The food has been so good. People have signed up at church to bring a meal to us three nights a week. Let me tell you, we have needed each one. Sometimes, when I get to that time of the evening, I can't even think about supper or the plans for it. Having something to put on the table is great. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

As far as I go, it's slow. I feel better but have began to have shaky hands. I don't know where it comes from because I've asked the neurosurgeon if it was something they did and he said no. If I drink or eat or type or just about anything where my hands take a starring role, I shake like an old man with palsy.

I am expecting Dan's parents to leave pretty soon. They have been here to help and help they have! I appreciate family so much. I don't know how others do without.

Otherwise, I am slipping back into a routine. My body says no a couple times a day and I have to sit or lay on the couch until I get the strength to go again.

Please pray for me. Pray that God heals me and I want my shakiness to go away. Pray that I have the strength for the things that are important.  Pray that He will be glorified through all of this.

Love to you all.

What is the Difference Between Neurosurgeon and Neurologist

So, tomorrow I head to the cities to have a cat-scan and another appointment with my neurosurgeon. I've been calling him my neurologist but my oncologist says I shouldn't call him that. He's a neurosurgeon and apparently, the difference between the two is about seven figures. If you care about that kind of thing. :)

Anyway, I feel like I've done some major grumping lately. I'm sorry. I start feeling sorry for myself, wondering what I ever did to deserve this and before I know it, I'm completely depressed. I'm not immersing myself in the Word if I'm feeling sorry for myself.

I'm trying to find the "thankful" in each day. A friend reminded me in a text that God's Word says to be thankful in everything. I know I haven't been doing very good at that lately.

Pray for me, would you? Pray that I would see God each day, that I would be thankful for what He is doing in my life and that I would see Him heal me. I can do NOTHING without Him.
