It started off last Sunday when my ear hurt so badly that I had to go into Urgent Care.
The doctor said I had staph inside of the earlobe and he put me on a high dosage of keflex and
said to keep the earlobe warm throughout the day to help with circulation. So there I was, sick
with a warm pack on my ear and Larry lay on the couch across from me with his nose all
bandaged up from his cancer surgery. We were kind of a mess. We laughed about it though.
Anyway, I had picked up staph from taking a warm bath after being a the two different hospitals
for the last couple of weeks, while visiting Larry.. The doctor said that it wasn't contagious in a
swimming pool and that I couldn't have gotten it there. So...it's doing much better and I am
very glad. Also, Larry's nose is healing up well and he got his stitches out. His stomach has
also been healing up better, although for the last couple of weeks it was a mess...oh well.
Last night, it was soooo wonderful to go to the Italian Dinner that was put on to raise money
for my medicines that aren't covered by insurance. Oh, it was wonderful! At least 200 people
were there and it was like a reception, with an orchestra, beautiful tables with candles and
delicious food....it was so fun! I just wanted to visit with everyone. Aaron was the auctioneer
and he did a fabulous job and was very entertaining. Andrea was the wonderful organizer
behind it all with her dear mother Lisa and her crew in charge of the dinner and setting up
everything. Maria was doing a little of everything and did soo much. Joseph had made his
whistles and sold them. Carrie had put together a video but they didn't have time to show it.
I think my favorite part was when my children stood up and sang one of my favorite songs
"Top of The World". I just loved it...and smiled as they sang. It touched my heart!
If anyone is reading this blog that helped in anyway or bought something or donated money I
want you to know how much I truly appreciate your support! They brought in about $7,000,
which is way more than was expected. The goal was $5,800....so I feel at peace knowing that
my pills are covered for awhile. In the mean time I have a plan to try to get my tykerb pills
donated. So..I'm continuing to work on that little project. I am happy, and am continuing to
get well...it's exciting to be a part of a modern day miracle. May the Lord bless each of you that
may be reading this blog with your own challenges. The Lord blesses us according to our
desires, faith, and God's will.
