What an exciting WT lesson.  with those 3 important points covered.  I took extra notes on my "meetings notes" page.  

Yesterday I struggled with a migraine... yet again. and the masses on both sides of my jaw almost seem to be getting bigger daily.  or maybe it is just my imagination, but they have certainly grown in the last month.  I am still not sure if it is the masses or stress that are triggering my migraines.  Perhaps both.  I just want things to settle down just a bit before I go to the doc so I can be sure what is going on and give my doc helpful information.  I do know, i can NOT handle eating things that are hard.  That I know really triggers a massive headache.  Even when EO makes Venison chops, i have to have him tenderize them and hammer them out so I can chew them.  He was teasing me asking if he should chew them first.  Oh EO, he is a nut!

EO & Colton will go pick up the hospital bed this afternoon and then they arranged for a couple of brothers to help them move the bed into the house and set it up.  I am still stunned and amazed how fast we found a bed for her and that it is such a nice one.  I know nothing is impossible for Jehovah, but still... my little imperfect pea brain still has me in awe!

I haven't heard anything this morning about Dianne, but a number of people went down to Rochester to be with the family.  I just pray that Jehovah makes sure Dianne and her family know just how much they are loved.  

Carol keeps making progress.  She is healing up better and there is less and less fluid build up.  I think EO is starting to breath easier.  He didn't go up town yesterday, but after service, they moved furniture around to make room for the bed.  And then he came home and did a few chores and climbed into bed.  He slept for a couple of hours and I woke him up about 6pm, because he wanted to watch the race.  Amazingly, he also went to bed a little bit earlier than usual and slept decent last night.  So I am happy about that.  He won't be going up town today either, as he is going to be getting the bed and whatnot.  We have to go to town tomorrow, so we will stop in to see Carol then.  No one has been staying with her up there, as the nursing home isn't really set up for guests, it is mainly for residents.  But she seems to be doing ok.  I think Deenie is taking Bill up again today to see her, but I am not positive about that. 

My 75 year old aunt, is still the fire chief for where she lives.  She has been a nurse 55-60 years, and I have no idea how long she has been the fire chief.  But anyways, the other day, she hopped up on the firetruck (as she has a million times) and something happened and she fell off and landed on her shoulder.  They took her to St. Mary's in Duluth, they took one look at her, said it wasn't out of joint, never took an x-ray or anything and sent her home.  The pain was so bad, she nearly passed out.  They didn't do anything for her.  So they took her to a different hospital and they took one look and rushed her into xray... and said there was a lot of damage.  Now she is going in for surgery.  What is the deal with St Marys.  I think the same doc who sent my aunt on her way was the same one who wouldn't do anything when my mom was passing a kidney stone and just sent her home.  Both went in ambulances, both informed the doc what was going on and both got sent home without even a test being run or a pain pill.  I know my mom wrote that doc a nasty letter as my mom went and found her primary doc and he figured out what was going on.   I AM SO SO SO THANKFUL,  each time Carol went in, she had a doctor that was capable.  I really think someone should investigate that doc who sent both my mom and aunt away.  grrr.  I am just glad my is going to be ok.

So my cousin came into town to be with her mom for her upcoming surgery and I am really trying to get on her good side, especially with that WT lesson about how people still have time.   She really hates the Witnesses, but I am trying to hard to soften her heart.  Just when I made progress, her dad told her how he was DF and how he asked them to do that, because he couldn't kick his chewing tobacco habit and he knew it was wrong.  and he wanted to make things right before Jehovah.  well he was DF and it helped him to kick the habit and he was reinstated and he has a clean conscience before Jehovah.  Well, he said he didn't realize what a mistake it was for him to tell his kids (none of them are in the truth) because it made them all hate the Witnesses.  He tried to explain he needed to do this to fix his relationship with Jehovah, but they didn't understand.  So for awhile my one cousin REFUSED to talk to me at all.  Now little by little, she is coming around.  So with her parents back in the truth after many years, I am hoping this will have a positive effect on my cousins.  And I want to do whatever I can to be encouraging to them.  I don't know what is in store, but I have to try, as clearly they still have time to change.
