An Answered Prayer

Seeing as I went to bed at eleven and have to get up at seven, I should be all snuggled in next to the two mutts and we all should be snoring.  So if you haven’t guessed, they are sleeping sweetly and I can’t keep my eyes closed even with duct tape.  So here I am and thought I put a little entry about and old friend of mine whom I have known way back to my high school days when I was delivering flowers for a friends florist shop and he did the same thing for his mom’s business.

Anyhow over the years and miles, tho we are not to far apart in age of homes, we have still managed to stay in touch and share our lives.  Usually out a the bad luck of some poor innocent accident victim or a cold house fire in the middle of the night because we were both volunteer fire fighters for neighboring townships.

Well as Steve started to age and not take really good care of himself he developed diabetes and one of the first things that has gone wrong with him has been his kidneys.  Each kidney weighed in excess of ten pounds and were nearly useless to him the past few years.  So the great wonders of medicine have now removed both diseased kidneys from his body and sent them away for more experimentation in hopes someone else can benefit from his agony and have something new created.  Anyhow I got an email from him tonite saying he is home and is already hooked up to a gadget that he has dyalisis with and maybe will be blessed enough to get a donor kidney in a few weeks.  I am even going to offer up one of mine, and see if it would fit.  Heck, I got two and I am willing to share if I can.  So just a shout out to the Lord for his guidance of all the medical staff and all those who took care of him.  I know that if he get a kidney we will once again meet up out at some firefighter scene, and after the work is done, there will be a lot of hugging and praising God going on.

Well maybe i will try to lay down again.  I have a 8:30 appointment with a psychatrist that deal with this worker comp stuff.  I am quite nervous cause I’ve never had to spill my guts to a stranger before and they said be prepared to stay maybe two or three hours.  I really just need to sleep so I don’t look like a zombied out freak!  Have a great day everyone.  God bless you all and if I don’t write back soon, you’ll know where they kept me.  Please tell them that I really am not crazy yet!
