A Page In My Journal

FOR TODAY: April 26, 2011
  
Outside my window... It is about 75 degrees and getting dark.

Hearing...some birds still singing even though it is getting late.
I am thinking... how I am almost on the verge of a pity party today.

From My Kitchen...... I just opened a can of cream of chicken soup for me but made "Sweet Hunter" a wonderful looking hot ham & cheese sandwich.

Thankful for...myTMJ doctor. I actually love all of my doctors. I am blessed.

 I am remembering... my surgery for TMJ back in 1998 and how I thought it was all fixed.
I have done so good until recently. Remember my vertigo? They think the jaw is causing it.

 Creating...a dishcloth....I know...imagine that! lol

 I am reading...some papers from my TMJ specialist today.
 
  I am hoping...to feel better tomorrow. Had to have my jaw set today and got splints for my TMJ and I am so sore.

  On my mind...the fact that with my tmj one of my jaw joints is bone to bone and  you can't eat or sleep but our medical insurance will not pay anything on it. I think that is just crazy! When I had surgery years ago our insurance paid their part.  Now...different insurance?  Nothing.
 
  Noticing that... this page in my journal today is all about me!!! I really don't mean for it to be.  I look at others that are so sick.....I have nothing to complain about. I am so blessed.

 Around the house... it is quiet and peaceful.

 I am praying for...an unspoken request and my friend J. that just got to come home after a 4 month's stay in the hospital.  Thank you all for praying.  She is a miracle.

  My plans for the rest of the week...working & cooking for this weekend. We have a big Assembly at our church this weekend starting Friday night through Sunday night. Every year we stay with our friends J & E and we plan meals together & eat out together for this special weekend at our church but she is the one that has been so sick.  They will not be able to come. We sure will miss being with them.

 One of my favorite things..."Our Little Hilton" (aka hunting cabin) I NEED to go there soon!

 I am wearing... the cutest yellow pajamas from Walmart!  I am a pajama person!

 One of my favorite quotes...What worries you, masters you.

 Hoping....that my unanswered prayer will be answered soon.

Here is my picture thought.....


In this little box is 2 splints. (actually one is in my mouth) I will wear it all the time.
Then at night I add another one. 
Jaw set, several shots later.....
3000.00 so far!
Hopefully this will prevent another surgery.
Now see why this post is all about me!!!!
But you have to do what you have to do!
