Saturday again, where did the rest of my week go?  Well, I can tell you about that cause it’s all about me s usual.

I’m home and that is a wonderful thing. I really don’t like being in the hospital but then I doubt many people do. I certainly can’t complain about Deaconess Hospital. The doctors, nurses, technicians, and sanitation people were all great to work with and be around. The care was great, the food wasn’t bad although after while, the menu gets a little old. But, it is the just “not being home” that gets old. So, I am glad to be home and entrenched back in my home and recliners.

However, being home has once again caused a total disruption of the house and Ms. Kate’s schedule. Ms. Kate is once again stuck with doing everything for me. Yes, I know it is what we each signed up to do for each other for life but that doesn’t make it any easier on her. But she has and is totally fulfilling her vow. Our days start out like they always did, each of us on our tech-devices playing our computer games. Then she does work around the house like the daily everything and I sit in my chair or at my new make shift desk and write. The day gets busy around 1300 when e start getting ready t go for my antibiotic infusion. The appointment is at 1430 but we have to be there in time to find a place to park, which is never easy, get me in a wheelchair and get to registration. Then on up to the fifth floor and the oncology infusion suite. (I give God thanks every time that I’m not there for any cancer treatment. ) The infusion takes an hour and then it is reverse the procedure. So, our time from basically 1300 to 1630 is cut out of the day and it is going to be this way until approximately July 17th. Of course, in the meantime I’ll have other doctor’s appointments and stuff to do. Like I said, “it’s all about me” and I’ve told you before, that is NOT the way I like things.

I’m currently back on my scooter for getting around in the house. Once I can put my leg back down, I’ll go back to the walker. The scooter plays heck with my knee and flat out wears me out. But, if I use my walker now, then I have to hold my leg up and hop along. The ideal (I think) will be when I finally can get back to foot-down with my cane. But that won’t happen until after I get my leg/ankle brace. There are so many unknowns at the moment and that only drives me nuts.

But —- let’s take time this morning on this rainy Saturday morning and give God all praise and glory. I totally rely on the fact that God will answer all of the prayers that are going up as plea for my healing. I may not have all the same abilities that I once had but then who says they were all that great. I’m alive, I’m loved, and I kind of have an idea of when I can get back to the pulpit and preach God’s glorious Gospel. What else do I need. I praise God that Ms. Kate is healthy enough to take care of me. We’ve had times in our lives that that could have not been the case. So, let’s thank God for all of the joy in our lives this morning and lift up people who are really hurting. Have a most wonderful day.
