Welcome back!

There is a silent killer among us.

Those with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other illnesses, should be made aware.

Strokes are not always easily seen, or recognized. There is a website that talks about strokes and some of the warning signs.

This is a link to the site. Please read about the warning signs, and then be aware of yourself, your family, and your friends. Don’t let this killer hurt any more unnecessarily.

I have been in pain. I tried to use Amitriptyline, but I did not like the way that it clouded my mind, so I stopped it. Notified the doctor’s office, managed to straighten out my checkbook which I fouled up. Managed to pay our rent before the landlord had a conniption fit. I do not like being muddled.

Now, I am having trouble with clamps, I mean cramps. Bladder spasms is what the medical people call it. I cal it ARGH otherwise known as PAIN. When they happen, it feels as if someone is trying to rip out my guts, one piece at a time. Right now, I am sore inside, as if someone kicked my in the gut - HARD. Thankfully I have some naproxen sodium to add to my regular pain meds.

There is some concern in my mind about the things that have been happening lately.

Having to pack, the cancer on my husband, people that we care about getting sick. It is not like I am going to punch cigars into people’s mouths and say congratulations on what has been happening.

I can see people getting excited about babies. This other stuff, though, does wear on you and on the rest of your family.

We finally heard back from the doctor about those things that were removed from my husband. Some good news, some bad.

Spot 1 - cheek bone, no biopsy, but it is healing nicely.
Spot 2 - the back of his neck was a basil cell carcinoma. The doctor will check it again in 3 months.
Spot 3 - the growth on his back was another basil cell carcinoma. When they examined it, they said that it looked as iff it had been completely removed just by getting the biopsy sample.
Spot 4 - the growth on his eyelid was normal skin, just a little tag.
Spot 5 - the sore on his arm proved to be a basil cell carcinoma, but it was slightly different than the others. This type tries to send out roots. The doctor will be performing an operation on the 23rd of this month. It will be a Mose surgery. They will cut, examine it, and if necessary, go back in and cut some more in little slivers until they get clean tissue and there is no more of the cancer. This usually has a 98% cure rate with no returning cancer.

The spot still itches on his arm and sometimes, it even burns. So we will see what happens.

We still haven’t heard from the doctor, yet about those biopsies that were done on my husband on the 26th.

Some of the spots that were biopsied have already healed. The one on his arm that caused the appointment to begin with has not yet healed. That one is trouble and has been trouble for the past year.

The doctor froze it, burned it, and it still is open and not healed. That makes twice that it was frozen by doctors. I don’t know what to think about it.

Well, my husband saw the dermatologist today. The doc immediately started to snip and take biopsy samples.

By time he was done, my husband had a few bandages on him and new instructions on how to take care of the different sites.

In a couple of weeks, we will be hearing from the doctor as to whether or not those things were cancerous or not.

My skin tone is okay, so far.

I know of some people who have trouble with oily skin, eczema, and other stuff. What the eczema causes are, I have no idea.

I figure that the doctors should know the best medications for getting rid of it. I have never had to go to a dermatologist. My husband has an appointment with one coming up. He has a sore on his arm that he got when messing with his motorcycle as it blew some gaskets. It sometimes opens and bleeds. His regular doctor has tried to freeze it to get it to dry up, but that hasn’t yet worked. So in the near future, he will find out what a visit to the dermatologist is like. I hope that the diabetes he has isn’t the cause of that sore not healing.

A young lady in our church is expecting her first baby.

She loves the Lord, has family supporting her, but she is scared. I do not know if she is taking prenatal vitamins or not. I hope that she is.

Her name is Mindy. She also could use your prayers. We all want her to stay healthy, and finally have a healthy baby. We do not yet know if the baby will be a boy or a girl. Either way, that baby will be welcomed into the church with a lot of love.

Our church loves babies. The youngest member of our congregation is called Arissa. She is usually passed around from one lap to another and cuddled everywhere she goes.

This is a request for prayer from any one who believes and prays.

Becky Ballard, the wife of our pastor is in the hospital. The hospital has said that she has had 2 heart attacks. She is loved greatly and we do not want to lose her.

Her husband Milton is fighting his own fight with COPD.

Please pray for both of them.

I do wonder about my bones. I am over weight, and have had a broken bone or two in my life.

Of course I didn’t know about it at the time, found out later that they had been broken. I need some diet pills that really work. I need to lose weight even without any exercise.

I have yet to hear about those pills. All of the pills that I’ve heard about also mention exercise. It’s not that I think it is a dirty word, I just am unable to do the exercise. Right now as I sit here typing, my ankle is wrapped and I have been limping. I wish that I had taken 2 canes with me to the hospital with mom today.
