feeling better

Today was much better.  I regained my appetite and ability to keep food down and am finally getting some good sleep.  Oxy makes me incredibly itchy and that kept me up much of last night.  Today I decided to get off of that med and my body crashed a few times into much needed sleep.

Jim and I will be headed back up north tomorrow and I will spend the weekend at St. Thomas More.  Monday I will be back in C'ville for a Parish Council Meeting that night.

This trip has sure been crazy, painful and frustrating but at least I am pulling through and even though there is a long journey ahead, at least I know the next steps to take to hopefully figure out what is wrong so it can be addressed and I finally get healed.

This picture is the result of a nurse who "has a high success rate in getting the vein on the first stick".  I would sure hate to end up with the nurse who has a low success rate.


Thanks for reading this blog.  I will try to do a better job keeping up with it, especially since there will be more updates happening sooner.

God Bless! And thanks again for all of your prayers

Counting down to follow up visit

Hi Everyone! Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  It has really helped.  One of the things I observed when I started concelebrating Masses was how patient you all are with me.  So many of you expressed your prayers and concern for me and simply want me to get better and to do whatever it takes to get well again.  Thank you so much for this!  I could not have possibly dreamed of asking for more. So physically what has life been like lately.  Well, one word: pain.  Yesterday I ran errands up in Tallahassee and paid a price for it.  A good amount of bleeding and a ton of pain when I got back home.  I think what adds to the suffering is the fatigue of hurting like this.  But oh well. I am getting more excited about heading to my follow up appointment.  Jim and I know what to expect and how things are, so in a way it will be a lot easier.  I hope and pray they will do the surgery next week that will solve everything...

recovery from big day

Wednesday evening I celebrated Mass at St. Elizabeth.  It was good to do, but it was way more painful than I thought it would be.  I was hoping it wouldn't be so bad so I could take over the weekday Masses at both places again, but unfortunately, that will have to wait.  I am planning on concelebrating Masses at both parishes this weekend.  Hopefully that will be more manageable. So yesterday I slept most of the day and I feel very tired and weak today.  It isn't fun feeling like this especially since it is so beautiful outside.  I would love to be on a tractor right now or tending a burn pile... anything productive outside would be a dream. It is so frustrating, but then I looked at my calendar and realized that it was only 2 weeks since my surgery.  It feels so much longer, probably because of the flu.  Ahhhhh, patience. I am so grateful that everyone else seems to understand my situation better than I do.  I feel so guilty at times f...
