Well I
found the gloves. Of course it was
after I had bought some new ones. They were in a jacket I'd forgotten I wore with them. So now I should be really warm. Actually I’ve not had need for them—the weather has been great. I’m grateful for finding them and not needing them!! It was a lovely weekend with my guys. We’ve accomplished quite a bit and still managed to relax and enjoy each other.
Did I mention I also
found the shirt? Yay!
I tore the house apart looking for some pictures yesterday and actually found them. Hey! I’m on a roll.
I am grateful for some good news on the medical front. I still have a few more tests to go, but my worst worries have been addressed. My blood pressure has come down significantly. And I was surprised to find out that I’m dealing with
hypothyroidism as opposed to some other issues. That was unexpected. Looking at the list of symptoms was like looking in a mirror, we’ll see how I do on the medication. While I know it is not a “magic pill” that will fix everything, I have hopes that it will put me in a place where I can work at being healthier physically and mentally.
The timing on the colonoscopy Friday was good, my husband was able to take time off to help transport the boys to their activities and then me back and forth. That was a real blessing. I won’t lie and say the prep was not bad—it was neither fun nor pretty. The procedure itself, though was manageable, mostly due to the medications they give you (which make you forget the whole thing!).
There are people out there who want to be awake for this. You know I was awake for two C-sections. Those were joyful experiences (even with the issues of the first) I got pretty babies—but to be awake for a scope? Hmmmmmmmmmmm…I recommend the
Versed.
I am very grateful to the staff, the nurses and the doctor for the care they gave me. Once I got there it was almost a relief and their attitudes and skilled care blessed me.
I am so grateful for my friends who covered me in prayer. The peace that filled me was nothing short of miraculous.
This new week is just waiting. What are you grateful for?
Esther A Catholic Mom in Hawaii shared The Lovely Award with me. Thanks, Esther! I love Esther's blog. I'm always encouraged and refocused after a visit there. Maybe it's the Hawaiian winds blowing warmth my way? Hmmm...
