Praise the Lord a lil late...

Ok, a few weeks ago (probably more like a month), I told you that I had a big "praise the Lord" to post. Well, even though it's late, I'm still going to post it and add another to it.

First of all, I had been needing a good computer for some time. Mine had kicked the bucket & I was having to use my brother's school computer for everything. I asked a man on myholiness if he could send me a certain disk & that would hopefully fix my old computer. He told me yes & we got to talking. Somewhere in the course of our conversation over the last 2? months, he decided that he would give me a computer(tower). It is the most awesome computer I've ever even dreamed of. It has just about everything you could possibly want a computer to have. Not only that, but when I set it up, we found out my monitor wouldn't work with it... so I thought guess I'm out of luck... I told him about it and guess what he did?? He went out and ordered a 19 inch LCD screen & had it mailed to my house. In addition to the tower, in the first box... were surround sound speakers & a new mouse. I can't help but praise the Lord enough for all the blessings He has given me through my new friend :-) Kurt, if you decide to read this... THANKS A MILLION FOR EVERYTHING!!

Secondly, almost 3 weeks ago I started having severe pain in my jaws. It hurt to talk, eat, do anything that meant moving my jaws. I went to my family doctor & he said TMJ & arthritis... gave me anti-inflammatories & high potency pain killers. Two weeks later, I was still having the pain & it didn't seem to be getting any better. I went to church last Sunday night and cried through most all of it. They anointed me and it didn't seem to get any better. When everyone went to do the Pastor Appreciation pounding, I asked my friend that we had rode with if she could take me back to our car at her house (about a mile down the road). Once we were in her car, she was like I think you need the ER so that's where we ended up. My sis-in-law was the nurse that took me back to the room. My blood pressure was sky high. The PA came in and checked me out & he said I think your Dr. is right but I'm going to give you a muscle relaxant and different pain pills & I'll check on you again in 30 mins. I took the pills & we waited... nothing happened... no relief!! I was like I want to go home this is ridiculous! I stuck it out & he came back... said well I can give you a shot of something like morphine & you can stay another 20 minutes. I was miserable, so I consented to that. It didn't really take effect at the hospital but on the way home I felt quite a bit better & I ended up sleeping most of Monday. After that, I have taken maybe 2 muscle relaxers but thank the Lord for HIS touch because I have not had to even come close to touching the pain pills!! Thank you, JESUS!!
