A Hodgepodge-UPDATE Youngatheart (Nancy) /Procedure Friday/A Distraction

[JonesCarpeDiem]

I spoke with her daughter yesterday. Nancy was being seen by her Dr. when I called and I was leaving on my day trip. Nancy is in a wonderful rehab center. She is extremely weak. No estimate of time she will be there yet. Keep her in her prayers.

My procedure Friday.Smoking causes the valve that lets the food go into your stomach to weaken and let the acid backup into your esophagus when you sleep. After a time, this can eventually turn into Barrett's Esophagus with high grade dysplasia. (Pre cancerous changes in esophageal cells) I'm going in Friday morning and they are going to burn those cells off from the inside.)

A Distraction-Slideshow Of A Road Trip I Took Yesterday

Finally, I suggest you DON'T SMOKE.

Then, give it the time it's going to take to stop thinking about it!

Beautiful Pics! 

That is one thing that does help me. On Easter after church we went hiking and found an old slave cementary. It had such an odd feeling there. I guess I felt sorrow for them and wondered about their lives. Alabama has so many places like that. 

God Bless with you procedure. It is crazy what we have done to ourselves willingly.
