Whats up Doc?

Did ya like my last post? Kinda gross huh? I went to Community Care this morning. Walked in "in Tears" walked out "in Tears. Saw Doc. Campbell. He is awesome. I will only go if he is there because he has treated my sinus's. Here is our conversation

Doc: So what can I do for you?

Judy: (pulls up pant leg)

Doc: ( Shrieks with disgust! Just joking, I'm sure he's seen worse) What is going on?

Judy: Have ya heard about the Drama in our lives? (Jerry is his Bishop) that means he is in my ward.

Judy: (Cries uncontrollably)

Doc: This could be stress

anyway....in a nutshell he gave me the 10 pounder drug. Prednisone. Just to get me through the Hawaii thing. He was awesome and very understanding as I tried to talk through my crackling voice. He's A great Doc!

So I go to get the prescription at Mike's Pharmacy. (he has employed all of my children at one time or another) Here is our conversation.

Mike: How are you doing?

Judy: Oh, just let me show you.

Judy walks behind counter so all the help can see, pulls up pant leg and hears.....EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!

Mike: So....does this mean the string bikini is a no for Hawaii.

Judy: Maybe next time!

Came home and took 2 Benadryls. Slept an hour. Kinda down.......kinda frustrated.

Doorbell rings, dog barks!

Judy: WHAT? The rose shop?????

We received the most beautiful flowers.

Open Card: Card Says: I am thinking of you today. Love you Natalie.

I read it to Jerry with another crackled voice. Lump in throat.

Natalie is the oldest daughter of Jerry's oldest Sister. From the moment Nan was born, I have loved her. I think back of all the times her and Katie would come over and play with the girls. They loved dressing up in dance clothes, and would dance on the hot tub. My girls loved to have them come over. I have always been in the background, supporting and praying for her. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that she would also become such a great friend. We have spent hours talking about the trials that we are faced with. Today she was a rainbow after a storm, a sunrise after a sleepless night.

I can't believe how much these flowers brightened my day. Thanks Nan. You are the best!

Got on Lisa Bearnson's blog and she posted this story:

Two Wolves One evening an elderly Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

I had a friend ask me if I am angry. Angry about all this crap in my life. I said no. I've come along way since the last bout with cancer, I guess you could say that my lamp is fuller. I think I was alot more prepared this time, some of that comes with age,but some of it comes from trying to gain a stronger testimony and learning and believing in the Atenment. I love the Story of the 10 Virgins, and with this trial, I can see that I am getting closer to have my lamp full. I am trying to feed the good wolf.
