Time Flies

Wow! Can't believe it's been over a year since I blogged. This will be a short one.
I'm gonna be a Grammy again in March 2012. I'm so excited!!!
IF I can pass Finite Math this fall, I will graduate with with honors from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in May 2012.
I am a Lyme Disease survivor. I used to say that lightly, but because my symptoms have come back, I have had to find a Lyme Doctor to treat it. It's difficult to make a 5-hour trip each way once every 3 months, but if it will completely cure me, then that's what I'm willing to do. And the doctor says he can CURE me of this disease. However, it will take at least an entire year of antiobiotics to do it. Right now, I am fighting migrating joint pain. One day it is in my knee, several days later it is in my hand and fingers. Last week, I missed an entire week because of a rash over 75% of my body, combined with the joint pain. (No, Bobby, it wasn't poison ivy!) Went back to work on Monday with only a swollen knee but ended up in the ER Tuesday night because of the swelling and pain in my hand and knee. After 3 shots and 2 prescriptions, I can now type a little. Going back to work tomorrow. I gotta get better...I'm supposed to go to Ohio 2 weeks from Ohio to see my family, and I really want to go!
Loved the saying in the docgtor's office, "When life give you Lymes, make Key Lime Pie!" However, I would rather use the words from Jeremiah 21:12: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future."
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Yay! The blog is BACK! Sorry about the Lyme Disease issues... we'll pray for you Mary. God can use our weakness and our broken bodies to glorify His purpose in our lives. Thank you for being a willing servant! We hope we get to see you!
