Hello friends,
Sorry it has taken me so long to post today, I have been asleep most of the day. I had a very difficult night with extreme head pain and a fever of 101.7. I was awake until after 3:30 am because of the pain, but was finally given enough pain medication to allow me to settle down and sleep.
In consult with the doctors, we have decided that the way I am feeling may be due to Sinusitus and not a lung infection. I had a CT of my sinuses about an hour ago, so hopefully tomorrow morning I will know what is going on. I am not used to such severe headaches.
Despite the discomfort I am in, I look around at others here and realize how lucky I am. Things could be so much worse. The man in the room next to mine is a quadriplegic. As I lay awake last night trying to deal with my own pain, I wondered how I would cope were I him. I have the ability to get out of my bed, walk to the bathroom, feed myself, and the list goes on and on. We don't have to look far to find someone whose suffering seems so much greater than ours; I prayed for God to bring this man strength and comfort and that when I am suffering to let my memory of him remind me how blessed I truly am!
May God bless you all! Nancy
You've Been Given the Gift of Life, Give it Back!

Nancy,
You continue to amaze me and inspire me. I find it so AWESOME that you can find peace and joy in the simplest things in life. With as much pain as you are in, I find it so touching that you are able to look at the bright side and praise God for all that you do have. Believe me, I thank God many times a day for blessing my life with such an amazing friend as you. You are truly one of a kind and my life is so much richer with you in it. Thank you for reminding me to take a good look at what we have in our lives and how grateful we all are. I love you and I hope your head pain eases! Keep the faith and stay strong!
Love,
Debbie
Nancy,
I often feel that way, too - it takes about ten minutes of being in the hospital to realize there are many people in there with very difficult situations. Our road is difficult, too, but we are blessed in many ways, for sure.
I sure wish your headaches were better. Gees! You need your rest and that's hard to do with a splitting headache! Let us know what happens with the CT scan.
Maybe you will have some beautiful twist of fate and receieve lungs while you are there. We are all praying for that.
Stay strong and try to rest your body! And your mind! Neither are easy to do in the hospital!
Much love and best wishes,
Cammi
Nancy,
Hey saw a spelling error, couldn't handle it.. Ha ha! Hope that makes you laugh!
I love the positive tone I got from your post! I can see that smile gleaming! YAE! You're right tho, there always seems to be someone in worse condition than we are. Luckily you see that:)
Keep on resting. We'll be praying about the headaches! I'll be praying that they can do something for the Sinus situation to relieve all the pain!
Keep smilen lady:) You are amazing, and a gift!
Love Always,

Hi Nancy,
I hope you have a better day and that you slept better last night. Hopefully there is something that the doctors can do without surgery to help your sinuses. Even when things get really tough, you are right, they could always be more challenging. You knowing that and being able to use that for strength is amazing. Also remember the amazing amount of prayers going out for your strength and recovery too. You are so loved!
Love and hugs,
Amy
