TODAY
Today we took Pop for another doctor’s appointment. He’s doing ok but, they are going to do an out patient surgery on his prostate and when he recuperates from that they will go in and remove a kidney stone also try to remove the stint from the left kidney. Modern medicine never ceases to amaze me.
Pop is not getting better as fast as they told us he should but he shows improvement everyday. His nausea stays with him and his feet ache a lot. The doctor says it’s because of all the hardware that is in him. Once he gets that removed he should feel better.
Just when I think my world is crashing in, all I have to do is look around. This time it is just next door. Our neighborman’s son (who is about 30, and has a wife and a couple children) was boating on the river near here with 2 of his friends. They went under a bridge which the highway was doing constuction on. There was an unmarked cable hanging down in the water, and when the boat went under it, the cable came up and beheaded the neighbor’s son. The other 2 were unharmed.
GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO US. I CAN’T PRAISE AND THANK HIM ENOUGH.

Pop must be having a hard time being a mindful patient and not up and about as usual … you must have your hands full with keeping him on bed rest. How tragic for your neighbor’s family. I’m hoping the son knew the Lord.
I’m trying to post some pictures of a terrible hail storm that moseyed on in hanging around with a magnificent lightening and thunderstorm for over three hours tonight. I suspect all of my flowers will be flattened and torn apart when the sunrise reveals God’s powerful handiwork that ripped through our area. Our local farm must have been hit hard … I wonder what the fields look like now!
