Welcome back!

Have you ever thought about what type of noises the human body makes?

I didn’t until I started to make strange noises myself. The amount of ingenuity it takes to make sure that you can keep breathing without rattling or otherwise disturbing the peace can be totally amazing.

Just trying the clear your nose to inhale, trying to keep your mouth from drying out when the nose is totally stopped up, just trying to be comfortable….well, I am glad that noises do not make me sick.

The idea that a simple cold can lay the idea of silence to rest is amazing.

I appear to have a head cold.

Yuk. phooey is absolutely the best that I can say about it.

I am grumpy, tired, aching, grumpy. Did I say grumpy twice? It is very true. My head feels as if the cotton Bowl was played in it and they forgot to remove the cotton afterwards.

I do NOT want to talk about what has been getting coughed up. The human body is not as elegant as some fashion models think that it is. The things that ooze out of it are disgusting!

I heard about the earthquake in Turkey.

When I check out the USGS for information, this is what I found - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Maps/10/45_40.php.

You can either click on the link or copy and paste in the information listed. It lists (at the time that i am typing this) 24 earthquakes in this little area alone.

These people are in dire need of prayer and support. I know they do not believe the same way that we do in the USA, but they are people nonetheless, and need help.

We did not get inspected today, but it will happen tomorrow.

Instead, had to take my husband to the Urgent Care clinic to take care of his pain and other stuff from an infection.

I, on the other hand, appear to have sprained some muscles in my hip area. When I move too much, I sound like a squawking monkey. The pain is horrible. I will survive.

If I’d known what was going to happen this year, I might have wanted mom to get some extra insurance for just in case.

Of course, the insurance would have been for my husband and I to help with all of the goings on that have been happening. I don’t know if term insurance would pay survivors of such happenings. At least it would have given us something to look forward to after all of the fuss.

Don’t get me wrong now…I am happy that mom is still going and happy herself. I was just thinking of all of the wear and tear on our nerves, health, and finances. Ug, I am still coughing and wheezing like an old accordion. I am so tired of coughing and hacking and scaring people with the way that I sound.

Mom told my husband and I that she now has a new nickname at the Hospice where she’d been staying.

They call her the “79 year old miracle baby”. Right now she is at a nearby rehabilitation center getting rehabbed for possible return to her home.

My mother-in-law still lives. Today she is going to be transferred to a nursing home for rehabilitation.

Big change from expecting her to be dead by the fifteenth.

Time will now tell whether or not she can build back her strength to be able to stay at her own place. The people at the hospice call her a ‘79 year old miracle baby’.

Remember that I had mentioned feeling like a vulture in my previous article?

Some of the things that have happened kind of give me that feeling. She has decided to give some of her stuff away before she dies so that she can decide who gets specific things. She wanted me to have her beading supplies since she knows that I have made many things from beads in the past before.

I wish that this wasn’t needed. I would rather have her, alive and healthy. As it is, time is the only thing ahead right now. She is ready to leave, and is looking forward to seeing family members that have gone ahead of her. A lot of family members have been calling her and talked to her about places and people. I am glad that they called, the time to talk to her is now, before she is gone.

The one thing among many that helps us to let go of her is that she knows Jesus. The other main thing is that she won’t hurt any longer.

It still hurts us, but soon she won’t hurt any longer.

With all that has been going on, I am worn down.

If there was a multivitamin that could give me the energy, stop the congestion in my chest, and give me back feeling in my face - I WOULD TAKE IT, in a heart beat.

At times, I feel like I am stuck in a waiting game, waiting for mom to die. Other times, I feel almost like a vulture. She is at peace with the thought of leaving, I am not sure that I am yet.

At least at the hospice, she is taken care of and does not feel any pain from her condition. Time, right now, seems to be the main enemy.

The breach in the family has been mended.

My husband went into talk to his brother, I stayed out in the van. They talked and the misunderstanding was talked about and things were mended.

At this time, knowing the grief to come (it has been edging in anyway), it is very important that there be no bad thoughts or feelings between all family members.

My husband and his brother were raised together and each is their own person with their own ways. I am very glad that things have been straightened out. Thank God for His mercy.
