RETIREMENT PARTY

Retirement party was excellent!  THANK U JESUS for bringing me this far!  Glory!  Never would have believed I would have made it this far!  But God saw fit to move me along, carry me along, roll me along!  Thank you Lord for such a wonderful accomplishment.   GOOD FOOD. GOOD FRIENDS.  GOOD MUSIC. Had my husband, mother, son, daughter in law, 5 grand kids, my nephew and his girl friend!  Saw friends I had not seen in years!   

Now I am so tired!  My back is killing me.  Know I will fall asleep during dialysis!  But it's time to dialyze!  

All for now!

RETIREMENT #1 (playlist)

RETIREMENT #1 (playlist)

These are the songs at the beginning of my retirement party!

Tired!

Five hours at work today!   So tired!  Got a lot done.  But a lot to go to empty my office!  I have had a cold (I think!).  Been coughing up phelm for about two weeks!  Or more.  My eyes are so dry!  

Much better now

Last night was so tough!   I went to work for ~5 hours on yesterday.  Had to walk to IT so they can reset my blackberry.  My hips cramped so bad!   Had to to sit in the conference room, in the dark of course, until my cramps subsided.  Then went to bathroom.   My hips cramped again so bad I could not use the bathroom.   So I sat there until I could get myself together.  Walked back yo my desk only to really need some water.  So I crippled walk to the break room to get a cup of ice and buy bottle of water.  I had to keep rocking side to side to keep the hip cramps in check.  Man I really know my decision to retire is RIGHT!  Have to take care of myself and get to the gym. For God's sake, I have free gyms at work, that I can use after retirement!  Been watching a lot of tennis.  I have a cold that's lasted two weeks.  I sit in this dialysis chair all day.  I did walk for 2 days, once to the mailbox.  That's a good walk to work out my new aorta valve!  The bottoms of my feet burn so bad.  It's as if I am walking bone on the floor, with no meat padding under foot.  Such a funny description, but that's how I feel.  I cough a lot, also.  But trying to let orange juice clear up the phelm in my nasal passages and chest.  But then I have severe gout pains in my left thumb joint at the hand.  Lord have mercy!  Sweat back my hair every night!  KNOW I AM RAMBLING, but this is how my thoughts are coming out!  You can look at my pic and tell I am whipped.  I threw up all my dinner last night after dialysis!  Man I believe I am taking off too much every night.....1 kilo.  Will start drinking more water during day.  I mostly drink cranberry juice and orange juice when I am at home. About to go to store and get some bottled water.  

Interrupted by phone call.  I spend my every wake hour trying to solve my family's problems.   Lord when I graduate?  All for now!

Thank you Lord for all you do and don't do for me.  Love how you comfort me in my time of need!  

Glory! Hallelulia! Thank you Jesus!

Feel good

I made chicken salad tonite. Thank U Jesus for stamina.  My body is so stiff from cold weather. Did stop by wellness center and got two applications for Irv and I. Called BCBS to see if we get discount membership. Twenty minute wait on call.  Hung up after 6 minutes. Tried website. Still don't know if we will receive discount. It's about $80 per month to join. Really need to exercise more. Will do.  

Irv and I drive to the curb to get the garbage cans and the mail.  Must get back to walking. Once docs figure out what's wrong with Irvs back, hips and knees. That would be great!   

Time to prepare for dialysis!

JMI

Now online health monitor

Just signed up with BCBS!

Ugh!

Now accountable!

Ok! Another New Year! Making plans. Check, first step done. Checking them twice. Ready to move out.

Another days journey and I'm glad about it! Rainy and cold. But, it's warm in my heart to have another chance to serve him!

So thankful

Pinterest while dialyzing. Lots of time to think. God has been good to me. My life has been revived from near death so many times! God has things for me to do! Just getting ready so when it's time I can move out and do his will.  It's hard to take little things for granted. Know others with same chronic illness not doing so well. Have to thank God minute by minute. So in love with him for not only what he brought me out of but also what he didn't let me go through. THANK U JESUS! GLORY!

THANKFUL!

Just thankful for another year! Thinking if I was in heaven, not ready to go now, God and I would be joking about all the stupid stuff he has gotten me out of. Man there were some duzzies. Wow! I'm still hear! He would ask me what was I thinking. And I would reply that I wasn't. Let emotions take over. But through it all he still loved me and protected me. A little more girded up, I am ready for 2014!
