Monday Monday

Ok-so when all else fails and you can't think of a title just use a song right!! Yuck, I am sick!! The virus that has plagued our family and our church has finally settled its little ole self into me! So far, just a slight fever and sinus problems. But, when you combine it with my asthma, it can be so bad at times. I swear I cough like noone I have ever heard in my life. For just once, I would love to hear someone cough like I do. Not because I wish them sickness, but just so that I know I am not the only one. It's not even a cough-we call it an event here. It's like some weird bark, howl, and then it just completely leaves me with no energy and at times lately I am dizzy afterwards. I had an x-ray last time we were in the states and there are no spots on my lungs so atleast that is good. I just can't imagine that my organs aren't ruptured or something the way I get.
We are going to the states this summer and I will get to be there all summer to help my daughter adjust to living in America again before she heads off to college. So, I think it's in my best interest to go to a specialist. There aren't any doctors here that can do anything for me. Honestly, I don't trust all that many.
I broke my hand the first year we were here and went to the ER-had to endure the Dr smoking his cigarette, someone else's blood still on the floor and the doctor yelling at me because when I broke my hand, I didn't think to take my ring off and if I didn't get it off, he would cut it off!! Boy did I pray-thankfully it came off (supernaturally I tell you!!) So, I get the x-ray and then he proceeds to tell me that "yes, I see you broke your hand, but it wasn't yesterday, it was when you were little." Ok-so it has taken that long for the bruising to show up and my hand to rise a few inches!! Yeah!! I ended up getting part of a cast and then took care of the rest of it myself!
And if I don't have your pity yet LOL, let me tell you about my husband. He was playing indoor soccer with the kids from the orphanage and twisted his ankle. Not a pretty sight! So, into the ambulance and to the ER. Next thing I know, after xrays and all, they get a drill, yes, a regular drill and start to drill his ankle from one side to the other-what's that you say-no big deal.....ok-try it WITHOUT, yes, I said WITHOUT novacaine. Nothing-just pure drilling. My husband is one of the bravest guys I know and has an incredible pain tolerance, but I couldn't believe the screams coming from him-it was horrible. I had to run out of the room!! (I have some photos of his accident at SBB in my Gallery if you would like to look).
All this to say...I don't think I will be entrusting my respiratory system to the medical system here! :)

Now that I have completely bored you with my traumas...
Had a great time at SBB this weekend shopping. I bought a couple of Jen Wilson's kits and then I woke up and thought,,,hmmm, if the Seasonal Scraps is still on sale I will get it. Sure enough, it was and I got the kit. I read a thread at 2Peas about it and everyone was talking about how awesome it was. My daughter just loves it and so that is what I am going to make her Memory Book with. I have to get photos scanned and then start on it. Hopefully next month we are going to get a scanner. But, I still might ask my DH to set up our old Epson and see how that does.

I leave you with the Proverb for the day (sorry, but over the weekend I forgot to blog so we missed a couple of Proverbs)

He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets.
Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips.
Proverbs 20:19
