     Marlayne Goodwrench continues to make strides in her recovery from a broken foot.

Tuesday, August 26, 2008, Nashville, Tn., 5:41 a.m., D.S.T.~

Dear Journal~

How are you this early morning?? Not even the crack of dawn, and I'm up with the birds!!  Leg started hurting; it's much better, but once in a while it acts up.  Today was one of those times.  Had to take a Tylenol to try to quiet the pain down.  Am waiting for it to take effect; until then:  OW! LOL

No longer have the walking cast on (thank GOD!), but leg still wrapped up in ace bandages, have to keep it elevated when I'm sitting down.  On crutches still, have at least another week or two on them, then I should be home free.  Can't wait; the darned crutches keep biting me!! I swear, those danged crutches have teeth!! LOLOL

At least I'm able to go places now, go to work a few days a week until my leg heals some more.  I'm not stuck at home.  Also have been able to go to my church and to Bible study; at least I'm trying to stay active!

Went to my friend's church, as I said in last entry; it was quite powerful.  Felt the presence of the Lord real strong, and when people went up for prayer and the pastor laid hands on people, he didn't slap 'em to death.  He was real gentle.  Some did fall out in the spirit, but I didn't.  (I went up for prayer for my leg; since then, it's been doing a lot better.  Maybe God healed me; I don't know, but I'm doing a lot better than I was! :) )

Other than paining me once in a while, my leg is good.  I'm glad for it; I hated wearing that stupid bulky cast, and the boot wasn't much better!! 

It's been hot here, and my leg would itch.  Terribly.  Especially in the middle of the night!  'Bout slap drove me crazy!!  ARGGGH!!!!  I'm soooo glad that's all behind me now!!

Today I am off from work; don't know what my agenda is today.  Tomorrow is church, also Bible study.  Maybe tonight I'll watch "America's Got Talent", now that the Olympics have ended.  Or I could do a little laundry before it decides to run away from me.  Or maybe I can go grocery shopping. 

Or go back to sleep.  I can do that, you know.  :)

Well, I am going to go now; am getting sleepy all of a sudden.  I will write in here another day; until then, this is Marlayne Goodwrench signing off!  Sorry if this isn't a very exciting entry; forgive me??

Take care and God bless!

~Marlayne. :)

Sounds like a good plan to me!

I have been fortunate in that in my whole life I have never had a broken bone, my three year old granddaughter broke her arm in three places though and I would feel so bad for her at times that it would bring tears to my eyes so I don't envy Marlayne a bit.
