DAY 34 OF 100 DAYS IN PARADISE? - Sick! And I Mean Sick

For the past two days
I could hardly hold my head up
much less write my blog.

It hit me like a Mack Truck
Sunday Morning around 10:00.

The last time I was THAT sick
was when I lived in Mexico and
suffered from
"Montezuma's Revenge"!

The one person who is even 
more excited than I am
about my recovery  
is Trammell.

He was working 24/7
taking care of David and me.

As he hobbled around as fast 
as he could both day and night
caring for us I felt so bad.

It broke my heart to feel so helpless.
And to watch him have to go through
that.
His open wound on the bottom
of his right foot that's been 
there for over a month, that had
started to heal, is now worse
because of him being on his 
feet that much. 
He still has no feeling in his legs
or feet.  
As he walks it's like dragging 
dead weight around.
Just walking across the room is 
workout for him.

Not one complaint did I hear from
him during these, beyond nightmare,
days and nights.
Just ever so often his sweet voice saying
"Mom, PLEASE, get well fast.  I don't
know how much more I can take."

We are both Praising God that I am almost
back to my old "workaholic" self.

Now on to our next mountain to climb.
We found out SATURDAY
that I have to re-apply
for David's disability BY FEB. 1ST!

David, who is Bedridden.
Who suffers from Severe
Irreversible Brain Damage 
after being dead for over an
hour on CHRISTmas Morning
2006. 
David, who went from being my 
husband to being my infant son.

It took me 7 months of us living 
with no income to get his disability
check started.  
(This happened CHRISTmas Morning 2006.
We got our first monthly check 
on the 3rd Wed. of July 2007. 
Which was about the amount 
what we were living on per week
before this happened.
By the way - we did not
get any back pay.

And Now to think about going
through all that AGAIN.

Please Remember our family
in your Prayers.
We are all so tired.

Psalm 37:24
Though they stumble, 
they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.
