KARMA

 Dad must being experiencing good karma.  He was amazed when Rickcame here to help him.  Also Carol and  SANDRA Supported him by taking him to his appointments etc.

Yesterday Panteli gave him a new shirt for his birthday.  He really needed a short sleeve one.

Today he was blown away when a new cell phone arrived from Ken.  He was so thrilled and happy.

Me I am having a lot of pain.  It has gone from my knee to my hip to a muscele in my back.

Life can be a challenge.

BLESSINGS

Yes I have many blessings to count.

Right now I am sitting in a wonderful chair that supports my back.

Dad is out watering the flowers.

It was wonderful to drive over to Sandra and Randy's along tree lined streets.  The light shining on them gives them life and beauty.  I do love trees!

We enjoyed a real meal and happy company.

One of my greatest blessings in life has been my openness and reptiveness to prayer.  Sara prayed for me when my pain was very bad.  I was curled up on the bed with the heatng pay.  She prayed in her language, She is from Brazil  The pain left for a few  hours.

I am thankful for books to read.

Dad took Spenser around the Safeway.  He loves the grassy places to pee and poo.

Sara made us a delicous healthy meal.  Boy it was good.

I am so thnkful for everyone.

 

SARAH

STRANGE PICTURE.

Sarah our home helper came in the door like  a breath of freash air with big smiles and energetic spirit.

I loved her right  away.  She said she would pray for me with my hip pain.  It is a little better.  The doctor chnged the meds to two Tynanl and one Advil.

I was able to walk to the park where dad picted me up/

Paethan came at four and took him for another walk.

He plays ball to-mprrow.

I will watch the game from bed.      Hurts to sit long in a chair, 

So shappy with Sarah.  She made us a lovey lunch.

Dad did his best and I am thnkful for all he did but he is no Shara!

 

FUNNY

Yes  I  am phoning Sandra to phone dad to tell him I need help upatairs.

Pain is worse today.  I asked Maxine to walk Spenser.

Spent most of the day resting

Funnt she did not answer.

Okay

Yes I am alive and well except for my back hip pain which is getting worse.

Phoned Nolte and am going to have an x-ray.

Panteli is planning to bring supper.

Taking Spenser to the park and dad will pick us up.

Hope he goes to the bathroom.   Love mom

EXCITMENT

 Sorry I cannot put pictures on.

Craig came over with the girls all dressed in pretty dreses.

They came earlierr but we did not hear the knock on the door.

Fortunately Craig phones.

Their excitment was contagious.

Watching them play was wonderful  So much energy.

Sandra came on Sunday to help dad do our taxes.  That wa exciting and very helpful.

New flowers are bursting out saying  "Hello World"

Amazing varities amazing colours.

This day is worth celebrating

new possibilities and new faith and hope/!

I wake up happy feeling so much better.

I feel like I could conqer all my problems.

Slay them one by one.

My prayers will carry me through the day.

I am thankful for all the good doctors and nurses whoud have helped me.

When you enter a hospital you see so many people in pain and suffering.

I am so thankful to be home

Yes the world is full of suffering but if we hold hands and walk together]

feeling loved and looking for beauty

we will find new strength and renewed hope..

So many unanswered questions as we struggle to be healthier.

I am thankful I can talk to Hamlet too.

I have a list of things to do.

I want to walk to the oark and put a little something in the library box.

I want to enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful grass and trees.

I love seeing the little children running on their little legs.

They are full of life and energy.

I will welcome joy into my heart as I do what I can.

I may only get one or two things done today but I will enjoy doing what I can.

Beauty fills my heart .

Your prayeers are blessing me!

 

BETTER

Whatever picture comes up I put it on.]

Aern't they cute!

"God comforts us in all our troubles

so that can comfort one another."2 Corintheans"  

 I felt comforted by all your comments, phone calls and help.

This morning I am feeling better.

Last night I was feeling very angrey

at myself and everything.

Being human means we have feelings.

I needed to listen to how I was feeling.

I need to listen more when I am given advice

God knows all our feelings.

Sharing with Him is helpfeul/

This morning Spenser had to go out to go poo.

I have had one big cup of water.

Dad has several things to do today.

Thankful for all the help Sandra has been to us both.

I will do better

I need to be healthy.

It was wonderful to be showered with so much love yesterday on a difficult day.

Ron phoned and so did Cathy.

Two very important people inmy life.

Kim also phoned.

 

WATEVER

Whatever I do today I have great memories to bless me.

This is good as I am in a lot of pain.

I am finding it hard to pray.

Lifw shoud be beautiful and full of wonder and joy!

There should be purpose and meaning.

There ain't '

There is the struggle to keep going,

I write  LOVE letter to Alba.

I sat to her and to each one inmy family

whereever you are,

whereever I am love you

Jesus tells us the same truth,

Love strengthens us all.
 

courage

Have the courage to beieve that Gis closer than you think.

He works by giving you more courage than you thought you had.

 

WOW

 

QUESS WHO?

The race is on.  Dad and I have spent the day racing to the bathroom.

Yes, I have started going.  It looks like mushy peas.  The pain has gone for now.  I have just taken some more laxative.

I am miserable and tired. We both are.  A poor night of painful sleep is exhusting.

Thankful to talk to Kim and Hamlet.\

Dad took Spenser for a short walk and I have taken him too.

We had gluten free carrot soup for lunch and muffins,

Time to REST.

NOTHING SAYS IT ALL.

Having pain and more pain.

With nausea.

Dad having kidney pain.\

 //we were happy Panteli arrived

mae us laugh and took out Spenser.

The boy across the street wants to help

He will cut the grass and walk Spenser/

 

RIGHT ?

HAPPIER and healthier days!

I  realize that in these golden old age days we have trouble making the right decisions.

Phoning the ambulance to take me to hospital was the right decision.

Leaving may not have been.

I am still not having any movement.

Maybe a lazy bowel.

I will try to talk to Dr. Nolte.

The emergency is not the right place.

I was worried about dad.

He loves to clean and he kept busy.

He also did the shopping.

If I go into hospital dad will need a caregiver.

He does not eat.

He forgets to take his pills.

He is up at night cleaning the bathroom.

He needs some one around.

He does not want this.

Maybe if family just phone and ask him if her has eaten

Sandra phones to make sure he takes his pills.

I am not sure what will happen today.

I am very weak and not hungry.

I am afraid the problem has not been found or treated right.

I feel I made the right decision to come home.

Pray for us to be able to make the right decisions.

Love You!

 

 

LAUGHTER

The three of u, the nurse and Sandra and I ran as quick as I could to leave the hospital

I was able to leave as Sandra was there to sign me out.  They had a bed arranged for me on a floor above

.I was still very blocked after three more treatments.   The last one was the stuff you drink before you do a colon exam.  They are so powerful you just keep running to the bathroom all night.  It is not working yet.  What caused this problem I do not know.  What is the cure we do not know. It will be an interesting night to night.  I have never been so thankful for my own bed and own bathroom.

All day before I sat in a chair for at least 10 hours.  It was dour in the morning and I was thinking of doing some drastic things.  May be falling down on the floor.  I insisted that Sandra come to take charge of the situation.  She talked to the doctor and he came and said how sorry he was.

I should have complained much earlier.

The bed was hard and I had trouble falling asleep.

I am happy to be home with dad and Spenser.  Dad has put my eye drops in and I fall asleep.  We are watching the hockey game now.  Spenser has had a walk and is resting right by our side.  Dad picked up the medication which I take at bed time.

We bought some flower pots at the store to brighten up our back yard.

The house was bright and shinny as dad had been working very hard to clean it.

The nurses were very cheerful and helpful.

This not the first time I have ran to escape from the hospital.  Carol and Sandra were with me.

I believe if we can keep finding things to laugh at Life is Good.

God loves us and HE must have a sense of humor

look at all the funny critters de designed.
