Good News & Bad


This post is a huge 

Thank you card. 



I had my eye surgery yesterday 

and I woke up this morning 

with vision clearer than it's been 

since I was a young woman.


Thank you for your prayers. 

God is good, all the time.




I am asking for continued 
Prayers. 
Last Friday I took a fall 
I landed on my bottom 
on concrete 
and jarred my back really bad. 

Also, when falling, 
hit my shoulder and 
the back of my head 
on a cinder block wall.

I'm in a lot of pain with my back 
but nothing is broken.

I was blessed 
in the fact that I wasn't alone 
when it happened.
Two friends were here 
and one of them 
is a retired Navy nurse. 
I was in good hands.

Please keep me 
in your prayers. 

You're blogging sister. 
Connie :)

  3. Oh Connie, so sorry to hear about the fall. I had a similar one in the Summer, like you nothing broken but concussion and bruising. It is such a shock, and you must take care not to do too much for a while. Lovely to hear about the eye surgery.

  4. I'm so pleased that your eye surgery was sucessful. And pleased too that you had friends with you there at home when you had that nasty fall. Falls happen in an instant and certainly give us such a shock. With shoulder, head and back pain you really are "all shook up". Sending you loving thoughts and healing vibes across the sea from New Zealand. Take care and rest up, won't you.

    1. Thank you Lorrie, I truly appreciate prayer and I am amazed at how bright and clear my eyesight is now. It was blurry a little bit after the eye surgery but my eyes were dilated all day even when I went to bed my pupils were huge, but this morning everything looked beautifully crystal clear.

  6. I am glad your eye surgery was successful, but I am sorry about your fall. I can imagine you are very "stoved up" as they call it here in the south, and it will take some time to heal. However, if things don't get better soon enough, you should get checked out just to be sure nothing was broken even a sliver. Praise God you had people there to help you! That's a real blessing! Please take care and hopefully you will feel better soon.

  11. Along with all the others I hope and pray you'll soon be feeling in much less pain. As one who trips over her own feet I have great sympathy for your pain. (Not to hint that you tripped over your own feet.) This summer I will not be wearing flip flops. Twice I've fallen badly when wearing them.
    Good news that the eye surgery was successful💗💗💗💗💗💗

  13. So sorry about your fall. One of my biggest fears is something happening to me while I'm all alone and no one finding me. I'm glad that someone was there when you fell.
    Great news on your eye surgery.

  15. So glad your eye surgery went well and that you can now see so well! But oh my gosh...your fall sounds so awful. I winced when I read about it. I will pray that your back will heal and that your pain will lessen. Hugs from Illinois.
