Happy Valentine's Day Surgery

10:15 pm
Trust, trust, trust.  The Lord is with us. The Lord will provide. The Lord knows. It will be alright.

Heavy sigh.....received a call yesterday that another more immediate surgery needs to take precedence over Mike's surgery on Tuesday. At first it was going to be postponed until next Tuesday, because that's the only day the Dr. does surgeries, but graciously (Thank you, Lord!) he made an exception and Mike's surgery is Valentine's day. Arrive at 10:45am, surgery at 12:45.  Of course, Mike cannot have anything to eat or drink after midnight, so please pray for us that morning.  He likes his food! Thankfully, I am allowed to give him his regular meds.

Yesterday was a fantastic day.  We ran an errand for the farm, Mom fixed lunch and had Hugh, TR, Coley, & Erin join us, we finished trimming and cleaning out around the rose bed, took a walk, and Mike sat and read the Bible for quite a while.  He got hung up on a few phrases with some interesting twists and sat in Dad's golf cart and tried to get it going for a half hour or more, but all in all, much improved.  This morning he was a bit frantic and has had several repeating episodes today. We went for a walk and his body seemed to become too heavy for his legs or something and he started to fall over.  I was trying to stabilize him, but we both fell. No one hurt and thankfully, one of the farm workers was close by and came and got Mike up for me. We rested at the horse barn for a bit, then walked some more before calling Mom to come and get us. I have the sweetest Mom. Before we arrived on Saturday, she had cleared out the closet in the middle bedroom and all the drawers in the dresser and chest of drawers so that we could move in.  It's so much easier than living out of a suitcase and was so thoughtful. We've never had so much drawer space!  We've always shared a dresser.    Thanks, Momma, I love you!

Am feeling especially weary and drained tonight.  Mike has been sleeping, or at least staying in the bed the whole night for several nights. I've had a couple of good nights sleep when I take medication, but then feel sort of woozy in the morning. No meds last night and very little sleep.  Had something from a devotional I wanted to share, but it's upstairs and I'm ready to call it quits for tonight.  Will share another time. Coveting you prayers and God's healing touch.
