Jim woke intermittently, beginning at 2 a.m. I thought it should have been later. We finally got out of bed at 7 a.m. He said his tummy felt okay. No BM, but he did have gas. He wondered if discontinuation/completion of the antibiotic for urinary tract infection had anything to do with why he couldn't do No. 1. He had been able to go on his own for a few days prior to Sunday, but then on Sunday, he couldn't do much - on his own or using the catheter. Today, it remained the same.
He had blood drawn today at MedLabs, then went to Klauer Optical to see what could be done about his buried contact - the contact was removed and he is to rest the eye, putting the contact in later today or possibly tomorrow.
While at Klauer, I called his friendly urologist's office to see if his appointment with Dr. Logan Hoxie on July 14 could be sooner. We are waiting for a call back to see if that is possible. The urology appointment has been rescheduled for Thursday, July 9, at 8 a.m.
We had like 30-35 minutes to get to Lemstone Christian bookstore, which is closing its doors Tuesday, because its owners were retiring. This is the first time we'd been able to get there all month and there wasn't much left, but we did find some good buys. Items were 50 percent off.
And then off to the dentist to get a permanent filling on the tooth that was repaired with root canal on May 4 and to do a cleaning. Jim still has another tooth that needs pulled, but that appointment hasn't yet been rescheduled.
Today's devotional reading had to do with anxiety and how we should and should not handle it.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
My writings ...
Anxiety looms
and dooms us
Can I handle it?
Don't ask
Forget the me in you,
my child.
Focus on Me,
My Presence in you
for I AM with you always
and it is through Me
you are strengthened.
The question
to ask
is not
what you can handle
but instead,
what you and I
can handle
together
for without Me
you are weak
without Me
fear and uncertainty and anxiety
are your compass
Focus on Me
Be aware of Me
Remind yourself
of My Presence
with you always
You, My child,
and Me, your Lord and Savior,
we can accomplish great things
when we do it Together.

Dr. Butler's office called with INR readings, which are up quite a bit, at 4.7. Jim is not to take any coumadin tonight or Tuesday night and then have a recheck Wednesday morning.
In today's mail, we received a bill from Area Ambulance Service - for $1,102.31. Wow!
We received a letter from them as well indicating Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield will send payment directly to us and we in turn pay the ambulance service. I hope there are no issues.
