Last Saturday night, the night before Easter I wrote prayers for our Easter Sunday service and needed to print them to take with me to church in the morning. After much effort, trying to get the printer to work, I finally gave up and emailed the prayers to my sister and asked her to print them for me and bring them with her to church. She delivered them to me in the morning. And so on Monday morning I helped Doug to get into the car and we went to Best Buy to buy a new printer. Amazingly they were on sale! I got one that scans, copies and faxes. Then Wednesay or Thursday I tried to hook up the new printer and everything went well until I put the CD in my old Mac computer and it told me the operating system was too old. Apparently now I have to buy a new computer. And so for the last few days I have been trying to decide if we should buy a Mac or a PC. We have had a Mac since the Apple 2E first came out. Could we possibly buy a PC now? Doug doesn't think so. Our present Mac we have had since 2004! We updated the operating system once. What to do... We went back to Best Buy today to look at all of our options. What computer to buy? So many decisions to make. It was good for Doug to get out for a little while with me and marvel at all the electronics in the store. I am hoping if we sleep on it, we will have an answer by tomorrow.
Doug was pretty tired today. He was feeling very weak. This made getting in and out of the car pretty difficult. One of our HSCT friends posted the image below on her facebook page yesterday. It is a good reminder on how long it takes to feel better and to heal from HSCT and MS. It can be so frustrating, waiting to feel better and hoping to feel better. Of course Doug has the double whammy of recovering from the poly-neuropathy. For us, we don't know how he is recovering from the HSCT. We can only hope that his new stem cells are continuing to support his healing. And so, along with all of our friends who have undergone HSCT, we continue to pray for recovery, healing and wholeness as we celebrate 5 months post treatment.
Today, I received this post card in the mail from the staff that work at the Episcopal Diocesan offices. Bishop Brian and the rest of the staff signed it. They remembered me in prayer. It made my heart happy to be remembered and reassured to know we are being held in prayer. And so with thanksgiving I want to share this prayer with all of you.
Sometimes the rain dance is a diversion so we don't get bogged down!? Is that what can be interpreted by mixed signals God gives us. I've been trying to decide what kind of dance I can do before the hip surgery and what kind after???! Does not include an audience I am sure. And no thunder & lightening! Just soft spring showers that have a wonderful smell & a rainbow! The dance may be an Irish �� jig or a waltz. I'm ready. Thank you for many blessings...even the Vet bills not in the budget! But a much better sweet dog ��!
