Oh Lon, that sounds like Michelle. Her esophogeal cancer was from her G.E.R.D. I hope the medication works. It's not easy is it, having to leave your job, having this disease and all the other problems that we get just by being older. You are right, it all takes a lot of courage. I hope and pray Lon, that the depression will lift and life will take on a fuller meaning. I got put out of commission too if you will remember. One door closed means looking for the other to open. Sometimes, we are the door.

Pamela,
Nice of you to write to me.
but
I had a stinking fall in the back yard late morning...really rung my bell.... but I am just now quitting for the day...
Yes, I know I am blessed to have had the ability to keep going. Michelle, called, one day but I missed her call. What courage she has..
You too! Love and prayers to you today and always.
Your friend and brother
Lon

Hi Lon,
She is doing well. I really enjoyed my visit with them. I volunteered in her classroom one day and loved getting to observe her teaching. We worked together in my younger days (before disability) and she has come a long way.
She is very careful of what she eats and how much. She does know about the med that you were talking about.
I am sorry about the problems from the GERD. I hope the new med takes care of it.
It is really not easy to adjust to retirement when you aren't ready for it. I have friends and family members who have gotten to plan retirement and are so excited when it happens. For me, I was in the office on Friday and by Monday I was in the hospital never to work again. I know all of the feelings you are having.
I hope your colonoscopy tests turn out ok.
Thinking of you.

Possi,
you are right the way we retire is not real fun
but that is our task
gerd is just not fun.... the meds don not seem to help, I am going to try and suck on hard candy and see if aI can get some salava going..
lots of pain these days, but once I get going I can walk in the morning...
with this stinking right eye I am a bit perplexed at what I can do..... focusing is a bit tough
how is it with all of you today?
I keep the New Covenant,
when I fail....I am pulled
back into place by HIM.

We are ok. It is what it is. Floyd has a lot of pain with his RA and having more trouble doing things all the time. I am better. I am thankful that my eyes are open. I couldn't open them for most of the summer. Lupus is a crazy disease.
Summer is still trying to hang on here in OK. It was in the 60's today but has been in the upper 70's and low 80's and breaking records for the past few weeks. I have a lot of flowers and my roses are still hanging in. We have a cold front coming in early Sunday morning. We will think we are freezing.
My back is giving me fits but I am putting off my Rhizotomy until after the first of the year because our FL grand daughter is coming for Christmas. The Rhizotomy makes me very very sore for a while and I can deal with what is going on now until after she goes home. She is getting to the age that she won't necessarily be wanting to see grandparents so often. :o( We want to enjoy every minute we can with each of them.
I am so concerned about your eye. It seems as though they should be able to do something to correct it. I don't have very good vision in my left eye; the last cataract. Also, they think the Lupus if affecting my eyes. Bummer.
Agape,
Joyce

Belove,
I see a few are still reading....
can't stay NSD long enough to get the habit down
I have lost 30 lbs, from last year
the pain is pretty much everyday all day, but I can walk now!
cymbalta and gabapentine seem to keep me going.
I was angry for a week or so, realizing that I may be done working....
If I can help any one let me know. I enjoy being alive, I get tired and get discouraged.... But I have been really blessed and have got to do far more than I ever dreamed.

I am glad to hear you say that Lon. Every morning when I open up the drapes and look out and say "Good Morning World" I am so thankful for another day. I can walk today too!! and I could walk yesterday!! so I am better again.
