I need energy

Man... I'm so weak

dialysis was just okay.

very low energy

could hardly walk to the mail box.

haven't been able to take my walks 4 houses down.

haven't been eating much lately. asked my daughter to get me some prepared energy drinks.

I know there are those of you that sometimes feel the way I do. That the Lord would just take us away. It's selfish, I know, and I'm sorry for feeling that way. God has been so good to me and you have prayed so much. I'm so ashamed of my feelings. I'm sorry for being such a bad example. I want to be such a good testimony for you. And show you how to live under adversity. But hey, I'm human and there are days, unfortunately, that I feel sorry for myself.

What a baby. there are so many people that have it worse than I and don't even hardly complain at all. I'm sorry for feeling sorry for myself.

I guess this day is the day to ask you to continue to pray for me

and thank you as I know you already do

love, Dan

What a great God we have!

I'm so thankful for His grace to me and us. Thank you Lord for your beautiful creation!

Had a good dialysis today.

Thankful to Al W. for picking me up. Pray for him and Janet.

Ugliness

When you are sick, you get ugly.  Ugly to those you love, and to those you don't.  It's not on purpose.  It just happens.  I guess that's a characteristic that comes out and shows your true self.

 

Now, I don't mean it, but it just happens and before you know it, my foot is in my mouth.

 

God has blessed me in so many many ways that I have no reason to be ugly or distant.  But it happens.

 

Now I could blame it on the drugs, but there is no real excuse except it's something I need to work on more.

 

Love, Dan

what a day

good dialysis, bled all over at the end but it worked out okay.

I fell off my sisters' bike last week and bruised my arm pretty bad. My arm was quite swollen, so the doctor told me to go to emergency as there could be a blood clot. I spend 4 hours at St. Joe's and they did x-rays and ultraound. Everything was okay, so I'll live! ha ha

Please pray for Al and Janet W., Vaughn and Carolyn B.

Till next time

beautiful...beautiful day

Dialysis went well. God is so good to us.

back on the track

Went to dialysis Saturday. Had hardly gained any weight and did good.

No problems Saturday.

Had a great Sunday.

Feel good. Little nauseus but not like Thurs.

Please pray for Janet W.

Love, Dan

Just for Fun!

Cow appreciation day!

I'm a bad boy!

Missed dialysis Thursday.

I woke up throwing up and so I stayed home. Nauseus the rest of the day. Seems I had run out of one the pills that helps a condition I have in my stomach (gastropoesis). Once I got the pill it subsided. Actually I have another pill I'm supposed to take for that but it causes me to be extremely anxious and depressed. I'd rather throw up than have that. So I have to deal with the nausea. The one pill that did help is for another problem that I have, but it seems to help out so well, that's enough about me.

How about you? How is it with you and the Lord today? Are you right with Him. If you're not, nothing and I mean nothing else matters. God loves you and wants you to have the best, but if you're not right with Him, then you're just looking for grief. So get right!

Well, you have a great day.

Love, Dan

Great news today

I've been asking you to pray for Ken from dialysis. I asked the Lord to give me an opportunity to talk to him before he goes to sleep.

Today the Lord placed him right next to me! And he came in a little later so I got up at the end of my treatment and went and talked to him.

He's been a lot friendlier to me lately so I've been wanting to tell him why I and you were praying for him. To make a long story short, he claims to know the Lord.

I told him several people were praying for him at church, and have been for some time now.

He really seemed to appreciate that.

Anyway, please continue to pray for him as he really has a tough road to hoe with his health problems. He also doesn't seem to have any support at home, although one of the nurses said his mom does. I've never seen anyone besides the ambulance to bring him there.

You know, I'm not real bold in witnessing, but have tried to maintain communication with him for the last several months. So when the Lord placed him right next to me, I knew I had to talk to him about the Lord. Especially since there's a good chance I'll be going to a different dialysis center in Taylor soon.

Have a great week!

Dan

p.s. had a rocky dialysis today but the Lord got me through it. I even got to sit outside at the end and get some fresh air before it rained.

pss. Please pray for Ken's artificial leg. It doesn't fit very well and they're teaching him to walk on it.

Hate to ask...

but would you "consider me" ????

Got denied from extra consideration from Soc. sec. to get funding for medications. They say I make too much. 1/2 of what I make each month goes for one pain patch... By the time I buy all the medications, there's hardly anything left. Fortunately, I have 2 great daughters to take care of me.

Please pray I can get it straightened out.

Still waiting on the new dialysis place. I've been approved and they have a time slot, except because I go a long time, they need to figure out how to fit me in.

waa waa waa.... I think I'll go eat a worm!

Have a great week.

Dan

Independendence Day

Good dialysis yesterday.  Other than bleeding all over the place when I got done.

 

Feeling good and looking forward to spending the day with my oldest son and family

 

Pray for our military people.  Thank God for keeping this country safe.

 

Love,  Dan

thanks

for your prayers...

 

another good day at dialysis.

 

Well, I put in to transfer my dialysis place.  It's in Taylor behind the UAW just S. of the catholic church.  Not sure how long it will take.  I'd like to ask prayer that there would be a place for me.  I think it will be a good move.

 

Stacey H. and her husband have been much on my mind and prayers.  Please pray with me about them.

 

Also, I'd like to invite you out to pray with me before church (8:45am to 9:05am).  We meet before church to pray about the services, Pastor, the teachers, and all the other ministries.  We'd love to have you!
