The last two days have been tough. Not sure why I'm having so much pain. A low grade fever is accompanying as well to make me feel a bit worse. This afternoon is fall festival at our childrens' school (Providence Christian Academy) & I hope I will be able to take them. Planning on a lot of rest today. Pray specifically for pain relief. I hate being in a fog from pain meds.
Yesterday I was able to forget & enjoy for a couple hours with two of my precious friends that will accompany me to California. Barb & I went & got pedicures then my other friend Tracey dropped by while our toesies were drying. We went & ate lunch & had great conversation. We all went to nursing school together & Tracey & I also went to high school together. Actually I met her on the bus to Brownie day camp & she had a broken arm. Isn't it funny the things we can remember from so far back? Tracey has an infectious laugh & a heart of gold. These two precious ladies have 5 children between them & are still working as nurses. If you recall my friend Barbara was in the accident June 22nd when the camper she was in at church camp had a large tree fall down the middle of it during a brief but strong thunderstorm in Greenbriar. This left her with a broken back & neck. She is here by God's grace & walking normal. She is an amazing woman & can do anything. I really admire her. Anthony will be with me the first week then I will have my personal nurses, 3 in a row. Kelly is so concerned & caring, She is giving up time with her sweet Grace. Then my sweet Christy, from church, who is nothing but an angel sent to lift me up with her encouraging words & glowing smile.
God has His hands all over this trip I believe. Everything is falling into place. Thank you Tracey, Barb, Kelly, & Christy. I love you!
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in Your presence Psalm 16:11

SO glad for His provision and praying for smooth preparations for your trip. You are indeed a well-loved woman! So many people are praying for you.
Oh how I would love to be there with you. Hopefully we will be moved in our new home when you get back. Just know I will be with you in spirit and will be praying for you daily.
Love you!

Arthy,
I enjoyed our time together Friday--it was so nice to sit and talk with you and Barb. I think that we also went to mom's day out together when we were four at Main St. COC--I'll have to ask my mom but I'm pretty sure she has a picture of us together. Our lives have crossed back and forth at so many points and I am grateful to have you as a lifelong friend. You are an inspiration to me and your faith is a beautiful witness for the Lord. You and your sweet family remain in my prayers daily. I look forward to our time together in Nov.
Love you, Tracey

What a blessing to have those friendships! In my book, few things beat a pedicure with good friends :)
I'm praying for you today that you will have relief from the pain and fevers.
