Goodness! My life is getting more busy as I get older. I thought I was starting to fall apart physically when I turned 65 years old, but it seems that I am regaining my life back and am feeling my old self again. Thank you, God. I had an unusal cough that made me sneeze and then my right eye would water. I went to an ENT specialist and he put a scope down my nose. My sinuses were clear and he decided I do not have an allergy. He told me it was acid reflux that caused me to cough and prescribed medication. Yeah, no surgery or allergies.
From there I went to a nutritionist who wants me to lose 10 pounds. I mainly have to watch my sodium level. I can do that! Bill took me swimming twice this week before going to the Senior lunch program, and I'm getting back to the exercise program I had before I hurt my foot. My foot is doing great after going to 9 therapy sessions. I had no idea physical therapy could do such wonders. I walk very normally now.
On Thursday, I had my teeth checked and cleaned. No problems there either. Dr. Corbin told me all about his recent mission trip to Guatamala. He is a young dentist who loves life and God more than money. The same morning, I saw Dr. Shaw to see how my lab report came out. He was checking my vitamin D level and told me everything looked good and that I had lost weight! Then the doctor asked me if we had seen him dance at the PowWow. He has a beautiful costume and dances very well! He also has me to check his article that comes out in the How-Ni-Kan. He has written one on mammograms and one on prostate cancer testing.
Today, we drove to Norman to have the Corolla checked over. It is 10 years old and has 54,000 miles. It runs like new! (That is because I drive the Camry everywhere.) While waiting, Bill and I shopped at Sooner Mall and ate a salad at Chik-Fil-A.
I continue to teach piano, and Bill continues to teach for GCU, and grade foreign students for the testing agency.
Our big project at the moment is Mom's 90th birthday bash. Three of my brothers (Galen, John and Roger) will be arriving from California along with my son, Kirk and little Ezekiel. David is flying from Mexico. And, of course, Noel will be here from Springfield. We expect 15 for the family dinner at Gliori's Restaurant, and 35 friends for the open house the following day at my house. Mom is excited and buying new clothes. One year ago she was in the hospital dying. God can do miracles! Today, she is radiant and has a sharp mind.
