it's way early

it is so early. i have got to quit staying up till 11:00 . hahahaha
nothing boring about me. Bree asked that I come over and watch mojo until 2 so she can run her yard/garage sale. hope she does well. if i get any pictures, i will post later. had a great bible study yesterday. "Living above stress and worry."

Sweater wear

 
Hey Mary!!
here is the sweater so far. around 7 inches or so. I haven't been knitting anything since you left i started on a shawl with this yarn but when i got my magazine and you said you were making the sweater, i decided to knit the same one. i had better get a move on. winter is creeping in like a lamb.

hope gary is well, as well as the other lesters.

larry and i are fine. work is dribbling in. i may soon be on a forced diet. hahahahaha

well, the Lord provides, as always. no frets.

 
here are my Michigan grandkids, Shelby and Alex last April

ok, i'm done

i got my total right hip replacement on july 22 of this year. 2 major surgeries done in 7 months. but im pretty sure im done. hope no more surgeries ever. still recovering, but doing well. i am going to try to post a little more often.

hip, hip, hooray!!

well, i now have a new hip. at least on the left side. things are progressing nicely. i hope to soon be off the walker. although that seems like a long, long distant aspiration. I hope to never have to go through this again.

i am praying for rapture before the hip wears out or the need for a new right one occurs.

well, very tired tonite and no christmas pics to show. sooo. love to all

maranatha!!!

 

Above is the wedding pictures of my In-laws.We lost Herman about 7 years ago and we lost Larry's mom, Alice, on Wednesday the sixth. We flew down on Sunday and there was a very nice service at her church on Monday and we buried her on Tuesday. Alice was a peach of a mother in law. She never told me what to do. She would simply tell me what or how she would do something and then if I did it differently (badly) she never said I told you so. She was a grand lady. And she will be missed. She was 81 and ready to go home. It is so much easier to watch them go when you know that they are going to heaven.

Sherry and Bill, (sister and brother in law) made all the arrangements and did a wonderful job. It was a very touching and beautiful service. And the Auburndale Community Church did a fine job ministering to us. They prepared a funeral service fit for a queen. If you are in that area, please attend the services there.

I will be having hip surgery on the 20th. I can't wait. I have decided to go with the epidural because I get so sick after general anesthesia. With all the tests and such, this next week will fly by and it will be over before i know it. pray for a quick recovery

Just a little sad

tomorrow is my little sisters b-day. is it possible that she is 48!!!??? that's just crazy talk!!

bummer

well, got my diagnosis, the old girl needs a new hip. drat!! went to a surgeon who said he would not operate on me because of my weight and because of being on remicade. remicade destroys my immune system making me vulnerable to infections. so...........i have decided to see another surgeon. if he says no also, i will accept it as God's will for my life for the time being. i refuse to let this get me down. maybe God is slowing me down for a reason. glenna <><

Maranatha!

Whew!

well, i certainly have had my fill of doctor visits this week. no results yet of course. waiting, waiting, waiting...........

i was asked a weird question after my mri on my hips but i am not mentioning it yet until i get a diagnosis. it is all very nerve wracking. but larry is back home from conneticut sooo, i think i will feel a little better now. my energy level is so low. it is only 9 a.m. now and i am ready to kick back and knit a little and nap a little.

i have only been up for an hour. what a lazy girl!!
