Update on my Grandpa. He should be coming home today or tomorrow. Turns out the reason he has passed blood was because of ulcers in his stomach. He takes alieve every day for his arthritis and it was causing them to bleed. So they took him off of that and a couple other medications and they are going to change them. He had been complaining his stomach was hurting the last couple of weeks but he thought and we thought it was a stomach bug because it's been going around but where it was hurting was where the ulcers are. I know he is upset because he was supposed to go catch a mess of crappie this week. But all in all I think all will be ok. Thank you for the prayers!


Also update on me. My back still is not any better. I had to take yesterday off of work and I'm going back today but I'm not sure what all I can accomplish. I can't afford to miss too many days. I can walk fine but I can't turn my back or bend down or really even look down without it making me want to kick Obama in the barrack. And my job requires a lot of that so I may just be shuffling along today and tomorrow.

Glad to hear your Grandpa is doing OK. I understand missing out on Crappie fishing. I also can sympathize with back issues. I have three herniated discs, and they flare up quite often. If you can swing it with your insurance, I would recommend physical therapy. I had to have 12 sessions when I tried to replace a toilet by myself a few months ago. I couldn't move, sleep, or anything without pain. But the therapy really helped. Continued prayers.

Lifting you up in prayer
