Health Update

Hello friends,
Just a short note to say that I am feeling better. I have been through a very intense set of drugs and hopefully they have cured the problem. I've been on steriods for the first time in my life and man it's been a ride! I only slept about 8 hours in the first three days that I was on them! Today is my last day of medication so I am praying that the drugs have actually gotten rid of whatever I had and not just masked the symptoms for the last week. I really don't want a relapse. The doctor said that if the drugs didn't work that she would admit me to the hospital. I really don't want that. Murray keeps telling me that it would make a good blog but I do have my limits as to what I wish to experience here.
I would have to travel three hours to go to a good hospital so I wouldn't have anyone to visit me but the bigger problem would be that meals are to be provided by family at the hospital so I would have no one to bring me food! Rebecca said she wouldn't let me go to the hospital here because they have three patients per bed!! Ya, don't think I'm quite that ready to be submerged into the culture!
I would like to thank all of you who have been praying for me. i was completely overwhelmed with the response of emails. It has really helped me to know that I have so many people who care about me, even if they don't know me. This has been a very long and tiring trial to endure. I praise God for being my strength to endure and not give up my purpose for being here. It's been not only physically draining but also emotionally trying. For those of you who know me know how much I like to be sick and unable to fulfill me responsibilities! It's torture. I will be very glad to be back to teaching on monday, God willing.
I would appreciate your continued prayers for my health. I only have 2 and 1/2 more months to go. God bless you.
