NEW DAY, AND WE ARE BOTH BETTER!!

PRESLEY IS NOW EATING AND DRINKING AGAIN, AND I HAD MY EPIDURAL SHOT YESTERDAY. MY SISTER VICKIE TOOK ME, AND THEN THEY CALLED HER A COUPLE HOURS LATER WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR HER TO COME PICK ME UP.  I CAN ALREADY TELL THE DIFFERENCE, BUT IT USUALLY TAKES 2 OR EVEN 3 DAYS FOR THE FULL EFFECT.  I TRULY DID NOTHING YESTERDAY BUT FOLLOW THE DOCTOR'S ORDERS TO A T.  ICE ON EVERY 20 MINUTES TO THE INJECTION SITE. ONCE I GET BACK FROM C.A. THE SAME DR. WILL GIVE ME AN EPIDURAL IN MY NECK AREA.  WITH A LOT OF WELL WISHES AND SOME PRAYERS, I AM HOPING THE NECK WILL ALSO BE IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE AFTER THAT.  BTW,  I  FOUND A NEW WAY TO GIVE PRESLEY HIS MEDS.  HE LIKES PEANUT BUTTER (JUST LIKE HIS DADDY-MIKE).  PRISKA WON'T EVEN TASTE IT, BUT I CAN GIVE PRESLEY A SLICE OF LEMON COVERED IN PEANUT BUTTER, AND HE WILL LAP IT UP!!  I AM VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS.  NOW I FEEL MUCH BETTER ABOUT LEAVING MY FURRY LITTLE BABIES TO GO TO C.A. FOR A WEEK.  I KNOW THEY ARE DOGS, BUT THEY ARE NOT REGULAR DOGS-THEY ARE TERRIFIC DOGS, AND I LOVE THEM!!  WELL NOT SURE WHAT I HAVE ON MY AGENDA FOR TODAY.  I WANT AND NEED TO PACK, BUT I AM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BE DOING TOO MUCH STRAINING TODAY-I SURE DON'T WANT TO MESS ANY THING UP IN MY BACK AGAIN.  I DID GET TO STUDY FOR MY MEETING TONIGHT, AND I (DEPENDING ON HOW I FEEL) MAY GO OVER TO MY NEIGHBOR MARTHA'S FOR A SHORT VISIT.  SHE IS DOING SO WELL FROM HER HIP SURGERY, BUT I ALSO WANT TO  GIVE HER DAUGHTER IN LAW THE BIBLE AND BOOK SHE REQUESTED.  BELIEVE IT OR NOT, MIKE (SLEEPING IN DEATH) IS THE ONE THAT GOT HER INTERESTED IN WHAT WE BELIEVE.  SHE READ THE CARD A DEAR FRIEND (JOAN R.) MADE FOR HIS SERVICE, AND IT CAUSED HER TO HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE.  THAT IS ONE MORE GOOD THING MIKE (DADDY) HAS DONE.  IT REALLY MADE ME WISH I COULD TELL HIM RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A LITTLE WHILE. WELL, I AM HOPING EVERYONE IS FEELING WELL TODAY, AND HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE OF SOME KIND YESTERDAY.   MIKE, LAURA, LILLY, AND AUTUMN-ONLY 5 MORE DAYS TILL GRANDMA, CANYON, AND AUNT VICKIE ARRIVE IN YOUR CITY, AND IN YOUR HOME!!  LOVE YOU ALL AND CAN HARDLY WAIT!!  JUST ME
