Went out to dinner with some old friends last night to have a few wings and catch up. I was starting to feel really bad thanks to the cold that is catching up to me. We still went just stayed back from everyone. If we had cancelled like we have once before with every ones crazy schedule it has been almost a year since we have gone out. It was a wonderful evening. We laughed and talked about everything that has went on since we last saw each other. But you know you are getting old when you can sit and talk medicare with a couple and understand what they are talking about. The girls probably should have gotten their own table because they definitely didn't have anything to add to this conversation. Anyway the night passed by quickly and I still wasn't feeling great but nothing so bad I couldn't enjoy the evening, until we got in the car and started to get on the interstate. All of a sudden it felt like my head was going to explode! Every bone in my head and neck started to scream in pain. I took some pain medicine I had with me for my arthritis and by the time we had gotten back to Gardendale it was easing up. This only lasted long enough to get to Sumiton where it hit again. I think it is just a coincidence that my migraine hit at the same time I started getting sick but I slept on the couch to be safe. Do not want to spread this stuff to Jeff.
Last night I don't think I have ever prayed as hard as I did while I was in pain. I don't think I could have taken even the smallest increase in the pain. Lucky for me, God must have been willing to grant that prayer right away. It was only a few minutes before I could relax enough with an ice bag on my head to fall asleep. It wasn't a great nights sleep but at least I wasn't rolling in pain. Just want to say thank you Jesus for delivering me from pain. The only thing I could keep repeating over and over is that God is here with me He won't give me more than I can handle.
I would like to ask everyone that reads this to please pray for those who got the news yesterday that due to Obamacare their insurance rates have doubled. Most of these people are on fixed incomes, but if you have read some of my other posts I consider all of us on a fixed income. I mean how many raises have you seen in the last couple of years and if you got one did it cover the rising cost of necessities? The President said he would make health care affordable to everyone and of course most of us didn't believe him. But for those that did I understand they can't even afford what he is offering and for those that have company insurance, BCBS was one that was mentioned, their coverage is dropping and their rates are going up 50-60% a month. I don't know what it means for us and our insurance but I know there is no way possible we could take that kind of hit. So please keep this country in your prayers, this will effect everyone in some way or other.
God Bless you all until next time...
