SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS

Jessica shared a big blessing with me about Skip's scheduled MRI on Friday. He had a MRI done about a year ago but they LOST IT. Skip has been calling and calling about this MRI. Well you know how time flies you don't get back to it until you are "reminded" with chronic pain once again! Well Doc ordered another MRI and that was the one scheduled for Friday. Skip was already stressed about being in the tunnel and was in the dressing room getting ready when the nurse said, Mr. Newman (that makes him sound so old, he's still my little Skippy) have you injured your back since Dec.06's MRI? He says no, why? Well I have that MRI right here!!! Skip says, I have been calling and calling about it! So as Jess says, he saved $600.00!
Now he has to wait for the specialist's appt. and hopefully they don't want another MRI. He says his back is very sore. One day at a time!

ANOTHER BLESSING: I had an email from my friend Sandra whom many of you prayed for back in Feb. as she slipped on some ice and broke her hip. This happened while she was Chicago taking care of Lindsay. Pastor Gray had to drive from D.C. to take her home after her surgery. Well the blessing is she is FINALLY in therapy and graduating from a walker to a cane soon. She has requested that we continue to pray for her because it seems she has messed up her knee as well in the fall. She is scheduled for a CAT scan soon. AND Lindsay is due to have her baby in a few weeks!

Another Blessing: I have had trouble with my knee for quite sometime. A pain that I can live with until a couple of weeks ago when I woke up to a swollen knee and could barely walk. That was a horrible feeling of being immobile!! I have things to do, places to go, grandchildren and etc...it was quite discouraging for me. I end up at the doc's and he said, I had a severe case of arthritis and set me up an appt. with and ortho doc. It took about 10 days to get that appt. so of course up to a couple of days before my appt. my knee began to feel better. At least I could walk again! Yesterday was my appt. and Audy took off early to go with me because he knew they would probably give me a shot and he's had a few himself and talk about painful!!! Well we met the doc and he said, hum I see the swelling and ordered x-rays. The x-rays came back showing NO ARTHRITIS that was a PRAISE....but wanted to give me a shot in the knee and see me back in 3 weeks for further tests. The nurse came in with the needle and Audy says, "see you later!" and LEFT ME! I take a deep breath and say to myself, okay Deanna remember your verse, I can do all things through Christ! I squeeze my eyes shut tight and doc goes are you OKAY? And I say yes, I am a big girl, I am rewarding myself with some grandbaby love afterwards! He smiled and says, "all done! And you were a big girl, that hurt"!
