Thursday's Thoughts...

Well now, didn't think I could think of a good name for Thursday. Maybe it isn't such a good name, maybe a little lame. Oh well...

Jim is getting a vehicle ready for me to take. He's more worried about me driving it than Beckie. How insulting is that? I wouldn't do it if I didn't think I could. I do know my limits, usually. Well, sometimes... Hmmm... I'll let it go at that and hope that everyone prays:) I'm just teasing. No, I've learned to know my limits. I'll be fine. Really.

We are leaving from Beckie's house at 9:30. My appointment is at 1:30. Hopefully all goes well and we are out of there quickly. I have so many of you that wished you could take me. You all warm my heart, you really do.

Well, I'll be back this evening. Praying for all of you today.

Wednesday's Whisperings...

I slept in today. Didn't even call off work. I am totally away from reality. ARGH!

Today I need to make calls. Dr. K has been so good to me. He and his nurse called me several times yesterday to see how I was doing and to tell me what the neurosurgeon said.

Well, Peoria doesn't want me. I feel so very un-loved:) I wanted my choices narrowed, so I guess that is happening. I am now waiting to hear from a call from Chicago. They see big $$$$ when my name comes up. I seem to be a hard case, for some reason. argh! argh!

Sweet Beckie offered to take me to Chicago. She must be out of her mind -- driving in Chicago traffic? Oh my! I am very touched that she would offer. I am hoping that things work out that Jim will be able to do it. If I have to wait until next week, I will do that. As long as I know I will get relief soon, I'm pretty sure I can handle it.

And Wednesday continues, with or without me... school goes on... not to be missed... guess that's a good thing!

New News:

Tomorrow Beckie and I are going to Chicago. She has most graciously offered to take me and I humbly accepted. I will be forever grateful to this new friend of mine. The plan is to have my shunt drained off and hopefully get relief.

Teetering on Tuesday

Not sure how Tuesday is going to shape up:) I am in bed, so dizzy and headachey, and did I mention? -- Frustrated! Hopefully I will get lots of sleep in and tomorrow will be a much better day. Hoping and praying so...

Little fishie in a big tank...

This is me, in a BIG fish tank, feeling like a little fishie. All I want to do is swim to the top, belly-side up but I have these goofy friends that insist on pushing me back down into the water.

I see these big fingers coming at me, pushing me down -- tickling me in the process.

I also see satan with his fish net wanting to scoop me out and flush me down the toilet.

The battle beteeen finger and net begins...
