Hello Everyone,

Well,  I've been home now for a few days now and it definately  has been blessing,  not only do I get to see and hear my family, I dont get woken up every few hours to get my vitals check or stuck with a needle of some sort.  I was fortunate though I had some really nice nurses who really wanted me to get well.  One whose name was Cheryl was pretty funny, she would come in and joke around with me. She kinda reminded me of aunt or something not necessarily one of my aunts but OH I dont know.  One the other nurses had a student with her and asked me if she could clean the wound on my neck, for  you know "Expierence Sake" and being the good patient I am I said yes ( Snicker Snicker) if any have read the blog you will remember that I said some facial paralysis and numbness would exist (still praying nothing permanant) well after saying this out loud to the student when she had gotten close enough I jerked and pulled away making a sound like "sssssss" you know like it was gonna hurt  (heeeheeeeheeee) and me knowing full well I would'nt feel a thing,  the student jumped and apologized even though she never actually touched me.  So I in all suriousness said again that that side of my face is totally numb I can't feel a thing she commenced to start again and as soon as she got close enough, well I did it again this time we all had a good laugh.  Hmm! Now that I look back on that she never came back to my room with the other nurse.  Well  I beileve that tho good Lord above has kept me in pretty good spirits about all this and I thank Him for that because this is pretty serious stuff  but never the less it is all in His hands and that is where it should be.  There is a saying in my house about worrying and it goes like this

Worrying does not Empty

Tomorrow of its Troubles

It just Empties Today

of its Strength!!!

Staci a grood friend of Dusti's read me a verse about being in such good spirits from Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

The healing process has definately started and I am getting some feeling back in my face sometimes in the form of intense pain sometimes an itchy or tingly feeling never the less I am rejoicing.  In Mathew chapter 9 verse 35 it says  And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.    I truely believe that this same Jesus has been in Charlotte and in Cleveland N.C for the last couple of weeks and He is continually healing me.  Well I am still pretty weak and tire out rather easy and even just typing is hard on the left side of my upper body so I will post some more later.

Thanks for all your prayers and blessing

Gilbert.
