The NIGH****CHMAN - Monday 9/21
I have not even looked outside, so I have no idea about the weather. Just woke up. Gotta go shower and dress, be back later.
Just so you know folks, you need to TAKE YOUR VITAMINS.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

We Can Do Hard Things
George, glad I decided I needed a break from work, reading this and your note about taking those vitamins reminded me to take my iron, thanks.
Update on Renee......she is still struggling with her jaw surgery and the leg recovery also. The skin graft on her leg is healing slowly. They are now sending her to a pain management doctor on the jaw. It appears they messed up a nerve in her jaw and everytime she eats or drinks she has a severe pain in her jaw.....she said it reminds her of eating a lemon but it's 10xs worse. The Pain Management doc has prescribed her a med that they give people for seizures that is "suppose' to help with that weird pain.....he said he couldn't believe they let her go this long before sending her to him. Keep praying this is temporary and the nerve issue repairs itself, I'd hate to think she has to live like this forever. Her face (lip/jaw area) is also paralized from the nerve damage, she's pretty upset with all this and is second guessing herself it surgery was the right thing to do or to take her chances. I still think surgery was the right thing even now, the tumor would of probably continuing to grow and eat her facial bones.

I, of course, enjoyed giving him heck for their whoopin' they got from the ol' Saints this past weekend!
Checking in really quick now, but I'll be back later. I just got home from Dallas. I'm hoping the days of driving back and forth are coming to an end soon. My butt just can't take it.
The house has a showing at 6:30pm and I have a phone interview tomorrow morning. Those are my exciting tidbits of news for the afternoon.
Have a great afternoon and I'll check in with you tonight. Prayers for all who need them.
