Zondie, what a good illustration! Yes! Even exercise hurts! And we KNOW that's good for us. How much more other things? Last night at the seminar the speaker on the video was saying that so many of the difficulties that come into our lives come because God loves us and wants to refine us. I turned to a woman beside me who knows what's been going on in my life this week and said, "I guess God loves me a whole lot, eh?"
Thanks for your hugs and prayers, Zondie. I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time and that you've lost your friend. {{{{{{{Zondie}}}}}}} May God be with you.

Hi there, Pengie. It's been a busy week here, so I've not been home much. Now tomorrow I have more running to do. Friday, I get so stay home, and boy am I ever glad for that!
Garrett is here now, but he's leaving with Grandma in a bit, and will go for an eye doctor's appointment tomorrow. He will have a new eyepiece put in, which will hopefully enlarge the eyesocket a little more, then the next appointment (probably in 3-4 mos) they will put a prosthesis in.
I'm sorry your daughter is having such a time. But, yeah, it's good not to borrow trouble. Hopefully, she can get a correct diagnosis soon.
Praying things go well with your husband's appointment tomorrow.

{{{{{{{Pengie}}}}}}}} How did things go at the psychiatrist's today?
Endometriosis is a huge pain (pun intended).

I hope the marriage counselling really helps, because you BOTH really need the help.

This weekend, I've felt quite ill. Have had some serious dizzy spells and weakness. Saturday it was 4pm before anyone around here noticed I wasn't getting out of bed! Today the house is sleeping around me. It's all I can do to manage to let Oreo out to pee. The walls keep spinning.

Not nice. Can you talk to your doctor about it?

{{{{{{{{{PENGIE}}}}}}}}}}} I pray you're feeling better by now.
Ginny, the ankle is somewhat better. I seem to be able to walk on it ok, but it is still painful and swollen. I've continued to keep ice on it today, hoping that tomorrow it will be okay, but that is looking more doubtful by the hour. I was up once today, trying to sweep the floors as my friends had planned to come out; it took nearly an hour altogether, and it was hurting by the time I finished. So, I've sat with ice on it for the remainder of the afternoon. Oh, and my friends didnt' make it over anyway

Good morning, everyone. I got up yesterday morning with absolutely no pain in my ankle! PTL!! I kept my appt with the chiropractor basically to find out what had gone wrong and how to avoid it. He said it was likely just a small bone in my ankle out place, and no way of knowing just what would have caused that since I couldn't remember any direct injury. Anyway, it is all well & good now, and after the doctor appt. I went shopping at the supercenter, then at the local grocery store before coming home.
After the boys got home yesterday the two neighbor kids came down, so they all sat at the kitchen table & had milk & cookies, then we went out to play. The boys wanted to play with the football, so I mostly just chased Garrett to try to keep him out of their way. Then we picked up walnuts for a bit. Garrett chased the ball, the two dogs (the neighbor's and mine), then chased me around when I tried to water the flowers with the hose. He was trying his best to get under the hose. He finally discovered that I was leaving mud puddles in my wake, so he sat down in one of those & splashed for a bit 
He thinks it's funny to run off from me now . . of course, he can't really run, but he can move pretty fast, so I know better than to let him get too far away. But he gets so tickled when I have to chase him down . . . ornery little stinker!
Anyway, after my 9 y/o charge left, the rest of us wandered to the front yard to finish watering the flowers, and the neighbor boys started tearing apart an old, rotted tree stump. It's been needing to be pulled out for a long time, but Bill nor I wanted to tackle it. Well, tackle it they did!! Those to skinny little runts had that thing tore apart in no time at all, and a big mess on my lawn . . . so I retrieved the lawn tractor and trailer from the shed so they could pick up their mess . . . . they were more interested in getting the last tall piece of tree trunk down, but try as we might, even with a rope & the tractor, we couldn't get it. It was really looking like rain, tho, so I told them to hurry & get as much of is as possible into the trailer so as not to leave the yard in too big of a mess for Bill.
While we were busy with the tree, Garrett was busy checking out the lawn tractor, climbing on & off of it, which he thought was pretty cool, so he'd cheer himself on with each accomplishment  . . . he's such a BOY! 
Finally, the rains came, the neighbor boys headed for home & we came inside, which Garrett didn't like at all! So I had to fuss with him to get him to let me change his wet shorts (where he'd been sitting in the puddle), and get him ready to greet his daddy, who came before we were quite finished. I told him Garrett had had a great time chasing kids & balls & dogs & water hoses, and playing in mud puddles and on the tractor . . . I think he is really pleased when Garrett has such a good time here -- last night he wasn't sure he wanted to go home! Really, even tho the older boys don't pay a whole lot of attention to him yet, I think it is good for him to be with them. Eventually, they will get used to him and include him more, I'm sure. Right now, I think they are not quite sure how to 'play' with him. This afterschool babysitting is working out well. I only really have the one, but the neighbor kids seem to have adopted me, so it's like I have 3 plus Garrett.
Oh! . . when Bill came home, he takes one look at the tree stump mess & the lawn tractor sitting in the front yard and says, "Tell me you didn't drive that tractor!"    . . . . . well, one of the kids sure didn't drive it! -- of course I drove it . . . Oh! My foot is fine! Good grief, I chased Garrett all around the yard for a good hour before I got on the tractor, not to mention the shopping I did!  . . . . he teasingly accused me of just wanting to be waited on all weekend . . he actually did an excellent job of that, as I said yesterday. And I'm planning a good dinner for him tonight to thank him for that

Zondie, so good to see you in here again. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. How sad that so much time was wasted before they found what the real problem was. I'll pray for her family.
I did something to my ankle on Friday, tho really don't know how or what I did. I was sitting here at the desk just before 10:00 a.m. with my feet tucked under my chair, ankles crossed like I sit a lot, tho I was crossing them rather tightly because I had to go to the bathroom, and was trying to get the bills paid before getting up so I didn't have to come back to the computer before starting on other tasks. I made it to the bathroom (in time even! ), but when I started to get up off the potty, I couldn't put any weight on my ankle.
I hobbled around for a while knowing my ankles give me problems often, and it sometimes takes some time to 'work it out'. But it started getting worse instead of better, and the end result was a trip to the chiropractor to have him hopefully put back whatever joint or bone I'd displaced. By the time I got down there around 2:15, it was so swollen and so tender I could barely stand to have him touch it. He tried adjusting it -- with my urging but also being warned I was going to scream -- but he couldn't do much to it. He told me to keep it on ice and elevated all weekend, get the swelling out, and come back on Monday to do an ultrasound.
Bill was an absolute dear, waiting on me hand & foot, fixing my meals, my ice packs, my ice water, and generally making sure I followed the doctors instructions . . even made a special styrofoam-lined board to support the ankle cuz letting it fall naturally while I was sitting with it up hurt it even more.
By Sunday I could stand to be up on it a little more and actually did some light housework, but for less than an hour before I had to get it back up & on the ice pack. I think that catches up to what I wrote above . . . I'm so sorry -- I didn't realize I'd not posted about the injury in here.
How are things going for you, Zondie? Any changes in your son or his wife's condition? Are you finding time for yourself? I miss you posting in here, but I know you have so many responsibilities right now.
{{{{{{{{{{ZONDIE}}}}}}}}}}}

OUCH!  That sounded awfully painful, Leah. PTL you're doing so much better! I'm glad to hear that your dh is so considerate and is there for you. That's how my dh always has been by me. But of course, we've pampered and petted each other for 33 years now. (Maybe after all these years,he's afraid to stop doing so now!  ) Nah, really we are both appreciative of one another. We know when we've got a 'GOOD THANG' and know how to keep it that way.  I'd love to think that all marriages could be as good as ours; but realize that's not the circumstance.
About how things are going...I'm still pushing forward and asking my Father every morning, for the strength I need to endure the day He's blessed me to awaken to! I want to do exactly what He'd have me do, and be able to glorify Him while performing it. So...myself; I'm BLESSED. As for my son, he's doing better. The UTI is almost completely cleared up. (Still catheterizing twice a day.) My dil has good days and bad. Never know from one day to the next what to expect. So we deal with whatever she wakes up to. She just celebrated her 35th birthday, Sunday. My mother is still in the nursing home and not doing well. She can't be motivated by anyone to 'want' to live; I regret to say. Satan is actually torturing her every waking moment with his lies! I'm so looking forward to the day, when he'll NEVER be able to bother us again!!!
