didn't blank out while driving.  Didn't ALMOST get in a wreck.  No shaky hands or sweaty palms!!!

    I also did grocery shopping Wednesday (the B-I-G trip) and again on Thursday.  Things are going so well for me again.  I saw one of the doctors yesterday when Annamarie was there for her appointment and he inquired about my health.  I told him I felt about 97% of the "old me" again.  He was so glad.and happy for me.

    I feel free again.  I feel like I can almost do my fair share of the work around here without needing as much assistance.  They told me, at the beginning of September, I would feel close to "normal" by the end of the September and it was hard to believe.  I took the doctor's word, held hope in my heart, and  here I am - living proof.

    All I need is a little more energy after doing my daily things and I'll be right where I have always been.  I'm sure, with this huge improvement in the past couple of weeks, energy is right around the corner for me.

    My girls have commented that Mom doesn't look sick anymore and there is "pink" in my cheeks again.  They also said I was more fun when I could play!  I must have been a vegetating mess in their eyes!

    This wasn't a pleasant ordeal to endure, but I learned so much about what we all take for granted on a daily basis.  I clung to God like a vine to a tree.  My faith and reliance on God grew even more strong and stable than before.  And THAT has been a blessing. 

    To see so many Christians come to my aid to help and cheer me up has set an example for me about what *I* can do for others when they find themselves bedridden.

    God saw fit to raise me up and He continues to do so.  I'm so grateful for this experience and all that I have learned.  And . . .

    I feel happy, happy, happy inside again - the old joy I used to feel when I awakened everyday!!!!!
