Thursday, 12/4/25, Maddy was supposed to come but has sinus infection, On week two where I’m up 5 min an hour, than foot elevated again., Bill had appt. and X’ray of hip, Met Ross at VA, Had zoom meeting with State Coordinators in evening

Lots of birds coming to window feeders today.  A big red cardinal was just on it.  I moved too slow.  My Christmas Cactus has blossoms all around it this year.  It always has done one side at a time before.  So fun to watch!  

I slept in the recliner again.  Went to just taking Tylenol yesterday.  Doing fine and am pain free.  Yay.  I am to walk for 5 minutes every hour this week.  In the morning, I’m up longer as it takes time to get ready.  I made me my coffee this morning.  I also had a bowl of blueberries, 2 Clementines, and 2 string cheese sticks.  I sprinkled a little sugar on the blueberries.

I messaged Maddy to see what time it worked for her to come over today and she said she had been in Urgent care and has a sinus infection which they gave her an antibiotic for and also Brielle has the same thing.  They wouldn’t give her anything.  Maddy was taking her to the doctor and I found out later he put her on a steroid.  I sure am praying for their healing and for Alec and Mason not to get it.

Bill went to his VA appt.  He had an X-Ray on his hip and he got a call later saying he had degenerative disease and bone on bone.  They have to try therapy first and then they will approve surgery if that doesn’t help.  I laid hands on him and prayed for him, and am continuing to pray.  He ran into Ross at the VA so they had breakfast together.  

I warmed up some pizza for lunch and did good getting everything to my seat.  The G’s pizza was still delicious.  I took good walks around the house every hour.  My leg is working so well, so following doctor’s orders pays off.  

I listened to good worship in the daytime and in the evening.  Beautiful music from the Chosen Christmas.  Love really focusing on the true meaning of Christmas and what God did.  Such awesome love. 

Around 6, Bill and I read our Bibles.  I fell asleep when I was reading my last chapter of Esther.  It was so good, but next thing I knew I was in a deep sleep.  Bill called my name kind of panicky and said he forgot he had a zoom meeting with Jay and all of the State Coordinators for CMA.  He said I had to get it on the computer for him.  I couldn’t even find where it said my mail was.  I told him I couldn’t.  After a few minutes, I woke up enough to help him.  He was sitting on his recliner on the loveseat next to mine.  Well, my phone rang and it was Vikki, but I couldn’t talk because the zoom meeting was going to start, then Melissa called but I couldn’t talk for same reason, then Gayla called and same thing.  The zoom meeting started and I told Bill to make sure he didn’t aim the computer so I was in vies.  I did my best to lay back and keep a blanket between me and him.  The computer battery was getting low so, I had to hand him the charger cord which went over me and plugged into the computer.  Now I was trapped and couldn’t even move if I had to.  The zoom meeting went for 1 hour and 20 minutes.  I sure did some praying that it would get over quickly.  It was a great meeting with all giving input about the year and the CMA chapters and leaders.  They are all doing a great job and Jay really told them so.  They all prayed for me at the end, then it was over and I could get up and head to the bathroom.  I didn’t call Gayla back because she doesn’t stay up late, but I did get to talk to Vikki and Melissa.  I sure had another weird dream again too.  I will be glad when I am totally off medicine.  It won’t be long.  I slept good other than the dreaming and trying to wake up from it.  

I am excited that Kimmy is coming to spend the day tomorrow.  Vikki is too.  Have to call Melissa to see.
