Thank you Joyce.

1. What do you make more complicated than it needs to be?

I'm going to go with everything in my life these days. I'm so frustrated with my health so I end up complaining about other things that I can't do. 

Mark is going out of town today and will be gone until the 1st of June. I am concerned about being by myself. I do have appointments to go to. I'm pretty sure I can drive even though my ankle hurts. That's one of the appointments I'm going to tomorrow. 

2. What impresses you? 

I don't know how to answer this but I am truly impressed with bloggers who write several posts a week and they are excellent. I'm lucky to do Wednesday Hodgepodge. 

Yes, I am talking about Joyce, you are such a great blogger. Your posts are always outstanding. 

3. On a scale of 1-10 how picky of an eater are you?  (1=extremely and 10=not at all) If you had to eat a meal made entirely of one color what color would you choose? 

I'm going to say a 9. I don't A like I'm that picky. I'm going to go with green hoping that it's a lot of veggies. 

4. What does balance in life mean to you? Does your life currently feel 'balanced'? 

I think that balance would mean you have routines that you do each day to keep up with things in your house. As you know I do not have balance in my life right now. 

5. If you could travel the world for a year what would be your first destination? 

It would be Europe. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Amber turned 45 on Monday, May 18th. It can be so hard being away from your children when they are celebrating a birthday. 

Amber....we love you so much.

Happy Birthday!

Love, Mom and Dad

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS

I feel like all I do these days is write posts to you guys to pray for me. It is like the never ending story. I want you to know that I appreciate them very much. 

You won't believe what happened yesterday. I was in Mark's office here in the house. He has a rug over the carpet by his desk and it moves from time to time. So I moved his office chair into the hallway and started to pull the rug over and for some reason, I don't really know why, but I went down on my knee. Well I have thin skin because of steroids and I tore the skin on my left knee. 

Of course I went and had to put something on it to stop the bleeding. Nothing really helped. I pulled the skin up as much as I could, I wrapped gauze around it over and over again and then secured it. So after awhile I checked it and it was still bleeding a lot. 

I decided I would have to go to urgent care and make sure that there wasn't more that I should be doing. As it turns out, Mark was on his way home from going shooting and he was able to drive me to urgent care. I was seen pretty quickly and I liked the doctor I saw. I have seen him before.

So he cleaned it really well pouring a special liquid over it. Then he gently pulled the skin back up and secured it with tape all the way around. I believe he put some cream on it also. Anyway he bandaged it really well. The top bandage I will take off daily and put a new one on. The other one should start to come loose in about 10 days. Whether or not the skin will attach and heal is hopeful but not for sure. 

Of course now I have to figure out how I'm going to shower. I just got done using a shower thing you pull up on your leg so I could shower with my ankle bandage that couldn't get wet. So here I am again, only a few days later with the same issue. By the way, that's the leg I am having sciatica in. 

On top of that we go later today to watch James for the weekend. It is for sure now that I will be in the house with the dogs while Adam and James go out and have some fun maybe playing miniature golf or something else. 

Your prayers are appreciated. 

Love you guys,

Debby
