the 18th
I woke up this morning totally exhausted, unrested, and hurting from head to toe. I ended up at the ER again. I will be anxiously awaiting another $4000.00 bill from MTMC. hurray! They did another x-ray and now I am diagnosed me with acute bronchitis. Well, there is nothing cute about it. I have been coughing for about a week now. My throat does not hurt though. I have 3 prescriptions including an inhaler. Also I just had to take some more ibuprofren due to the burning in my back which is the precursor to pleurisy inflammation. I have not been to a doctor, hospital, clinic, taken any meds including aspirin since 1998. This bites!
Angela, one of the folks that has been coming to church, had a death in her family today. Oh my goodness! Talk about getting baptized into pastoral work. Tonight we went to visit with the family at their request. We took some food items and had a good visit. The funeral will be Friday. We had prayer for Angela. She is taking this hard. Her uncle, the one that died, was a foster parent of 75 children and has adopted 4 of them. He was to be 55 next month. He died of melinoma which he was diagnosed with just last month. It's awful. The 4 children are younger than my oldest whom is 11. One of his kids, the only son, wrote a note and said his life sucks. He is 8. How sad! Please pray for this family. They are country and poor. Not that they need prayer for being country. Angela can use alot of prayer as well.

My how things change
It's been a few weeks since I blogged but wow. No longer am I in good health. Pneumonia and pleurisy is back. I do not have alot of pain but I do have coughing, sneezing, congestion, and fever. This bites! I sleep, sleep, sleep. My blood pressure has been up and I am having headaches due to it. Some things I've read tell me that the fever and such menas I am recovering. Let's hope so. I have missed so much work. Poor Wendy is stressed out. We are broke and my hands are tied.
My grandmother is on her death bed. She has a living will that says no life support, etc. The doctors say it could be 5 minutes or 5 days. She has been so sick for so many years that it just seems best to let her go. However I am so torn and confused because I am not aware of her spiritual condition. All I can do is hope and pray. This is my mother's mom. My mother's birthday is Tuesday; why is it that death seems to always come around a birthday or Christmas? Mom wants me to be a pallbearer. I am sorta depressed this week.
