Saturday's went well. Boy, the patients are sure talkative.
Hoping today will bring me news that there are enough spaces at dialysis in N.C. for me. Because I want to leave on the 9th with my son and daughter-in-law.
I was glad to hear from Al that Janet is recovering from surgery. She really needs our prayers.
Love, Dan

Wow! It's Friday all ready!
..Seems like I missed a few posts.
Actually, dialysis is going well. The staff are really friendly. Because there are adequate numbers, the place is relatively quiet. Any alarms (normal in a dialysis center) are dealt with in a short time.
Each day as I'm feeling better, I feel a need for my own transportation. I'm only a mile from the clinic and feel like I'm such a burden on everyone.
On another note, I'm trying to get things arranged to spend a month in North Carolina with my son Jackie and his wife Kari and of course Charlotte. If you're the praying type, I'd appreciate a prayer about that. I'd be leaving on Sept. 9th and need there to be an opening on the 8th so I can get dialysis a day earlier. Man am I a high maintenance person!
I'm really grateful for the invite. wew hoo!
Please pray for Vince Sr this week. He's a good guy and needs our prayers.
Looking forward to Church this Sunday. Pastor's message have been real helpful, and have caused me to look at the way I think about things. The messages are worth listening to again to try to apply them.
Have a great weekend!

Thank you Lord!
Just heard from Al that Janet's surgery went well.
Please continue to pray for her recovery and also for Al's health problem.

prayer request
I was talking to the social worker Thursday and was telling her that one medication I buy costs 1/3 of my income per month.
Anyway, They are going to ask the doctor if there is any other less expensive, but effective medication. So that's my prayer request. If you are on medications, many of you already know they are expensive and if you have to have them, you have to have them.
I'm not complaining. Even if there is not another medication to replace it. God has been so good to me and you have been so good that I don't have the right to complain.
What I'm more concerned with is some of you. Janet is going to have surgery Monday I think. Please pray that she would be at peace about it.
Please pray for Aaron for another matter.
The absolute truth is that God is sufficient for all our needs!

Ah yes!
Another succesful dialysis!
I'm enjoying some of the techniques they use. Just little things that seem so make it more pleasant.
Please pray that I may reach Craig, Roxanne, and Luana (patients) with the gospel. The way it's laid out we have some opportunities to talk. Not a lot, but some.

Brace worked
The back brace worked on Sunday. Was able to stand much longer.
Weak today.
Please pray for Janet and Al. She has surgery soon. Pray it works out.
Lesson learned this week:
If you make an agreement between friends, write it down. There can be much misunderstanding on both sides later if you don't.
You could lose a good friend.

Friendly place
The new dialysis center seems to be working out.
The people are friendly and the patients are kidding around which, to me, is a sign of a good place. Our chairs are not hidden so much from each other, that if you want, you could talk to the person next to you.
I know there is always a honeymoon period, but the relaxed atmosphere indicates to me, so far, that this is a good place.
Another thing it that the dialysis machine alarms aren't constantly going off. If they do, the tech corrects the problem in short order.
I, once again, have another opportunity to make a first good impression.
Today I'm looking forward to the worship service to hear what Pastor has to say. I'm also looking forward to hear how the picnic at the Sturgill's went.
I bought a back brace so I could stand longer during the service and to talk to our members and visitors during break time. I've really missed that these last months. God has been so good to me, I want to pass that on to others and to see how I can encourage them.
Boy, this letter is full of a lot of I's. Going to have to work on that.
Please pray for Carolyn and Al and Vaughn as they deal with physical issues.
There are so many people with spiritual issues. Help me by your prayers to be an encouragement, if at all, to as many as the Lord allows.
You be an encouragement to others that God puts in your life too.
