3 Days Briefly

I'm going to be less conversational in this post just because I want to get the info in, but don't want to spend long typing, so here are the bullets:

• Thursday:
• Stayed down and low key for the day
• No attacks or crashes
• CC & I Went to see Jeff Dunham at the Arco Arena; our dear friends, Craig and Beth Fetter, joined us for the evening and we had a fun time together.
• Blood sugar is still running consistently high (mid to upper 200s)
• Blood pressure is averaging high as well but not dangerously so: 140's to 180's over 90's to 107
• Friday:
• CC's mom, Nana, passed away in the earlier morning hours after several years battling Multiple Myloma Cancer.  All four of her kids (CC, Chris, Pam and Kim) are doing as well as should be expected.  I am saddened to lose her here, but am excited for her to finally be with Jesus as well as Pa (her husband who passed away several years ago).  We know, for a fact, that she is no longer in the terrible, relentless pain now that she is with Him and I am blessed to the core that God would consider sharing her with us for these last 6 years, specifically.  I love you, Nana and I miss you.
• Attack in the afternoon.  Took me out through night time.
• Blood sugar is still running consistently high (mid to upper 200s)
• Blood pressure is averaging high as well but not dangerously so: 140's to 180's over 90's to 107
• Saturday:
• Woke up early this morning with much pain, especially in my right arm and shoulder.  This lasted through the whole day, even until now...(it's 11:42 PM as I type)
• Went to see Joshua's gymnastics class and it was cool to see him working on the exercises and moves.  I was, however, an angry papa bear when I watched his coach and "assistant" coach become and remain disconnected from hands on training of the 4 kids in his class as well as the youthful, arrogant, demeaning attitude of the assistant coach who I think needs a little "parental-consultation" from me; I wouldn't need long...
• Got a call from my bro, Scott Rose (in North Dakota), which completely made my day and weekend!  He even has a webcam that I was able to view while talking to him for the latter part of the phone call.  I miss him very, very much and seeing him gave me a real boost (even though he's lost weight and weighs way less than me [jerk] :o)).  Without question, the best music I've ever written and the music I am MOST proud of (spiritually and intellectually)was written and even performed with Scott.  I'm a blessed guy to be able and allowed to call him my friend.  May God allow us to write some more together.
• Ok, I made a fruit smoothie (large)
• Played some Xbox with Joshy (got stressed from my character getting killed so much...)
• Had an attack because I made the large fruit smoothie and got X-stressed...my new term.  :-)
• 3 or 4 MAJOR sweating bouts (1 just before the attack and 2 or 3 while in the attack) to the extent that sweat was rolling into my eyes and down into my ears (I was reclined in the black Lay-Z-Boy) to which I could do nothing but bear it out...not fun.
• Would like to say that the hot weather SUCKS!!!

So there it is.  Church will be tomorrow morning and my hope and prayer is for no attack tomorrow and a miraculous sparing of logical and routine soreness in the morning and for the day.
