A JOYFUL NOISE

This post is going to cover lots of things including a quick overview of the Women's Conference I went to with my friend, Gina on September 14th as well as some other updates. As mentioned,  I had the privilege to go to W.Va to hear an outstanding speaker, Beth Moore speak at a Women's Conference.  You never know what the topic is about until you get there.  It was an AMAZING experience, despite some mishaps along the way ( though it was quite frustrating and irritating, we both agreed it was worth the trip).  I was still not feeling well with my walking pneumonia and chronic pain, but with medication, I was able to pull through.  Worship in Song was phenomenal.  Travis and his band did an outstanding job in leading us in worship; We started out with the Doxology and ended with Our God is Greater.   All songs fit so well with what God laid on Beth's heart to share with us.   Some of the songs, I ...

Physical Therapy.   My neurologist prescribed this for me in hopes that it will help my neck pain as well as the back of my head pain.   My neurologist calls it a different form of tension headaches, not the same kind one would get that would be relieved from taking and Ibuprofen or Tylenol.  It is one that is caused by what he thinks a lot of neck spasms that is shoot up to the head.    Sometimes I think my pain in the more "back" of the head pain more than pain from the neck. I think, I've been to about 6 rounds of PT so far.  I've felt maybe a little relief in my neck but really none in my head :( so far which is discouraging.   My therapist and my therapist aide has been encouraging and telling me that it will take time and has been really encouraging me to continue exercises at home.   The massage therapy at PT place at Augusta Health Lifetime Center really feels good during PT days, and believe it or not,...

In the past 20 days I have been one sick lady.   I had a pretty bad sinus infection mid August.  When I get them, I usually catch them in time and go to the doctor pretty quickly, but this time, I was trying to see if my body could fight it off naturally because I am already taking so much medication.  I finally called my doctor and she sent in some antibiotics and cough medication.  I felt better with my sinuses after a little over a week; but I never stopped coughing and then my cough got worse and worse and my chest got tight, and I started to wheeze quite a bit as well as cough up phlegm, and then I started to run a fever (ugh!!!).   I didn't think it would be anything since I just finished my antibiotics, so after 4 days of fever and coughing, I went to see the doctor and it was confirmed I have a really bad case of bronchitis (I went to see the doctor this past Friday).  I'm on the mend, but still coughing; the doctor says that is what will ...
