Good Morning my friends from my desk here on home turf!!
I came home on January 6th after arrangements had been put in place and my wonderful daughter took care of it all and waited for me to arrive.
My life has significantly altered now . . . I have a companion to accompany me everywhere I walk, namely an oxygen tank called Oscar. Sometimes it travels in a back pack, sometimes it is in a trolley, but always within reach. Yes, it is heavy (3Kg) and, I find, complicated to strap into either packs but it helps to stop a lot of my breathing problems.
I wont go into the details of why or how or when I ended up in hospital but tell you that I didn't realise how ill I was and it was thanks to a Locum Doctor who saved my life . . . . there's no two ways about that . . .
On the plus side . . . I had a marvellous Christmas and New Year, the best for a long time. I feel as though I have been away and stayed for two weeks in one of the best hotels . . . honestly, it was so good. The staff . . . Oh! I don't need to tell you, you know . . .
So today being WOYWW I wander into my studio and what do I find . . . .
The desk:
Just as I left it all.
This craft space will HAVE to be sorted now as there needs to be room for Oscar in this crowded room . . . .
It's good to be home, I miss all that I had over Christmas/New Year things like the heat!!, being waited on, food cooked for me. BUT
I am back and looking forward to this new life.
On a purely Christian note . . I have prayed for healing for a fair few months but I was like the man on the roof until The Locum Doctor came on the scene with the ultimate life boat. I received a Scripture while in hospital telling me my prayers were answered and then another to tell me that my future would be different but it was assured.
Without Jesus I could not have come through this, without His love and care to support me there would be nothing. I give Him all the praise, thanks and glory.
It's good to hear things have improved for you healthwise even if it means needing the oxygen....you sound very possitive about it all.

Oh that is good news Christine. Let's hope Oscar does the trick and improves your life so that you can enjoy every minute. Good health is a blessing that is so easily taken for granted. x x Jo
ReplyDeleteYou're tough Christine and I know you'll make this work. Sending very gentle and happy woyww hugs, Angela x11x
ReplyDeleteA wonderful testimony Christine. Praise to our Father and God. To be toting Oscar around may not be fun, but a great help to you. Good luck with sorting your craft room to make room for Oscar. Happy WOYWW. Angela #12
ReplyDeleteWell, I wish you and Oscar a happy twosome for a long time ahead. So glad a locum came to your rescue and even more glad that you had a wonderful two weeks in hospital being looked after. Not something you want so when it happens and it's good it is extra good.
ReplyDeleteI will share my story of my miracle with you some time.
Hugs, Neet 4 xx
So glad you are better! I was told in 2014 that I would be stuck with something for life! In 2018, I received a letter from my managing physician announcing that I was in remission. That my disease was no longer clinically active. I always know that Hashem has the final word in every situation! I am glad your prayers were answered!
ReplyDeleteNew friends are a good thing! I will continue to daven for you a Refuah Shlemah! Looking forward to seeing your crafty creations once you get going again!

SO glad things were caught and that you are back home now CHristine. Sounds like an extended hospital stay was what was required. Looking forward to seeing how Oscar gets decorated! Quick visit after work! Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear you are home, although Oscar sounds a bit cumbersome... glad the locum doctor and the staff in hospital were so amazing. Take care my lovely. Happy WOYWW. Helen #1
ReplyDeleteYour faith keeps you strong Christine, no doubt. I offer thanks for the Locum, and agree that as you get poorly by degrees, you get used to just struggling on without realising how bad you're getting. Am very glad that you have Oscar, it must be very reassuring...however complicated! I expect your Christmas swaps will still be well received, indeed, as a sign that you're recovering, nothing would be better.
ReplyDeleteHallelujah - what a great revelation, it is such a blessing to have Jesus at our side and also for you to share as such in these unusual times. Sometimes we don't see the wood for the trees and the boat, helicopter etc, so glad you saw the Locum and he guided your way. Love how you have named Oscar, that's excellent. Praying for continued good management of your condition, peace that only God can bring us and joy deep in your heart. Blessings and Hugs BJ#15
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you are home and love that you have named your oxygen tank. They can be cumbersome but are also a really good way to be able to be mobile again and take trips out etc. Glad your locum was excellent too
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my desk already
