What a DAY yesterday was!

What a day we had yesterday. The whole day was a good day
in-spite the incident with deer. It began with a wonderful breakfast at home. We then drove 40 minutes to my Physical Therapy appointment where I am fighting muscle atrophy. After we drove 2 hrs and 40 minutes to go to my pulmonary appointment, we ate lunch on the way at Arby's. This is where I received a shot of special medication (done every 2 weeks) and met with my Pulmonary Specialist"s Nurse Practitioner (once a month unless there is a problem with my condition). We were there a while.

After, it was time for dinner. Very relaxing with great food for a low cost at Cheddar's. $27 +tip, not bad. We had to stop once for gas in between appointments. Anyway, after dinner we drove to a few locations just to look around.

We began home fairly early, but it got dark pretty fast on the way. About 20 minutes from home, this HUGE Buck decided to jump into the road. Immediately, Ralph slams on the breaks as soon as he saw the deer. I looked up, my body swung forward, held back by the seat belt, my glasses flew off my face, my cell phone flew onto the dashboard, my body was in the air for just seconds. My arms hit something and legs were held back after my feet were jammed into the floor board under the dash. My left foot, the toes were bent leaving me wondering if my toe was broken. I was numb, in pain, and in shock. Ralph didn't fly anywhere, just sat there as he tried to slam on the breaks holding the wheel. The car stopped.

I could see the deer with it beautiful horns and stout body. It's hind side hit center front and the head side hit the left front side. Crushing the body frame, but the under frame may be stronger than expected, we were able to drive it home. Not sure, the hood won't open. At first Ralph couldn't open his door. But with his strength, he manage to pry open the door, so he could get out an look before we decided to drive off. He opened it enough to squeeze himself out of the door. The deer took a leap in the air and flipped to the left side of car and than got up and ran off.

We prayed before driving off. It was shortly after I could feel my toe. The pain was still there. After arriving home, Ralph spoke of having a headache and was stiff a little, but no pain. The only mark on him is a blood mark on his left arm where we assume he hit the steering wheel. I took one Tylenol before bed.

This morning Ralph walks as though nothing happened. Me, I am not dizzy anymore and my vision is not blurred anymore, but I am still stiff and sore. We called our insurance, working on estimate etc. turns out our deductible is $500 we don't have. Yikes!

Thankfully we have Aaron's old car, which will be Matt's future first car. Not sure how all this will turn out, but I am not loosing hope. Trusting God for healing and provisions.

Labor Day Status 2016

We stayed home.  My husband painted primer on garage walls and ceiling.   My son helped.

They ran out of primer paint. When my husband drove down town in this small secluded area,  everything was closed for the day.  This put a halt on the progress they were making in the garage. 

This garage is the future home of my sewing, quilting,  painting, drawing, crafting room.

How was your Labor Day?

This Weekend - This Year's Homecoming

When we moved here last year, We had everyone talking about the homecoming weekend. I didn't know what they were talking about. It is basically a weekend Thursday through Sunday, where the whole community celebrate their class reunions. People out of state drive or fly in and everybody gathers down town to have all sorts of events. Hog wrestling, cow tipping, truck pulls, outhouse races, etc. There are different bands hired to perform different nights. There is a carnival team hired to bring rides, games, etc. Ending with a community service Sunday night outdoors in the square.

GOOD memories made and fun times had.

A little about me.

This year started out wonderful. With the winter season, I felt as fit as any healthy human being. I didn’t have to use a nebulizer machine at all. The machine is something I have to use to take breathing treatments, which are medicines that my doctor wants me to inhale with air. The air causes painful gases sometimes. I was glad I didn’t need to use the machine during this time.

Then spring set in. Oh my gosh! With out warning, my body took a dive. I was struggling to interact with others verbally and physically. During our VBS week, I was limited in my abilities. I was able to run the sound system, video, and mics. I couldn’t sing and dance, so the organizers gave me a few helpers. I was very appreciative of their help. For those of you who are wondering what VBS stands for, it is an acronym for Vacation Bible School.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, June 14, my body went down. No movement! I didn’t have the strength to hold my body up. Oh that wasn’t the end, my vocal cords weren’t producing a sound, not even a whisper. I didn’t have enough oxygen in my body. I was put on oxygen. In time, I was able to come off of it, but today, Sept 2, I find myself back on it. Basically caught a cold and my body was struggling. The oxygen helps the muscles to get the oxygen it needs and my lungs can relax. I have been on antibiotics now for 5 days. I think it worked. I hope I am at the end of this cold. I wish I could say my severe lung disease was over, but they say this condition will remain the rest of my life. YUCK! NOT Happy about that. BUT What CAN I DO about it except keep praying asking God to heal me.

I feel like Paul, when God tells him, in his weakness, I am strong. I feel like God tells me that His strength is sufficient and through my weakness, He will prevail. I can only hope my life brings the Lord the glory He deserves. I don’t like, not being allowed to work in my field of study. A few weeks ago, I had a follow up with one of my three specialist, the lungs, and She said to hold off on returning just yet. To wait until the Xolair gets into my system, to see if that will help improve my body. Well one month later and 3 shots of Xolair, I have not seen or felt much improvement. It could be this summer and rain weather. All I know, I now have been sent by three doctors to physical therapy rehab at the hospital. I will be evaluated to determine course of action to regain strength in my body. Which I think is ironic. Why ironic? Because when I was 13 ish, I began working out with aerobics and my first weight system was a DP, red seats and silver metal bars. I haven’t seen one of those since my early teens. I have new equipment sitting around, because as my body got weak, I couldn’t use them. Now, I am being sent to a rehab facility to use their equipment and have guidance. To teach me how not to over do it. Because if I work out and over do it, I beat the purpose of stabilizing my lung disease.

Anyway, I have found NEW interests. Sewing, painting, drawing, crafting, wood working, screen painting , airbrushing, quilting, designing, re-upholstery, and an old, old favorite, audio/video production. I guess you could say, I am re-finding myself. I will take you guys with me on my journey.

If you would follow me, I’d appreciate it. Please comment. I will do my best to reply promptly.

For now, I will finish here. I look forward to your encouraging words.

Update on 'gs Page' Channel

I recently DELETED my old videos.  I have a few cell phone clips I uploaded to my channel to basically inform the people of what the hold up is in getting new videos uploaded. 

Yesterday, I was live, but connection was bogged down and video froze, so I removed it.  I am looking forward to making new videos.  My old videos were family videos of my kids.  I took highlights of their game and made a small video, or a Christmas program they performed in. Before 2010, I also had a few documentary videos I made for my work or my community.  Not sure if I will upload those. 

This year, I have videos on my channel as a way of showing my aunt the colors of the fabrics I was using in a quilt I was making.  The sessions were long and dull.  I decided to remove once I knew my family members interested had a chance to view.  

I am planning to remove the dullness, I hope,  However, there will be a few videos that will be long, basically a time where my online buddies can link to me and see what I am working on at the same time chat with me via sms chat window.  I wish I could afford the Adobe connect where we can connect share video and audio, not just sms texts.  I know google hangouts is a good way of doing this, but they made changes I think.  I noticed a new service for the whiteboard is separate now from hangouts tools and you have to pay for it.  BUMMER!  I am on a limited income, can't afford that.  Unless, I had several people actively communicating with me.  I would be inspired to cough up the money.  I like the plug-ins it had to offer as well.  Like a person can call via any phone or cell line into a chat and participate verbally.  That is cool.

Anyway, I know I don't want the hangouts business, because this is mainly a social ministry site.  In-spite what some might say, ministry is not a profitable business.  Google Hangouts Business is a bit steep for us.

Anyway, please look at the calendar above for when I will be live.  I will post days and times. Than the link below will take you to the live session.  

This is a link to me when live.
