being sick – Lee Duigon

They look better than we feel.

We were supposed to do some doctoring tomorrow, but that’s been postponed because we’re both sick now–and I don’t mean maybe. I’m only typing this brief message to let you know we’re still here.

I blame the No Rest “rest home” for this. The guy they roomed me with coughed and coughed and coughed every night–why in the world didn’t they give him some cough medicine?–so I never got any sleep. Whatever he had, I picked it up from him and now Patty has picked it up from me. And we are both wrecked.

Let me see if it helps to sit outside for a bit.

Please pray for us. We need it.

I’m having some trouble getting over that “prostate shaving” procedure, so Patty phoned the doctor yesterday. I was afraid of being hauled back into the hospital for more slice ‘n’ dice, but they only warned me to take it easy for some days, give myself time to heal.

Well, all right! I’ve been ordered not to exert myself.

What about writing, though?

One thing about blogging–it can, and does, take your mind off your physical afflictions. (Well, so does interpretive dance… but who needs that?) This morning I suddenly had enough gas in my guts to inflate the Hindenburg. It has since left me. The point is, I’m in need of relief–and in need of prayer.

Oh, my, look at that! 11:11. One more blog post, I guess. I seem to be running out of gas.
