Last week my throat felt sore. I sucked on some cough drops and didn’t think much about it. Then I found myself awake a night coughing. The next thing I knew I was feeling miserable. So, a trip to the doctor confirmed that I have a ‘bad’ cold. Medicine was ordered and I took it and today I feel some better but still have a ways to go before feeling back to my old self.
Sometimes we have to go get ‘professional’ help. With help we can get better quicker and suffer less. This is one of the reasons I go to two small groups. I listen to others who know more about some areas of life than I do. I not only listen but I learn some skills that I can use to help me suffer less. As I approach the Thanksgiving season I am thankful for others who have helped me through life in many ways.
November 17th, 2010 at 5:05 pm Ron, I’m sorry you are feeling poorly. I was sick with the flu on Monday and spent all day in what HB refers to as the “queen’s room.” Feeling “not normal” certainly helps us to appreciate the days when we go about our daily work and play not thinking about how blessed we are to be in good health. Will you and Phyllis please pray for a little 8-year-old girl who was airlifted to a New York hospital today because she has a life-threatening spinal surgery to face in the next day or so. Her name is Abby. Thank you, Ron.
