Happy Friday!!!!!

My new cookies are here! I am feeling sooo good!

God made Anjou pears for me! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

A new friend via a post she just made reminded me with no knowledge of what I am about to say> Many of you that have known me for years have been aware while I am not diabetic, I was pre-diabetes. My test I had done on Tuesday showed a definite improvement about that issue. The Dr called me at home because he missed me while I was still at his office and in his is exact words, "Dean you have no diabetes." I was so happy about that result but with all the other excitement I forgot to include it in the results about my leg report. You see I have worried about that for years and now, while I still need to be vigilant, I can breathe a little easier and not stress about one more thing! Thank God as He is always good!

Due to some unforeseen circumstances I was not able to see my Dr today as originally scheduled and I had taken my bandage off to shower to go, but I had to cut it off so now I have no one to help me put a temporary one back on so it stops hurting so bad! I rescheduled for to morrow but I hurt so bad and I need to wrap my leg from my knee down through the arch on my foot. I have some stockings for that but I can't put them on over an uncovered wound that is still seeping. Please remember me so the pain eases enough where I can at least rest and relax. That would help me in other ways for my health also! I stress way to easily and I need to keep my blood pressure down! I really need some relief from the pain!

Good morning all! May God Bless you with a bright sunny day and may you enjoy your family, friends and loved ones!

Whats your favorite thing about sitting around the fire? It would really be nice to see some awesome pix as well as I have been out of action for years!

I need some assistance where I can locate some kind of pillow that I can sleep with between my legs! I sleep on my left side and my right leg needs to be elevated abve my heart so I need a pillow to accomplish this! Any help would be much appreciated!

Because of all your prayers and love sent my way I am doing much better today emotionally. My leg while it hurts some still has been feeling much better than before! Keep them coming please!

I been struggling whether I should tell you all what I found out when I was at the Dr's office yesterday! But because you all have been there praying for me so steady I feel I have to tell you. Because I couldn't make an appointment and didn't get the bandaged changed I had quite a setback. I was down to one open wound and well on the way to recovery. I was wondering why I was in so much pain and why it hurt only at certain positions... The Dr told me something that made my heart sink with disappointment. I now have 4-5 new wounds and all of them seeping. I also have a plan "B" in case my ride should ever not be able to make it for what ever reason. I really do appreciate all your concern and prayers. I wanted so to be telling you I am healed but it wasn't to be yet. Like I said I am more disappointed about this than I have been in a long time. Please keep praying for me that I won't let this slide me backwards toward that time when I sunk so low I wanted out. I have way to much going for me and I want to live and enjoy my life as I was doing this whole time! I fight this battle every day to stay on the positive side . I know my God is holding me in His hands but I may be weaker that I have been in a while! Please pray and keep me in your thoughts! I love you all and want you to know I know from things you have said to me that you love me too. God bless you and keep you!

Have you ever eaten a cow tales? What do you think about them?

Wow! It's been quite a while since my knee has given out on me and hurt like it does right now. Makes it very hard to walk even to the restroom. I stand up and it wants to not hold me. I can't even get comfortable. It's not fun getting old and being disabled! I don't mean to be complaining but it hurts and seems to be getting worse! It usually happens during the cold damp months of the year. I hate winter and all it stands for! Summer may be warm but it at least keeps me from hurting so bad!

How many remember here just a few years ago that there was a claim that said we are all closer than we think? That we are connected within 6 people and we know someone within those 6 people that knows someone else who we happen to be connected to? Well I have notice quite a bit lately especially where some of my friends who don't know each other at all but they share the same post and talk about the same things just in different words. Maybe this is true more than we think. I believe it seems the world is definitely getting smaller to me! Do you think I will pass when I run out of room? I don't know but maybe! I do know I love all of you and appreciate all of you! God bless and have a good day!

Do unto others as "YOU" would have them do to to "YOU"! What does that mean exactly? Does it mean we treat anyone we consider different any way we decide so maybe they change how we want them to? Is that how "YOU" would really want to be treated? How would you really want to be treated just because you are different? I am glad the world is a world of diversity or we would all be puppets run by puppeteers! Some how that sounds soooo mundane Our differences is what makes us as people great! IF we were all like "I" want then you would probably be very miserably unhappy. The thing is we get one shot at life and we will make mistakes but let's do our best to not make those mistakes because we want others to be what we want and not what they want to be. Again I ask how do you want to be treated when you don't fit in the mold?

Well the report is much better than I first anticipated earlier. He told me it isn't infected as I had feared but not sure why it is so tender and sensitive this week. We went back to an earlier wrap that had worked so well to avoid the same thing this time. The reason for the switch last week was It hadn't closed any and he thought that adding the new ingredient normally helps it to heal faster He said he wants to go with what worked before twice! I am down with that!

I had a pretty bad week with my leg and as I took off the wrap to take a shower a few minutes ago I found it sure appears to have gotten infection and I don't have any idea how! I am getting ready to go in in an hour for my weekly appointment and hopefully he has an answer for me! Please keep me in your hearts and minds as I do NOT want to have a back set now after all the pain I have already gone through! I will let you know if it's okay or not!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Well the thing I have been waiting for for so long finally got here! I have never,, ever had a chair as well built and heavy duty as this one and it makes my back feel so much better! Thank God I was able to find it!

Okay I just rechecked and as it stands right now my chair has been rescheduled for delivery for sometime before the end of the day tomorrow! I hope this really does happen!

Hey >XI

I am ecstatic with the news I received from my Dr today! I had 3 open wounds coming out of last Mondays appointment and the tried something a little different to see if it would help the healing process. Today as I got there he came right in and looked at my leg and told me that both little wounds had closed completely up and the larger one had shrunk also! What this means we decided to do a trial for a week with the permanent compression stocking. This means a huge change for me. I now can take a simple shower when ever I want or need one. I will also not be tied to him every week once he decides its good enough to just do check ups every so often. People I am about to get my FREEDOM back again and be able to travel if I want . I am so thrilled! Life is good! Thank God for all His love and mercy! Keep me in your heart and prayers!

I want to congratulate the Seattle Seahawks for an amazing season capped by a very impressive win over the record holding Denver Broncos. From my perspective the Seahawks came to play and never gave the Broncos a chance to get started! I really like the Seahawk organization now that Paul Allen has brought respectability back to this organization. They have concentrated on good people who play good sound football and not thugs. To the Bronco fans this day we were beaten by a much better oppone...

There are people by the billions and maybe even trillions in this world. but only a very small percentage really impact our lives in such a way to make us a better person. I have been blessed with several who have gone out of their way to aid and assist me in ways that they have become very special to me! Tonight I want to thank God because had it not been for her I would not have the hope for better health that I now have and she takes me to the store when ever I need to go! I want to tell y...

Perfection is something to strive for and never achieved!
