Late yesterday afternoon, Harv began to feel a sharp pain in his shoulder. It was a knot, he said. He thought it felt more muscular than anything else. He's been sleeping with an extra pillow 'cause of some earlier issue at night so we thought maybe that was it. We called the nurse in Seattle and she thought it sounded more musculoskeletal and suggested that we try a few things --  which we have. Last night, the ibuprofen and heat felt good. This morning, though, he woke up with that same severe pain.  He took some ibuprofen and went back to bed.

I pray that the ibuprofen and some more sleep will make that annoying pain go away.

(Excuse me while I whine...) I don't waaaaaaaaaaaant to go down this road.

(Okay, I'm done. I know that I get to go down it anyway. Hope I can be what everybody needs (including me) during this time.)

Continuing to pray for healing. Total and complete healing.

And, continuing to be thankful for the many blessings that are all over the place --- in spite of this #@$%&?/ disease.

I'm sending my prayers for healing as well. I know Harvey from his 'board'. My dear hubby of 36 years started on this same road last May. I know the feeling of wanting to have one day where the thought never even enters your mind, wanting it to go away...

I hope it is comforting to know that many are praying for your sweet family.

I am reminded of the river rafting analogy. Hang on tight until there is calm. Sally
