    Well, the funeral & cremation was Tues. And my son drove the several hundred miles with he and his girlfriend each taking time from work. And they spent monday eve with Sheri-Lynne and her significant other. For sibling who hadn't talked in so many years this was a major answer to praying for 40 years that they would eventually be there for each other!!  I also feel it will prevent m...

    Wednesday, May 6, 2009 | An Anxious story

     
    Thru a chain reaction of: 1) changing symptoms; like from one to 2&3 naps, falling into furniture and door ways, with my quad cane. yet!!   2)Some irratic surfing of the WWW. And. 3)  $25. to the 'Analyst'!    I am now questioning the possibility of both Addison's Disease and Shy-Drager Syndrome, either of which needs much more research and even furt...

  • A Sad Message Day

    Saturday, November 21, 2009 | A Sad story

    Normally I enjoy being a go between when one whom we all love needs prayer, but toay I'd give a lot to be able to change the message from from our Linda:
    "I have some sad news,
    To report from this end,,
    Dad went to Heaven,
    This Saturday night,
    With the wings of an angel,
    That carried him,
    Towards the light."
    And please remember,
    For who you are,
    And everything you do,
    I truly do love you all.

    I bought one last year toward the end of the sea...

    Wednesday, October 15, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Well I have a new disease to get used to.  I went out for two days (how exhausting can it be to push on a toggle to run an electric wheelchair?) and then slept for two days.  Between the MS,  the Fybro,  and now the Addison's all are supposed to cause fatigue and that's what happened.  I am worried about getting the tooth pulled because that is surgery in a way an...

    Sunday, October 26, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I don't know what there is to pray for anymore.  I have an aquaintence on here that was in the same or more pain that I was in before I got the pump.  She was so happy because I had sent her  a message with Medtronic's phone numbers on it and told her to call at least on of the numbers and they would give her a doc's name that implanted it in her area.  She has kid...
