Almost another month has passed since my last post!

Hello All,

My oh my how quickly time is passing. I was shocked to see the date of September 16th on my last blog. I will try to do much better to keep you informed. When nothing is really going on, it's hard to remember to post something (that's a GREAT thing)!

Waiting for next appt. on 10/31. One of the greatest things that has happened in the last week is that the swelling on my head is gone! Praise God! Since I had surgery, every morning when I would get up, the top of my head around my incision would be swollen. We were genuinely concerned that it might never go down (or away). My doc kept telling me that it would go away and this was normal; but to me, I didn't know what normal was. They see this type of situation every day and they are used to it. I wasn't and neither was any of my family. We had tons of questions which usually ended up with the same answer "this is normal". I feel I can be a better witness to others because God did give me the "normal" and now it really is the "normal". Hope that makes sense! Anyway, I no longer have the knot on top of my head. A very dear friend of ours, Joe Thomas, used to call me "knothead". He has since passed away, but he would have had a blast calling me knothead!

Please pray for my friend, Margaret Thomas, (Joe's wife) and her family. Her son-in-law, Floyd, passed away on Sunday. His wife, Pam, (Margaret's daughter)and their four grown children, and many grandchildren had a great life together. Margaret won't be able to attend the funeral in Boulder, CO. We just lift this whole family up to you Lord. Take care of them, love them and let them know how special each of them are to you.

My sisters and I are going to get together for sister weekend on 10/26 - 10/28! Should be lots of fun! They will be coming to Dallas and we'll be staying at the Staybridge Hotel in Plano. Anxious to see them again!

PLEASE Pray that I get a GREAT report on 10/31. Please pray for my hubby and my parents as they continue to take care of me. They are such wonderful, earthly treasures and I don't know what I would do without any of them. I love you all.

Hugs and kisses and God be with you til we meet again,
Jeanine
