Today was a much better day. I still feel odd but I can't explain how I feel. Sometimes I feel weak and shaky and sometimes I feel fine. Today my stomach was kind of strange but this evening I feel better. I haven't eaten anything since I left work because I took a nap and I do feel better but I should probably eat something just not quite sure what. Right now Blue Bunny chocolate ice cream sounds better than anything but that may not be the most healthy. At least its dairy and has calories and it sounds good. I ate a healthy lunch of a salad with eggs and a smart ones Swedish meatballs and then had I snacked on a good amount of carrots and celery with ranch dressing in the afternoon.
The representative from the Transplant Team at UI HC called me back this morning to give me a little information and as we were talking I asked about how soon I might expect to meet with the Team. She said that I was on her radar to call to set up an appointment and we could go ahead and do that now. It was another one of those nothing ventured nothing gained moments. We will be meeting with Dr. Silverman and her Team on July 31st at 3 in the afternoon. I feel like we're making headway here just to have that appointment scheduled. As soon as I got off of the phone with Julie @ UIHC, I called Dr B's office and let her know about the appointment.
As a quick follow up to yesterday's blog, I did apologize for my poor behavior and I did prepare and submit a request for a special circumstance for compensation time. I must admit the initial email response I received wasn't all that encouraging but I remain hopeful and prayerful. As you can tell I'm trying to crawl out of those loving arms again and not letting our loving Father remain in control. Please continue to pray that I rely solely on Him and His healing, love, grace, power, and infinite wisdom.
This is a short blog this evening but I have to tell you I love this dictating thing and it will make blogging more frequently easier - maybe.
Please include in your prayers my brother's friend Rick as well as a young girl named Kayla who was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune encephalopathy and is undergoing studies and treatment at the Mayo Clinic.
Today I'm saying a special prayer of thanksgiving for my Pastor Erika on her birthday. She is such a blessing to me and to St John Lutheran Church in Ely, Iowa.
Dear friends and family feel free to continue praying. I won't stop you now because they are working miracles in my life. I continue to need prayers for tolerance at work , for trust in the Lord , and for a renewed sense of peace.
Peace love hope and joy to you all this evening and throughout your day tomorrow.
