HEALTH UPDATE:
I would've posted this earlier, but I wasn't real sure what to tell anyone. I went to the emergency room at BSA in Amarillo on Friday with a severe headache and dizziness, and my left eye was swollen shut and I was unable to open it, even with help. After several tests, and a C-T scan, they determined that I needed emergency sinus surgery ( I was hoping for a shot and a course of antibiotics).
So, I was flown to UMC for the surgery. I have an infection that has gotten into the bone and hole has been eaten into the crainial cavity. The brain is protected by a tough lining, that appears to be unaffected as of yet.
They started me on a regime of multiple IV antibiotics and steroids and after that has a chance to work it's magic, they will do surgery tomorrow (Tuesaday). Their main concern is meningitis may develop with or without surgery, but is most likely without surgery.
I started feeling way better yesterday, and so far, today. No pain or dizziness, and I can see out of both eyes again. I really missed being at church yesterday, but Floyd French told me that the sermon from the substitute preacher was way better than normal, so that made me feel better . . .
Anyway, prayers would be appreciated, but are not necessary. I know I will be with my Savior, Jesus Christ, one day and I am ready for that. I hope that day is not anytime soon, as I feel like I still have unfinished business here. If you happen to be in the Lubbock area, come by UMC, room 447, and see me.
I love you all!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
