Still Out here, and alive...

i am getting stronger each day, but a long process it is, thank you all...ed

But not neccessarily well,

My stomach is bothering me,

And a pulled muscle in my rib cage is keeping me prone,

So all I can say is I stay very near home...

 

My breathing seems labored,

Hot & cold flashes abound,

If I don't hold tight to my walker,

You'll see me on the ground rolling around...

 

Keep those prayers coming, 

They do help, I know this now,

And send some in for Rene,

As with her aunt, me & her business,

 She is also out and running...

So glad Rene now takes better care of her and you let her do it. Always we need others for helping us. I know I need to lay off sweets and pasta as my blood sugar was up and I am not diabetic.

I could not take it any longer. I ask Mr Ed about you. This is good news. Good news is from the lord. My AD Notices went to spam so I have been lost in space. I believe I am back. My prayers for you are true. God brought me through, He will do the same for you. God bless you, Rene, her aunt and all of your surroundings. Rufuz too!

We pray as we breathe, EdBear, and happily we are all puffing away on your behalf and empathising with all those baby steps you are making... Patience is hard to learn at any age, yet the satisfaction of gaining strength, and the release of the old "feel-good factor" when you realise you've just lapped your motorhome in 0.65 of a second faster time than the lap before keeps both mind and spirit humming! :)) I'm still halfway through putting together a CD of terrible jokes and poetry recitals for you... I keep having to update my messages on there, too, as you progress... so, by the time you get it at Christmas you will be training for the New York marathon... and at the very least, heading for the hills at superquick speed rather than listen to yet another prissy Kate B rendition of some totally unsavoury joke! :)) AND I've got your phone number by me, so beware lest I make a spot-check call on you sometime soon to make sure you've not got your head stuck in the honeypot again...!! Rene is a total wonder and if her aunt and business could run on prayer-power alone, both would soon be doing very well on Wall Street... You stick with the programme, Buster, and keep that walker walkin... LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU, ED!! TAKE CARE! XXXX

Glad to hear that you are still 'out there,' and alive, Bro,
Now get outside with that walker and get some fresh air - Go!

(But don't try Brother Edvard's 0-60 in five seconds yet - take it a tad slower.)

Li'l Brother Ed, you can't imagine how relieved and happy make me the knowledge that you are recuperating strength and health. As everybody is busy praying, I told Ma and PeeWee that we gonna fixed that walker of yours to help you get moving from 0 to 60 in five seconds so you don't get bored.
Take care and holler now and then so we can hear ya!

I'll keep you in prayer,here's a long one for you to memorize and say.;-) Great to see you Bro,enjoy God's company!

Holy Spirit Lord of light
From your pure celestial height
your pure beaming radiance give

Come Father of the poor
Come with treasures that endure
Come you light of all who live

You of all consolers best
Visiting the troubled breast
Most refreshing peace bestow

You in toil are comfort sweet
Pleasant coolness in the heat
Solace in the midst of woe

Light immortal Light divine
visit now this heart of mine
And my inmost being fill

When you take your grace away
Nothing pure in man will stay
All our good is turned to ill

Heal my wounds my strength renew
On my dryness pour your dew
Wash the stains of guilt away


Bend the stubborn heart and will
Melt the frozen warm the chill
Guide the steps that go astray

Grant to us who evermore
You confess and you adore
Your sacred seven fold gifts

Give us comfort when we die
Give us life with you on high
Give us joy that never ends!

Dearest Ed, There's not a lot more I can add that hasn't already been said to you, and I most certainly Am in full agreeance with the power of prayer and of Divine intervention on your behalf. I feel it is No small miracle that you are with us today. The Lord obviously has need for you to be around for a while yet mate...
I just want to share this with you. You would know how nasty and/or potentially deadly Swine Flu is to those who are immune suppressed. Respiratory, etc. Well, My Son who is on antirejection meds for his Kidney transppant tested positive for the hn51 strain, but we didn't know till he was through the worst of it!!! His little Bro..who is Type 1 diabetic also tested positive, was very sick for 2 days but needed no hospital intervention..I hit the deck quite hard with the virus as did both my girls...and the crazy scot, well he's still fine amid all the contagious germs. Now, you tell me? The hand of the Father over all of us? I believe so with all my heart. I had been fearful of my family being exposed since the outbreaks here started, but they got it anyway and I've no idea where from..Still the Lord loves us, and protected us from the enemies snares, again!!

He loves you Ed, and will not forsake you..let his strength flow into your veins, and look forward to your recovery more and more..
Bless you much dear friend.
From all of us here downunder :)
