The Plot Thickens!

Hello, I just got a call from my brain surgeons office. The good news is he didn 't like the xrays of the frayed leads and wishes to perform a premptive surgery to reposition the leads before they break and necessitate a brain surgery to replace them. I like his thinking.

Please keep me in your kind thoughts and prayers. Remember Carol first and then me--thanks a billion!

To paraphrase Ann, prayers go into the whole where a power beyond comprehension sorts it all out. We know how we want the sorting done - d

Dear Alice,
You know, I write about the courage of animals, the great heart that they have to face the day.

The most wonderful animal of all is human. What makes human so spectacular is the ability to love and to hope. Hope is the fuel. Love changes the world.

Love, Betty

I agree with the sorting of the prayers. You deserve them all tonight, Alice, and God has this figured out.

I send them all to you. Hopefully this procedure will all be prayed over and hoped for.

Love ya, Alice.

Alice, take care and you have my prayers.

Good luck, Alice! I'm sure it will go well. You and Carol are both troopers!

Alice,
positive thoughts (prayers) are coming your way.

Dearest Alice, don't you dare come out of that preemptive without all your wires uncrossed.

Thanks to you all. I wish I could be a help to someone. I do not suffer well. God is in charge here. You have all been wonderful to me. Thank you. I do believe in a hereafter and will see you there.

Parkinson's is a dowhill slide. I have been very fortunate to live the past five plus years. God has been very good to me to know you gracious people.

I am jealous of people who can walk, I used to take my health for granted. No more. It is a wonderful gift. Cherish it and enjoy it.

Above all, worship and praise God. He is very good.

No more until I am better. God's will be done.

Alice,

You are in my heart and God is looking after you. Keep hoping. Never, never give up.

I love you with all my heart.

Carol

Looking forward to hearing that you are better.

Ann

My thoughts are with you Alice

Best wishes

Mike

Alice,
Add my prayers to the stack.

Don

Thank you once again. I am embarassed to say that I am having panic attacks due to an ill-advised drug given to me in a strange ER in Rapid City SD. I wake up in fits. I am cetain with time this will qut.

I will try to act like a human being and not be such an alarmist. It dawned on Dave and me that I have been this way ever since that drug.

This is a well-known side effect. I am sorry I bothered you with it.

You are great support though.

I'd have a panic attack just waking up in Rapid City, SD! lol. Did you have your surgery already?

No, not yet! LC , Definitely not a place to be sick.

Wow! Dave is good. We think you've always been that way.















Just kidding.

Dear Alice,
Sometimes I think of doctors as body mechanics. I am glad that you have the best and they know what to do.
I love you, too.

Love,

Betty

I am truly blessed in doctors as well as friends. Again sorry to have set off a false alarm.

Sometime we will all die. I don't know anyone who has escaped it yet. I guess the trck is to be ready at all times.

Thankfully I have had time to reflect and see that I need to improve.
Once again--thanks, all.

Dear Alice,
I know that you are the best you can be on any given day. You have that kind of spirit that does not allow second best. Being all you can be each day is all you can do. We as human beings are the supreme animal. We have cognitive thought and understanding beyond our own selves. We connect each to each and are aware of each.

That is how prayer really works. Connection and concentrated cognitive thought. I imagine that people could really move a mountain if every one really paid attention and did not let their mind wander during prayer.

Alas! A person assuages their hearafter hopes with mindless prayer. A recital.

Norman Peal had a little glimpse of how prayer works, God or no, with his idea of positive thinking.

I think it may be like in the movie Carrie. Bad example, but kinesis is reality. We use so little of our brains. Mostly on what to fix for dinner, how to make enough money to keep our lifestyle afloat and very little on concentrated thought to alter anything, and for a lack of a better word, prayer.

So, Alice, pray I will.
Love,
Betty

You? Naa. Just keep being the you we all care about.

Ann

Thanks, Betty and Ann.

The surgeons office called to tell me they will set everything up tomorrow.
Things are looking up.


In the meantime, I will rely on Jesus to save me. I cannot save myself. Can't get that good.
