Where I've Been
I've been around ... but not so much with blogging. I've been having back problems, getting lots of rest, using ice pack/heat pack rotation, taking pain meds, getting massage therapy, and then finally went to my doctor to see what could be done. The pain was getting worse. He ordered x-rays (I haven't heard back, but I don't think that's the problem) -- and put me on a steroid pack for three weeks (days 1-4 are out of the way now). The steroids seem to be helping the pain to decrease (from above 10, to a manageable 6-8). Thanks to those of you have known and have been praying for me. I'm still having to be careful, but it's nice to not be hurting so badly now!
Next event that I want to share with you: Some of you may have seen this on my Facebook page, but on the evening of July 4th, my college roommate died of a cardiac arrest very unexpectedly and suddenly. Yesterday (Thursday, July 10), a friend of ours drove us to Columbus to the funeral home, and then to the church for a dinner with the family and friends, and then brought us back home. (Too much driving for me to do at this time.) I had been asked, and was privileged to share at her funeral service. The link to this is included here, if you would like to read what I shared about this very special "dynamite" friend of mine. Here is what I believe to be the last picture that we had of the two of us -- maybe about 4 years ago? (I'm not sure).
More to share and celebrate in a few more days. Be seeing you over at your Xanga home! And since I haven't seen my grandkids for awhile due to not being able to drive far, here are some pictures that my kind daughter-in-law posted on her FB wall. It helps to see their pictures at least!
