LOWER HALF, THEN UPPER HALF OF THE BODY
I am referring to areas of my body that have been afflicted with various illnesses recently. These are hopefully somewhat short term but nonetheless miserable. I have already journaled about my trips to the hospital precipitated by severe abdominal pain 2 weeks ago. There is no diagnosis or explanation for my misery during that time. Hopefully it won't return.
Last Friday I began to evidence symptoms of the upper chest and head cold that so many have had--really sore throat, loss of voice, cough, stuffy head and sinus--you know the feeling! It was a miserable weekend and I didn't feel much like spending any time in front of a computer. Sunday was horrible--for me and the church. I felt miserable and sounded as bad. The poor people had to suffer through an unpleasant-sounding presentation of God's Word. Everyone was very gracious. It is hard to get any rest day or night with all the coughing. My left ear canal has been seriously affected with this miserable stuff. I'm hoping to feel better soon. I do hope next Sunday isn't as miserable for everyone as last week.
Other than my miserable-sounding voice, we had a great day at church. People are so receptive to God's Word. And the new Sunday school format was well received and well attended. Never have we had so many stay on a Sunday morning for the study of His Word. And the class was excellent. God showed up in a big way.
Tomorrow Karon and I go back to her orthopedic surgeon to see what is the next step. She's hoping to be allowed to do more. One big question for him will be can she have the MRI the Oncologist has order for later this month. They want to do an ultra sound and an MRI to determine what is going on with the abnormalities showing up on the right ovary and the liver. We're praying it is just a "false positive" and not the spread of the cancer. But God knows and is in control of it all. Your prayers are appreciated and valued highly.
