There is a song deep in my heart, put there by my Maestro. The words of praise are meant for His ears only. Each time He hears them, He sings them back to me. Such joy it brings me to know, my song has pleased Him. One day soon, in that bright land far away, I will be truly blessed to sing face to face with my Maestro. Oh, I am so looking forward to those sweet duets.
Happy Sunday, has anyone missed me? I sure have missed all of you. So sorry that I got behind in visiting your blogs. I think I was able to get caught up this morning. I was not able to do my five minute Friday post this week, but will be doing it today. I have been in bed, very sick with nausea, and diarrhea. Dr. Collins is going to send me to the hospital to have a set of xrays done on my small intestine. I am not getting any better, only worse. He thinks I may have crohns disease, or colitis. Coco has been a very good nurse, watching over me. Take care, love you all.
Hello my dear friends, wishing you all a happy Wednesday. Well, I received a phone call from my Doctor's office late yesterday evening. The results from both biopsies are in, praise God no stomach cancer. A great big thank you to all of those prayer warriors, appreciate you all so very much. Doctor Collins said I have a severe case of gastritis, causing the lining of my stomach to be swollen, and inflamed. That is what is causing all of the nausea, and diarrhea. He has put me on some medication, and I go back to see him July 2nd. Because my stomach is not emptying like it should, I am now on a low fiber diet. So, that takes care of my digestive health. Moving right along, I am in need of your prayers again dear friends. I am experiencing some problems with my legs and feet, especially my left leg and foot. Of course, I am aware of the fact that I am a type 1 diabetic, with nerve damage in both feet. But, I am also well aware that when I had my stroke, I had a blood clot. Symptoms I am experiencing with my left foot, and left leg below my knee: bad swelling, total numbness, coldness, red streaks on my foot, weird color on my leg, and the little toe on my left foot is dark purple. Having hard time walking on the left leg, really concerned. Eddie said if it is still looking the same when he comes home today, he is taking me to the emergency room for them to check it out. Bless Eddie's heart, he took some pictures of my ugly feet last night. Please keep me in your prayers. I love you all very much.
- Do you have any fun plans for the summer? Yes, walking with Coco at the dog park, picnics with lovebug and little man, playing at the playground with little man, taking little man to rock city, ruby falls, and the incline. woo hoo.
- Are you currently dieting or following a specific eating plan? Yes, due to all of my stomach problems, I am on a low fiber diet. Also, trying to lose weight.
- How often do you wear blue jeans (or any other color of denim)? Quite often, enjoy the comfort of them.
- Who is your favorite singer? Wow, that is a tough question. Kari Jobe is at the top of my list, but there are many others.
- Have you cooked anything interesting lately? Cheesy Chicken is cooking in my crockpot right now, smells really yummy.
