...And More Changes

I returned from Germany on a Saturday and was just having a fit to get to church for worship.  I am not sure why it was particularly emotional for me, personally!  I was just to grateful and blessed to be home with people that love me.

After about 3 hours I returned home and flopped on the couch.  The pain began to increase.  I have a few options to handle the pain, but since I am unable to swallow anything (not even water)...the options are only a few.  By Monday my daughter and big sister had made the decision to take me to hospice.  They helped get the pain under control, but not without being 24/7 on a morphine drip.

I fought to go home for christmas, with much resistance.  I finally got to go home on an I.V. pole of morphine and Nutrition.

  2. God is GOOD. I'm glad you were able to come home, although I'm sure just the trip took a lot out of you. Home is good for the soul. It's good to be with people who have known you before you had this illness. Your soul always shines.... Thinking of you and praying for you. Kathy

  5. "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Revelation 21:3,4 (KJV)
