For those who care to know... and know to care... sharing my heart on a difficult journey.
First page of results from cat scan. Second page of results from cat scan. Last page. I hope someone who is way more "medically intelligent" than I am will translate the above findings for me! I'm not real sure if I need to be concerned or not! I have...
I’ve decided to go to the doctors in Elizabethtown and quit the ones in Lexington. Too far and not doing anything for me. None of them really know what to do with (for) me.... so they shuffle me off for this test or that test or yet another “specialist”...
Hello and Happy March to whoever chooses to read this blog. It’s been awhile since I’ve updated so I will do so here... I am still fighting this crazy battle with Scleraderma... no better, but, thank God, no worse. Whatever it has caused in my digestive...
Yet another diagnosis today as a result of the bone Density Test I went through last week. I received a phone call from my doctor’s nurse today and she informed me that I have osteoporosis. I have been set up with an appointment later this month to discuss...
Good advice and should be followed often!! Again, I’ve been up since the very, very early hours of this morning, October 15th. Woke up with a very strong urge to just enjoy the peacefulness of a sleeping world... no sounds of traffic or activity outside;...
Yes ma'am... Gotta love them cute boots!! I am just loving the photos and phrases from Jane Logan of the FB page, princess Sassy Pants and Co.! Especially the above. I am going to adopt this phrase as my own and, by golly, I'm gonna put on some "cute...
For those of you who have asked and who care to know, I share this update on how I'm doing... After almost a week on the new medications, I have noticed a couple of symptoms are not as bad, while my main problem has still persisted. Yesterday and this...
http://www.scleroderma.org/site/DocServer/digestive_system_article.pdf?docID=314 The above may not be a clickable link, but if you copy and paste, it should take you to the article. It is very informative and CLEARLY describes what I now know my problem...
Must memorize THIS verse! I'm feeling very hopeful as I continue the new regime my doctor has me on of rotating my antibiotic medications. I completed the dosage of Augmentin and now I'm back on the Ciproflaxin and Flagyl. I've only had a few rounds of...
I had my clothes ready for church this morning... Had done a little "mending" yesterday on my skirt, but was rather pleased with myself at that small accomplishment! (Small to most, but pretty awesome to me! Scleraderma hands don't do what normal hands...
Hebrews 6:19 (NIV) 19 "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure..." Again, I was unable to make it to church this morning, due to a really rough night of sickness which persisted until about 9:00 a.m. I truly missed being there to...
I am going to do my best to get out today and enjoy some quality time with Ricky. Going to a nearby town that offers several choices of restaurants and places to shop, including a mall. I’ve got some gift cards from Christmas that are begging to be turned...
From the time I was a very little girl up until now, I’ve loved to collect rocks of all shapes, colors and sizes. I love the look of certain ones I’ve found, but I especially love the solid, heavy, dependable feel of them. They are somehow comforting...
Sue and I left for Lexington on Tuesday evening, Feb 7. The weather turned really cold and nasty on our drive to the motel, but we made it safely with the Lord as our guide. (And that wonderful lady in the GPS!!) Since I had appts on two separate days,...
February 19, 2018, ... Hard to believe it’s still only February when the temperature is 74*! Such a gorgeous day out! 🌤 I told myself I would get out and get some fresh air today, but haven’t yet. The day is still fairly young though. I may try to at...
It’s the second day of March...a brand new month and a new day to be thankful for. And I AM truly thankful. God has been so good to me and I will praise Him always for His unending grace and mercy and for saving my soul and sparing me from missing Heaven....
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted here. I can be strictly factual and share the basics, or I can share my heart, which I am more prone to do, whether I have a pen in hand or a blank screen on a blog page or Facebook update space. Lately, neither...
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared how I’m doing and I’ve had several to ask why I’m not blogging. As I told my sweet Sis in law, Maureen, I have no excuse except lack of commitment to it, really. So I’m going to TRY to do this blog thing for those of...
After a very rough night, I’m trying to find the energy just to get dressed this morning. This is the reality of my life now and I’m really tired of it, but fighting to accept it gracefully. It’s like the aging process... which went at warp speed for...
I know I haven’t updated this blog in awhile, but there hasn’t been much change in my physical condition. But I’ve heard from several friends and family who have asked me why I haven’t been posting in this blog and they’ve said they really appreciated...
Today I am reminded that it’s STILL officially Winter and the “brrrrrrrrr” days aren’t quite over! I’m sitting here with my two layers of clothing on, fuzzy socks and heated throw on high and dreading having to step out the door later! But Spring WILL...
It’s cold and sort of dreary on this quiet January morning. This is the time of year I usually don’t like at all; it’s boring and seems to last forever! And I’m now at the point where I want the cold to just go away! But I have to remind myself that there...
No matter how hard I try, sometimes worry sneaks in and hits me where it hurts the most. What is mind-boggling is that worry and stress can and DO cause internal damage we may not even be aware of. Yesterday, although I felt a little rough, I thought...
Fall 2017 has arrived. The weather does not seem to know this, as it has been hot and steamy outside the past few days and will be that way for several more days. I've always enjoyed decorating, outside and inside, for Fall. I love the colors of Fall....
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Isaiah 40:31. "Those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles....
