  • I don't feel very well today!!

    Wednesday, October 15, 2008 | A Frustrating story

  • What is there to pray for? More illness and suffering?

    Sunday, October 26, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Thursday, October 16, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Well I've turned into an expert sleeper.  This morning the visiting nurse woke me up with a surprise visit - changing the foley which I have trying to get done through them since I left the hospital at the end of Sept.  It was interesting because I had to chuck all my medicine right away including the Florinef because she was going to get a wacky reading.  She did twice.  ...
