Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

We had a great Memorial Day. We had a little party for our neighbors, work friends and prayer circle friends. I enjoyed being surrounded by such good friends. The rain held off until the end of the party.

I woke up Monday morning with a stabbing pain in my upper abdomen. I have started back on some narcotic pain killers. I went into the doctor office on Tuesday morning. They ran some tests and haven't found anything. I had a fever and so they think it might be a virus. Due to the narcotics I will be sleeping with oxygen. My oxygen gets low when I am on the painkillers.

Bill visited the orthopedic surgeon Wednesday morning. His knee has been hurting for several weeks and isn't getting better on its own. He had an MRI today and may need knee surgery in a couple of weeks for suspected torn cartilage.

Have a peace filled week.
Michelle
