Ron sometimes has to us a cane also, when he can’t trust his ankle....but he’s pretty stubborn about it too.... morning FH! Happy Thursday! Morning everyone, happy Friday! Get to see our Jazzy today! I think she will spend the nite with us....although she’ll have to sleep on our very uncomfortable couch! At least for sleeping it is....the kids will come an get her tomorrow, or Matt will after he gets out of work Saturday morning....not sure...
sure have enjoyed being alone with Ron these last couple weeks! My cousin still needs prayer....she’s like a roller coaster....with her depression.....
welp, gotta get my butt in the shop....last round for the week!😃❤️

 I can just imagine the two of you doing that Cheryl! I also canceled all those kind of tests for the same reasons. Now they rarely ask me about them. Every once in a while they will...but I just say no thanks, and they leave me alone again lol. I figure if I've got cancer or anything else besides all the stuff I've already got, even if it's going to kill me, so what? It's not like that's the end of the world - it's only the end of this one, and that doesn't bother me at all! Not that I'm trying to kill myself, but I don't want to spend all my time at a doctor or hospital. I hate those places! God knows when my time is and that's when I'll go, and not a second before then, no matter what tests I take or don't take or what the doctors do or don't do. Cindy, that is EXACTLY how I feel about it!!
And everyone talking about canes. I have a cane. Well, two of them. I keep one in each vehicle. I don't leave home without one. I use the railing to navigate the stairs, but other times I must have my cane handy. I'm not stubborn about using it and I get strange looks, but I just don't CARE. It's not THEM who might fall. It's not THEM who will be in extreme pain and possibly break a bone if I fall! Nope. The cane is my security blanket, and I get extreme pain in my hips, and they feel like they dislocate, and my legs are like a wet noodle, so the cane is there for me. I don't worry about what anyone else thinks about it. I live alone. No one here to take care of me, but me. So, I need to be able to walk on my own, without a person's help. Ed used to help me, but he's not with me anymore. I also kept his walkers and his wheel chair. If I end up having to use something like that, then I don't have to buy them. I did sell his scooter though. That thing was dangerous. And he even fell, using it.

Hi
Been a while so I'm checking in - hello everyone!! I wanted to mention how much I love talking to God. Interestingly, when I was going through my "Red Sea" moment of extreme trust in Him, He was very chatty, and I loved it.
The extreme trust moments are pretty draining, BUT - I loved the fact that God was there and coaching me through it all.
What I found interesting too was that even though I knew everything in my life could go to custard if it went wrong, I wasn't really worried.... I'm definitely not suggesting at all to get yourself on purpose in a bad jam and expect God to dig you out, but its amazing just how God worked and removed my fear.
Funny too how when stuff goes "bad", often its a Godly blessing, but were too busy being cranky to realize it....

Bruce had a rough morning this morning. He was afraid he was having another heart attack, but it was just anxiety due to symptoms from the RA. I gave him some Gas X to chew up and a lorazepam to calm him down, and after a bit he was ok, so I sent him off to work. I did call him when I thought he was having his break (but I missed it lol) to check on him. He said he was doing fine and he sounded good, so I'm not worried about him. Of course I've been praying for him all morning too which helps. Poor guy. I wish I could take all his symptoms away from him. I wish I could work instead of him.... but this is the way the Lord has ordained it, therefore I'll be content and do the best I can. I'm sure His way is the best one for us both as He knows much better than I do. It sure makes me glad I'm not God though. I wouldn't have a clue lol.

Wow, you seem to have your hands full with Bruce's health, Who takes care of you? Cindy, I read what you posted to the board to Shirley and she told me to tell you. " We got you and Bruce covered in Prayer. " Tell Bruce, we hope he feels better. Blessings to you both. |

Thank you everyone....its been a full on day..... Here is a bit of an ugly dose of the world favouring sin over truth. It breaks my heart that those who commit all manner of perversions are protected by Satans ugly world, while Gods people are "stoned".... 1 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2 With a mighty voice he shouted: “ ‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. 3 For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”4 Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “ ‘Come out of her, my people,’so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 5 for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. 6 Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Pour her a double portion from her own cup. 7 Give her as much torment and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow;I will never mourn.’ 8 Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her. ( Rev 18:1-8 )A man who stands for God, speaks Gods truth, and appears to have been sacked because of it....people would not rather remember Sodom And Gamorrah.....www.abc.net.au/news/2019-04-11/israel-folau-set-to-be-sacked-by-rugby-australia/10993856
"Rugby Australia (RA) has announced it intends to terminate Israel Folau's contract following his latest online comments that homosexuals and other "sinners" will go to hell."
Key points:
* RA says Israel Folau has not made contact with it since he posted homophobic messages on Twitter yesterday
* The Wallabies star will now be sacked "in the absence of compelling mitigating factors"
* RA says it has previously warned Folau posts that are "disrespectful to people because of their sexuality will result in disciplinary action"
* Referring to an article about Tasmania's decision to introduce gender-optional birth certificates, Folau took to Twitter on Wednesday afternoon to caution that "the devil has blindsided so many people in this world, REPENT
and turn away from your evil ways".
Some two hours later, Folau — who last year garnered widespread criticism over similar comments — wrote on Instagram "those that are living in sin will end up in hell unless you repent".
RA and New South Wales Rugby Union said they had made attempts to contact Folau "both directly and via his representatives" since Wednesday night, but the star failed to communicate directly with either organisation. |

Sorry I couldn't make it here yesterday. Bruce woke me up really sick so I was taking care of him all day. Had to go to the doctor and then to the hospital for tests (again).  He had severe lower abdominal pain and bleeding. The doctors aren't sure what the problem is, but God knows and He's healing him, so he's feeling some what better today. I told the kids to stay home this weekend though, so he can rest. Although Jenn will take me shopping if he's not up to it by the end of the weekend. She has Monday off so if I can't go on Sunday, she can take me then. So if I don't show up here on Monday, you'll know why. But I'm hoping we'll be able to go tomorrow.
Talk about weird... when I woke up it was pouring rain and looked like a nasty day ahead, but the rain has stopped and it's clearing and the temp is supposed to go up to 71 today!  The high tomorrow is only going to be in the 40's though. Who knows....maybe that will change too!
Oh, I do have a prayer request though, besides for Bruce I mean. This is weird too. Remember how the pharmacies all ran out of morphine back in November? Well, they've been out of prednisone for the last month. Not entirely, just from one manufacturer. Problem is that Angel can only take the kind that manufacturer makes. The others are so bitter that she foams at the mouth and freaks out so doesn't get any of the medicine. Thankfully we haven't had to start giving it to her yet. That's weird too as with the temps going up and down like that have been, we've always had to before. I keep wondering if the Lord healed her. I asked Him to, but at her age, I just wasn't sure if it was in His Will. So it's entirely possible that He has! Especially since she had a really rough summer and fall and was on it later then normal and had to take more then usual. (she normally doesn't have to take it in the winter). And now not needing it yet.... That would be great if He has healed her. But just in case, could you all ask the Lord to make it so we can get her prednisone soon?
Thanks guys, you're the best!  Thank you everyone....its been a full on day..... Here is a bit of an ugly dose of the world favouring sin over truth.

“Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.” (Luke 6:22–23)
Then Jesus spoke to those doing the persecuting:
““But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.” (Luke 6:24–25)
But this is the scripture that always gets me, as it's a very strong warning that many today seem to have forgotten. Especially those who cater to the world and yet call themselves Christians:
“Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.” (Luke 6:26) In fact, I want to say a bit more about this, but will start a new thread somewhere else for it.....

Living With Pain

Post by fearnot on Apr 14, 2019 9:35:21 GMT -5
So of course the MRI showed 'something' and they want to do a sonogram ( because I am done with mammograms).
They did give me finally some meds for the MRI.
I told them I would cancel otherwise....
actually I DID cancel, and quickly got a call saying it turned out they could give me meds.
The reason, I will do the sonogram also is, IF the 'something' they saw, turns out to be cancer, I am hoping, then will not take away all my pain meds. like I am worried they may yet do.
I won't do chemo, radiation, or surgery ( unless it was to relieve unbearable pain)....but that should be taken care of by pain meds.
I am not worried about it at all.....I totally agree with what you said Cindy, about dying and being with the Lord is better!!!
I am not 'worried' should they decide it's cancer, I just want to be sure the pain can be controlled. I don't want to do all the other stuff, and make my life even more miserable (or rather more pain filled ) by chemo, and radiation, surgery etc.
On the other hand, I have discovered that 2 biopsies were 'nothing' and only one biopsy was 'something' (cancer) in 'situ'...
which they don't consider real cancer.
Plus, I think doing those cuttings (surgeries/biopsies),
might have actually spread it,
whatever 'it' is.
I am just wanting to run the race God gave me, and finish as best I can!!
My adopted dad got cancer and did nothing for it. The doctors had wanted to do surgery,
but a little old country doctor
(my mom knew, being as she had been a nurse all her life)....
told her NOT to let my dad agree to the surgery,
he said, that if my dad went the surgery route, that my dad would live, (at best), approx a year, (if they went to Boston for the surgery).
To be sure, this was ,waaay back in the late 50's early 60's.
But, nevertheless, I don't think, the outcome (in general for cancer surgery) is all that much better, today.
So they did not....and my dad lived 17 more years, and only had one day of excruciating pain, the last day of his life ( the cancer had spread throughout his whole body, and yet, he had lived his life almost normally).
Near the end, he did self medicate a bit, by drinking a little bit.....but not like a drunken alcoholic.....
just more than he used to .
before cancer, he only drank on weekend at parties, when they played bridge, or he had a beer or two when he went the whole day fishing.
Will pray for your kittie and the meds. The other day we thought we had lost our semi-feral ...now kittie pet, cat, to maybe a predator......but after a day and night, she came back. Thank you Lord.

That was awful of that doctor, not to want his patients to live in comfort! Regardless of the medication, it's why it is call medication! To medicate. To make well. To comfort. To heal. Wow! Sorry, Anna, but your family doctor was so wrong, on so many levels.

That was awful of that doctor, not to want his patients to live in comfort! Regardless of the medication, it's why it is call medication! To medicate. To make well. To comfort. To heal. Wow! Sorry, Anna, but your family doctor was so wrong, on so many levels.
Good day Cheryl, I was thinking about you the last few days, I pray you are blessed and doing well.
Good weekend, quiet, none eventful......Church, and hanging out with the ol’man.. |

I am sorry to hear that about your grandfather, Anne!!
The reason, I am even doing these tests,
is if they should determine it is cancer,
then,
I do want some pain relief
( and it might help in my keeping pain meds for all the issues of pain I already have....
as I do NOT want it handle by 'mindfulness'...what they have been trying to push on me).
Actually, Cindy, it was my adopted dad...not a grandfather....
tho when I came to live with them ( I was almost 6 years old),
they were in their mid to late 50 years old,
so they really could have been my grandparents due to age LOL
All my friends parents were in their 30's.
I will pray for Bruce, and that they give him the correct, helpful medicine!!

Yeah ladies, I had a tooth that I started feel pain from it, I don't know why, then it got loose, so instead of looking for a dentist and all the XX that goes along with that, anyways I just pulled the tooth out myself, that was easy and ended the pain.

Well, Bruce is still in pain. The doctors aren't doing anything. They don't have a clue what's going on. So we have to rely on the Lord, which is actually a good thing, and what I prefer doing anyway! I even told the doctor that lol.

Good Morning, Continuing to keep you and Bruce and all our members , here at FH, in our prayers. I am going to have a 5 day break , from work, starting tomorrow. Praise God ! I have been working 6 day work weeks for the past couple of years. I had a long talk with our team and as of May 1, I am going to a 5 day work week. Heck, I need to have a life and I am leaving for our tour at the end of May. Although, I still will be here, while I am on Tour. Shirley is so excited about being on the road, going city to city. Our first stop is Columbus, Ohio. We are spending a few days extra so we can visit my mom and friends that have died. So one day, is visiting cemeteries . I have not been home since 2011. I have 2 other brothers that live within a 10 mile radius of where my mom is buried. Would you believe that either one of them have gone to visit my mom? Unheard of!!! I had the cemetery, a week ago, Put a vase and some flowers on my moms grave. When I get there, I ordered a Tombstone to be delivered and placed for my mom. We want to be their upon delivery. So, now we are looking forward to it.
We hope everyone has a good, rest of your day.

I can just imagine the two of you doing that Cheryl! I also canceled all those kind of tests for the same reasons. Now they rarely ask me about them. Every once in a while they will...but I just say no thanks, and they leave me alone again lol. I figure if I've got cancer or anything else besides all the stuff I've already got, even if it's going to kill me, so what? It's not like that's the end of the world - it's only the end of this one, and that doesn't bother me at all! Not that I'm trying to kill myself, but I don't want to spend all my time at a doctor or hospital. I hate those places! God knows when my time is and that's when I'll go, and not a second before then, no matter what tests I take or don't take or what the doctors do or don't do. 
He had severe lower abdominal pain and bleeding. The doctors aren't sure what the problem is, but God knows and He's healing him, so he's feeling some what better today. I told the kids to stay home this weekend though, so he can rest. Although Jenn will take me shopping if he's not up to it by the end of the weekend. She has Monday off so if I can't go on Sunday, she can take me then. So if I don't show up here on Monday, you'll know why. But I'm hoping we'll be able to go tomorrow.
The high tomorrow is only going to be in the 40's though. Who knows....maybe that will change too!
is on duty, anyways I just pulled the tooth out myself, that was easy and ended the pain.
