Hey everyone! Good to see you all in here.
Yes, Ginny, it is a store we can visit. And we may very well need to. As of today, I can tell a huge difference in the way I'm feeling. I've had more energy and less pain than I've had in years! With the exception of the few days immediately following my recovery from the rotovirus I got from Garrett I'd referred to earlier. I've gotten so much done, and am still feeling good at 10:30 at night. If this continues, I am sold on these products and will be praying for the funds to keep up this 'supplement therapy'.
I didn't do much at all before noon today -- just lazily sat here at the computer chatting and playing a game until Bill got up. It was at that point that I realized how pain-free my body was. Before, just walking up the three steps from the living room to the kitchen caused a good deal of pain; in fact, my body is in constant pain all the time. Nothing unbearable, just enough that I have to limit my housekeeping activities to 15-20 minute segments most of the time, resting in between. That makes for a very slow housecleaning process.
Today, I vaccuumed/swept the living room, dining room, kitchen & sitting room; used the outdoor hose to wash flower pots lying on the ground (requiring me to bend over for an extended period of time -- something that usually sends me to my chair for an hour), repotted plants, carried heavy plants thru the house, and made several trips outside & back with smaller ones, maneuvering the three steps to the backyard with nary a groan; then shopped at two different stores, buying lots of fruits & veggies (to hopefully help this whole process along), washed veggies, cut/broke them for salad enough to do us over a week, cleaned the veggie bins of the fridge, stored the $50 + worth of fruits & veggies, unloaded/reloaded the dishwasher and then straightened the kitchen. This was all done over a matter of 6-7 hours with just a few short breaks. I still feel good!
Maybe this is just a fluke -- a very good day for me or something -- the next few days will tell, but I really believe it is a result of the supplements I've been taking. I can feel the changes in my body.
So yes, Ginny, we can visit this store. Just bring some money and be prepared to spend some if you really want to try this. It's not cheap. Not expensive either when compared to the cost & pain of the steroid shots I'm scheduled for -- and yes, there is a difference in my skin also, even tho I've been very rough on my hands today, and they are in bad need of some TLC before I go to bed shortly. I'll rub the ointment into my skin followed by some heavy hand cream then don cotton gloves for the night, as I've been doing all week -- same with my feet. I think the skin is looking better, but I realize that particular healing will be a slower process.
Ok, I'm off to bed

Leah, that's great! So glad you are feeling better. Maybe I'll plan a trip for my next payday say next Friday?

Hi Mike & Ginny -- and thanks!
Ginny, I'm not real sure about Friday -- the kids here are out of school, which means I may have my 9 y/o . . . his mom is having surgery this week, and wasn't sure if she would be home by then, and keeping Eddie herself or sending him here. Check back with me later this week.

Hi Trish! Nope, I feel fine & dandy today -- have already been to church and back home. We're having a fish fry at church tonight -- the one I thought was last Wednesday, and went to church prepared for   . . . owell, at least I already have my green bean casserole made, so all I gotta do is thaw it and warm it up. Think I'll make a cheesecake and take it also.

That's fine Leah.
Cheesecake sounds good.
I picked up a fruit tray while grocery shopping today. Will take it to Life Group tonight.

Hi Ginny, Mike & Trish! The fish fry was great . . lots of good food, great fellowship and a good worship service afterwards.
I'm still feeling quite perky today, so will try to get some more things accomplished that I've been putting off for a while.

Resurrecting this neglected thread with a word from Pengie:
I have been quite ill. Had a long hospital stay and am now on heavy pain meds that have me very disoriented. I had a bad infection that caused some kidney damage. A CT scan showed my kidney function is weakened. Am home with nursing care. Mostly bed bound.
I told her we'd pray for her.

Oh my, Maggie . . . thanks so much for passing that information on . . . . I had been wondering about her, too, but hadn't taken the time to email. So glad you did.
And thanks for resurrecting my thread 
Pengie, hope you can join us soon, and please know I'll be praying.

Hello. I got the chance to sit up for a bit. I have gone back into another infection. I wanted to take the time to tell everyone thanks for their prayers and friendship. This may be my last post. I think my battle may be coming to an end. I am very tired these days. Thank you all for the love you have shown me. Each of you have been a blessing to me. Please pray for my daughter, Heather. She is not doing well at all.
Please, Leah, pass this on to Maggie's thread for me? Thanks!
God bless you all. I know I will meet each of you one day.
Maybe, God still has one more miracle left for me, too. If not, know that I love you all.

Oh Pengie! I have enjoyed your friendship too. And I loved meeting you. You are so very special. I'm praying that this is not the end, but it if turns out to be, will Heather or your husband let us know how you are when you no longer can? God be with you!

I have so much enjoyed you being in here, talking to you in MSN the few times we got to do that. I wish I could meet you, but I know someday I will. Please let your daughter know we are if she needs to talk . . . if you think it would help, I'd be glad to email you my phone number to give to her.
And God still does work miracles, so I will continue to pray for one.
Lord, I ask you to be with our sister, hold her close to your heart, Dear Jesus, as she struggles to hold onto this life. If it is for sure her time to meet you, Jesus, remind her that the Life you will give her will be so far beyond what she can imagine now. Enfold this family and that house with your peace and your presence . . a supernatural peace that only you can give, Lord, so that her mind will at peace in spite of what she has to leave behind. Please, Father God, pave the way, make it as easy as possible on her daughter; send her a 'mom' to help her thru this. Be with her husband . . thank you for giving Pengie the strength to insist he get help; continue to move him to follow up with that help, Lord.
I ask you once again for her complete healing, but also ask that your will be done . . only you know what will be the best way to accomplish that. We've so enjoyed her posts in here, Lord, and enjoyed getting to know her, and I thank you for that opportunity.
In the precious name of Jesus . . . . Amen.

My heart is breaking for you even as I try to type this. Yet, a part of me is rejoicing; just to have gotten acquainted with you. Although we've never met, somehow, I feel so close to you. Thank-you for posting a link where we could see your picture. That picture of you is in my mind now. As beautiful as you are on the outside, is nothing to compare (I'm sure), of who you are on the inside!
My prayer is that you won't have to leave us so soon, but also, if it's our Father's will, then I look forward to the eternal day we'll spend in His Kingdom! ( So if He calls you on Home, then go on ahead of me and 'SHINE' Sweetie!) You've made me laugh and cry. You've touched my heart with a special friendship that I'll never forget. I've shared your story with my family and we've prayed for you numerous of times. (Including your family)
Compared to 'Eternity', this life is nothing more than a vapor. It won't be very long until we'll all get to be together again! I get homesick at times, Pengie. For Heaven. For the eternal peace and all that God has promised us in His word! No more disappointments, heartaches, tears, death, hunger, loneliness, rejection, persecution, abuse, sadness of any kind and something I know you're looking forward to...no more sickness or pain!
If He does show 'favor' to you before He does me, and you find yourself enjoying all that He has in store for you when you get there; don't be to surprised if an angel interrupts your rejoicing from time to time, with a hug. It'll just be a granted request from some of your friends you left here; asking God to send an angel on our behalf to remind you of our love for you until we meet again!
Heather will remain in our prayers (along with your dh). And as Leah has already said, she's welcome to come on here and talk with us. Be the brave soldier that I know you are Pengie and don't ever give up on the possibilities of miracles! I love you sis, more than I've ever been able to express. Thank you, for sharing your love of God with us!!!
(Also in agreement with Leah's prayer.)

Hey there! Someone's been revivin' my thread!!! Thank you, Ginny, Trish & Beckey!
Yes, Becky, we got snow last Saturday night -- just a light covering, nothing spectacular, but it lasted until Tuesday, believe or not! We've had some really cold temps this week. Today, it's supposed to get up to the low 40s. We're on our way to St Louis to see the granddaughters in their first gym meet of the season . . thankfully, they are both going today -- back to back, so tho it means we'll be there until about 8 or 9 tonight, at least tomorrow we get to play with the family  . . actually, Monday our daughter will be 39 years old! -- I know!!! I can't believe it either!  . . . . and I don't know where the years have gone. But, they've been good years, and she is a beautiful daughter, with a good life . . a good husband and 2 wonderfully precious daughters of her own -- I'm a bit proud of them, dontcha know . . . . . anyway, we'll stay the night with them and celebrate her birthday a day early before returning home tomorrow.
Is everyone ready for Christmas?? I am so not ready, but I'm getting there. Next week I have to concentrate on this quilt I'm trying to put together for my dil. Gotta run to Walmart & get the fabric for the back -- Ginny, WHY didn't I do that when I was there with you the other day???  
Thanks for not forgetting me, guys!
