Free again?

Well I have been discharged from the hospital again. Yeah! Now I can relax at home and I have a new set of 4 walls to stare at. And a wonderful recliner. And nobody to come wake me up in the middle of the night to make sure that I am still a live and didn’t die in my sleep. Well we will once again see how long I can stay out of the hospital this time. Any anyone want to make bets? Few days, a week, couple of weeks, a month?

How are you today?

I feel a lot like Utah weather it is always changing, you don’t like what it is doing outside wait ten minutes and it will change.

A lot of people ask me “how I am?”, doctors, nurses, e-mails, others come in through out the day and I have a very hard time answering them. Sometimes I just say yes I am here.

So I decided to write down my many possible answers.
I am:
- tired
- fine/pretty good
- have energy
- have no energy
- ready to go for a walk
- knees going to give out need to lay down
- stiff/sore in my back, pain level 4 or 5
- hungry
- belly is full and bloated
- feeling sick, going to throw up
- need to go to the bathroom
- exhausted need to sleep
- need to get up out of this bed
- wide awake
- sound asleep

and that is all within the last 1 hour. Now times that by 24 and you start to get a picture of my day.

So how do you answer the common question “How are you doing?”

Test of the new beta blogger

I am always one to try new things :-) So I finally got around to switching over to the new Beta version. hopefully enough bugs have been worked out that everything will work as expected

I am tired...

Yes I am tired of being sick and going up and down on this roller coaster ride. But I still have hope!

Isaiah 40:28-31 (ASV)
“28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.”

Or from the Message:
Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening?
God doesn't come and go. God lasts. He's Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind.

Proverbs 3:5, 6 (NIV)
“5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Romans 8:28
“28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

Still here...

I am getting so sick of being in the hospital. And hospital food lost its excitement long time ago. The only way I am getting through this is on God strength my strength ran out long time ago. so until God provides the next miracle I continue to wait and sleep, and sleep.

I know it is long time over due and I haven't posted things to the blog for the entire month of November, So now I am getting caught up again. I had a bunch of postings in my head and in my journal program but I never hit the send button. So now I am caught up I think. So be sure and check out November in the archive if October was the last thing you read.

So much for going shopping

I am now back in the hospital.

It is always something new. This time I was throwing up blood. The doctors don’t like hearing things like that. So from emergency room it is straight to ultrasound where I got a another parasentisis tap. Which didn’t really do much other then hurt. Then it is up to ICU for a few days. And more tests.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well I am have a lot to be thankful for this year. God has provided for all of my needs this year.

Even though things haven’t worked out in the time scale/frame that I wanted it to happen, God has not given me more then I can bare.

Oh by the way I have made it a week out of the hospital and can enjoy my recliner chair, I know I need to walk but it is so comfy and my full belly keeps me down.

Where has Micah gone?

I am free! (Sort of) after 33 days in a row I have been discharged now we will see how long it is before I am back in. And what will bring me back this time?

Updated Statistics: (Days spent in Hospital 104)
September - 10
October - 29
November - 24

So what is up with Micah?

In an effort fight off bordem I have taken up some new hobbies. I have been learning to knit, crochet, cross-stitch. And there are the old hobbies I had as a kid playing with Lego’s. We found that Megablocks Probuilder series has some really cool models and they cost quite a bit less then Lego’s super kits.



So I have been doing other things just waiting in the hospital for something to change or be sent home.

As hard as it is to wait God is still in control and it will work out in his perfect time.

So much for daily outings

I have had passes to wonder around but today they took them away so no more walking around in the world outside of these of these four walls. Now I need to find something to fill my my time while we wait.

Yesterday when we went out we had a little more fun and excitement than I had planned for... I saw a picture of the mountains and I had my mom pull off on the side of the freeway so I could get a picture. On the way over to the side of the road we hit some roadside debris, when we got back up to speed we started hearing noises, and a bit later when we stopped at a light we found had a flat tire. Right when I was suppose to be back in the hospital to get the next set of drugs and IV junk. We called for help and Denny my boss at the TV station was on their way to lunch and was right around the corner. So they were able to stop help my mom change the tire and take me to the hospital. Thank you Lord for providing once again for our needs.

So was it worth stopping for the picture?
