Well, I had the most fabulous night of sleep last night. I slept six hours without interruption, not even a turn....I woke up at 5:15 without having moved from the spot I laid down on...and then after going to the bathroom and fell back to sleep in no time at all. It was a hard day yesterday, so it was so welcome.
Yesterday was a busy day, did a lot of cleaning, visiting, errands and church. All the activities during the day caused my back to ache a lot. During church I had to sit down during almost all the long standing for readings etc. and then I made the stupid mistake of standing in to distribute Communion, and I thought I would collapse....but rocked from side to side putting pressure in different positions and praying to make it through. When I got back to sitting down, I thanked God for getting me through this and asked for strength to go on....I guess I kinda talked a lot to my mom and thought about my upcoming CTscan and how I was feeling so weak. I came home and somehow finished the laundry and finally took a couple of extra strength Tylenol and crawled into bed about 11:45....did a few more prayers and fell asleep only to wake at 5:15 in no pain what so ever. I can't say that it is completely gone today, but I feel so much better.
I did have some great visits yesterday as well, and comments on my Facebook status. Bonnie Sass came over for a short visit, and brought me a gift back from Sedona. A beautiful friendship statue, of three people (she dubbed as me, her and Lois Bjerke) standing in a circle holding a bowl. Then at Cub while shopping I ran into LaVonnew Kulseth, and visited with her and talked about miracle's being possible, and that I've already experienced a few of them. Then at church I sat next to Alice Johnson and her husband Richard, and also talked to Kathie Fritz, Caroline Buhr, Lorraine and Donna Utech (who I had just received a beautiful Easter card in the mail from) getting hugs and love, and also got a beautiful message on my phone from daughter-in-law Karen. All of this must have added to all the feelings of love and prayers coming my way and overwhelming me at church.
Today, I have some more cleaning to do, another trip to HP to pick up the prescriptions I dropped off yesterday, and then I will pick up Carol Kline and take her with me to the Living Stations that the teens at our church will be presenting at 3 p.m.
The cabin landscaping is now complete (well except for the new grass seeds to grow), and I can't wait to go to the cabin and see the results.
Lottie Virnig sent a very positive Caringbridge message yesterday, so I think she is well on the mend. Louie and his wife celebrated their birthdays yesterday, and they are busy celebrating this Holy Week as well. So that's all the news for now. Love and Prayers, m
