Day 7, 8 and 9

Good morning everyone, I can't believe two more days have gone past. Day 7 & 8 have been amazing. I feel so good. Yesterday was my best day by far. Almost no aches and pains any more and I think that the taste in my mouth might even be going away. I almost feel human again. I still have what I call sea legs.. thinking that might be due to almost no real exercise since June, other than when Mom takes me shopping and boy does she give me a workout. Don't  have much muscle anymore in legs, arms and yes my buttocks.. poor thing is flat as a pancake although I guess that could be a good thing. Got in the pool last night with Brian and Courtney and tried exercising.. hoping to build some muscle back. Now if I could sleep... Yep that's right... INSOMNIA....Ugh!!!! That's okay though I am working through it with meds (which I might add are not working hence the blog at 6am) but I am sure after talking to the Doc we will come up with something that works. I really don't like taking the sleep aid as I fear becoming dependant on them, but at the moment willing to try whatever works. It is so amazing to me how great I feel. I told you God was listening to your prayers. They really are working. I have never seen so many answered prayers... He and you keep me going stronger every day. I have to go for blood work this morning so praying they find a good flowing vein as it took them 3 tries last time. My poor hands are still bruised from that one. I have a very busy weekend planned and I am looking forward to all of it. Mom is coming on Friday to take me shopping (look out muscles your fixing to get a workout) and then home to look at pictures and put them in photo albums finally. I can't wait to look at all the pics mom has collected over the years.. then sometime that afternoon my best bud Terrie and her Daddy Pa Bob will be here for a visit. It will be a short one, but always full of laughter and good times. They will be here until Saturday afternoon at which time I will head to my daughter's house for my grand daughter's 1st Birthday Party. I can't believe Brylee is a year old already!!! Sunday is Brian's 49th Birthday which we will celebrate by relaxing and watching football and racing as that seems to be all he wants. At our age relaxing has now become quite the gift. haha..Who am I kidding????? Just wait until January baby.... I will be up and running and may never stop...Anyway hope to have a great day on Sunday as my hubby so deserves it. He is so amazing!!!!! I am really not sure how anyone gets through life without a Brian... I know I couldn't nor would I want to. Speaking of amazing...did I mention that Lori my sis and Donna came and spent time with me on Sunday? I love seeing them and as always my spirits were lifted as only friends and family and the good Lord can do of course. I really had no idea how many people loved me until now....what a shame that I never saw it before... but I can promise you this.... I won't be blind to it ever again... It is so amazing how God has showed me so much over the last few months...I really get excited when I think about what he has in store for me... I am sitting on my back porch at the moment watching the sun come up and listening to the world wake up... how awesome is that????? Now if I could just get my bowels to wake up I could skip to lab corp....haha Thank God I don't make my living as a comedian... but I do crack myself up at times so I guess that's what matters.. Wow... My Mom must be so proud at this very moment (NOT) Ok I better go for now as it is starting to look like Insomnia might be getting the best of me with these silly ramblings.. Hoping today, day 9 is as great as day 8..looking forward to hearing from you all and as always thank you all for your prayers and support.. keep them coming....they are doing amazing things!!!!! I love you all!!!!!!!!
