UPDATE 02-17-13

All is getting much better.  Big irv came home Friday.  THANK YOU JESUS!  GLORY!  ALLELULIA!  He has home health support for two weeks.  Of course he has vehemently objected.  He will have physical therapy beginning Monday, unless he convinces the Home Health Nurse that he does not want it now.  Wants to wait until he his able to put wait on his leg.  He is only doing the touch down with his left leg.  But he is  more mobile than any of us had expected.  He left leg is so swollen that I am worried that he is moving around too much. 
 
He was so impressed to know that Lil Irv was able to stick me and get flash back for my dialysis treatment.  Lil Irv has been a God send since the wreck.  He has taken on the role for caring for his parents in addition to caring for his family!  BLESS HIM LORD!  
 
I am feeling not toooo well.  My bursor is sore.  My head is still sore!  My ribs are hurting!  My arm near the fistula is sore!  Man I am in a bad way - huh?  But this too shall past.  I am so GLAD that I was able to go to church yesterday and read the WORD OF GOD!  I was so happy to sing in the choir!  And I was just so HAPPY to see all the people of the church and the PRIESTS!  That's what I live for.  RECONSIDERING DISABILITY REITREMENT!  Not sure if want to go to work feeling so bad.  Am I feeling bad because of the wreck or the dialysis this time. 
 
To God be the glory!
 

Psalm 8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Lord's Glory and Man's Dignity.

For the choir director; on the Gittith. A Psalm of David.

8 O Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who have ^[a]displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
² From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established ^[b]strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

³ When I ^[c]consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ^[d]ordained;
⁴ What is man that You ^[e]take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
⁵ Yet You have made him a little lower than ^[f]God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
⁶ You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
⁷ All sheep and oxen,
And also the ^[g]beasts of the field,
⁸ The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

⁹ O Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

IF DIALYSIS WAS NOT ENOUGH, I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT!

My husband was taking me to the social security office on Wednesday (Jan 30, 2013) morning because they changed my dialysis to after lunch.

When on dialysis, you have to apply for Medicare which becomes your secondary for 30 months then primary.

I never had time to go so decided the opening of the morning was a GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

We started hydroplaning and the truck circled around, mind you we were traveling in pack and we hit no one and no one hit us.

We feel so blessed that God spared our lives.  The truck hit the guard rail and flipped twice and landed on the roof of the truck.

All the glass in the windows on the side were blown out.

I was thrown into the front glass:  cut my head.  The left side of head and face was swollen and I had a black eye for five days.

The seat belt did a number on me:  bruised my left hip and left ribs and across my abdomen.

I was hanging upside down in the seat.  I released the seat belt and was squatting on the roof of the truck. 

I was so weak.  My husband was pinned in the truck under the stirring wheel.  But he remained calm to tell the people (lots of angels came to our rescue - GLORY!) that I just started dialysis and was not strong enough to climb out of the truck.  Several me open my door (till this day I don't know how they dragged that door through the side of that muddy hill) all I saw was hands and feet getting me out of that truck.  I am so grateful because the window was squashed.  I could not have gotten my full figure through that access.  One lady held my scarf on my head to help put pressure on the bleeding.  One lady put a blanket on my back because it was really raining.  I could see no one's face, just hands and feet helping us.  I could hear my husband moaning every time the firemen moved him.  One tall fireman was on his knees talking to and helping Irvin.  I was so grateful that he put himself in that truck close to Irvin.  They had to cut him out of the truck.  He is much better and is at Health South for rehab. 

All for now.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR PRAYERS.

NOTHING BUT ANGELS ARE SURROUNDING US!
