Praise the lord, I have been clicking off my calendar all kinds of doctor appointments, as well as, Lynn, my husband., and for the most part they have gone very well. At this age. we cannot complain., or shouldn't!!! Yesterday, I had my final ERCP., at least, for a good while and the Lord willing I will have no more. This one seemed to leave me a bit more sore inside than the others. But I think I am well on the road to healing and hopefully will be a better night sleep tonight! An erCP is a procedure using the endoscopic route to view inside through the stomach, to the pancreas to the gall bladder..My poor gb is small and wrinkled but still doing a job .. our plan and prayer now is that it will be with me the rest of my days. Surgery to remove it is something I do not want nor do the doctors so I lean on the great Physician to keep me in His worthy hands. He certainly has been with me every step of the way!!!
I am so thankful for my husband. He is so good to me.
I would be completely lost without him. What with my immobility and multiple physical therapy sessions, this gb situation, my lack of really being too productive around the house. I can do light housekeeping and organize things and decorate rooms, but heavy things all rest on his shoulders. He is outside now mowing the grass that is growing, but thankfully, with the dry spell much of it has gone dormant/ Thank you, Lord!!
What a blessing to hear that Roe VS Wade was overturned today .. and Spirit of death on our country has been shown the door and may he return to the depths where it belongs. Lord, have mercy on our nation and bring blessing back to our government. our economy, our sensibilities! in Jesus Name!
Well, a week from today we will be very close to arriving at our daughter's home right outside of Boston. We are leaving midweek to try to stay out of July the fourth weekend traffic. It will still be slow going in several areas on our trek. This time we are staying in a new hotel midway. We have high hopes for it. The Hampton Inn we used to stay in has gone down quite a bit, especially in their morning breakfast.. That is something we always count on as there is much road before us to our destination! Things are getting very exciting, and soon we will be able to count the days to our flight to Scotland on one hand! I have packed, unpacked and packed, and unpacked and even now my check bag and personal item is pretty much unpacked. I do not wish to take too much, but the weather there can flip from spring to winter in an hour or sun to torrential rain the same. So I hadn't planned to take a checked bag but I do not want to carry coats and sweaters over my arm!😜
I am excited .. One evening of our stay in northern Scotland the kids, Daughter and son-in-law- will be dining in a Michelin restaurant on the Isle of Skye. Our accommodations are back on the mainland in a castle. But that night after we have toured Skye Lynn and I will bring the grand daughters back with us to the castle and stop in at a wonderful hotel for dinner..
This is the waterfront road in the coastal town of Plockton, very near our stay,.






oh we LOVE Boston and we were planning on going next week for the show Wicked and to spend our anniversary doing the rest of the Freedom Trail (we've done most of it) but we couldn't get ticketmaster to answer us so we gave up and are going to the Finger Lakes instead. Where in the Boston area was the HAmpton Inn?? We used to stay at the one in Danvers on the north shore and LOVED it. it was a GREAT breakfast. I do know they've downsized it due to Covid practices. At least the one in NH was less of a buffet style and more of a continental style.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful R v Wade was overturned because I believe all life is precious however i do think this is going to be difficult for women and teen girls who are raped or victims of incest. They will have to spend a lot of money to find a state willing to take them. We also need MUCH better education about safe sex (let's face it, not all teens are Christians and even then some are still having unprotected sex). And this education needs to start at HOME. ANyways...that's my opinion. Part of me is praising the Lord for the news but the other part...the social justice part is grieving. And yes i am pro life meaning i am also against the death penalty.
Dear Faith, I appreciate you concerns about social justice where young woman may be raped etc, and I would hope that each state who really cares about youthful women who find themselves in the family way would provide help through Womens health, and abortion clinics might change their services to help young women to get to a state that is doing abortions. But mainly make contraceptives readily available and teach them that preventative measures are their first choice in sex education.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your medical tests etc are over and hope you stay well. Your trip sounds lovely. Will look forward to hearing about it. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Boston. Glad the tests are over with. How exciting to look forward to a Michelin star restaurant and that you get to stay in a castle on your visit to Scotland!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so excited for your Scotland trip! Post lots and lots of photos so we can enjoy it too.
ReplyDeleteYay for the good news on your medical issues. I hope this was the last procedure.
Have a good week!
