If I Can't Have Seven, I'll Take Three!

For the past two weeks, the reaction to my medication has been a little more consistent. Is that good? Maybe. But 'good' just doesn't seem to reconcile with extreme fatigue. Man! I know what it means to be fatigued. Every fiber of my being seems to cry out for rest sometimes, and that's just what I do. I stop and rest.

Walking from the church parking lot to the church, and then up the hallway to the church foyer, part of which is inclined, can be quite a task. Yesterday, as we were in the hallway, a 90 year old woman who walks two miles a day, came 'sprinting' by, saying, "Hello, how are you today." I told Janis, "You'll just have to wait on me while I take my time."

I really hope that this doesn't stretch out much longer. Four days a week is long enough, but that's about how it has been for the past two weeks.

This morning, I took Momma to the doctor. I am feeling stronger and I suppose I'll get stronger each day, but then comes Wednesday. After church Wednesday night, I will come home and 'shoot' myself again. Hey! That really sounds like a boring church service to have someone go home and shoot themselves, doesn't it? :) Really, Sis. Maloney is a great teacher and I enjoy it. But, I have to give myself the "Peg-Intron" shot with the "Redipen" once a week. If next week is like the last two, then Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be my worst days. Thank the Lord for three pretty good days. 'Seven is coming.'

Hang in there! I talked to the lady I work with who has been through all that and she said that your symptoms are completely normal! She is a Christian and said to tell you that she is praying and believing for a miracle! Did momma tell you that I'll be up there for your appointment on July 5th? I believe that was the Lord working it out so that I can go back to work with a miraculous testimony! Just keep the faith! I love you diddy! Love, Jennifer

I haven't been reading or blogging as much. But I just wanted to add to what Jennifer said about a miraculous testimony. You can have a testimony without the test. AND...without Jesus you have the test and get the moanies. :)
I love you! & pray for you!

Hey man! Sorry to miss your call Sunday afternoon. Well...I was laying out by the pool!
I think you and mom got it all worked out. You're a great son!! She told me that it was just Jon's setting, etc. I had only taught her to comment as anonymous.
I sure hope you're feeling good soon. I know that I can't imagine what all you're going through! I love you and I will keep praying for you.
I really liked Jon's new music blogs. That's cool. I know you're proud of him. :)
Love ya bro, your "little" sister.

I should be - and I really am - thankful that I only had pneumonia. I can only pretend to empathize - 3 weeks of pneumonia was too much & I didn't want to get dressed either. You've already made it a lot more weeks than that! Sounds like YOU ARE the STRONG one! You are already a great testimony. Thru it All! Love, your "favorite" niece. :-)
