Thank You Lord! Praise Your Holy Name! To God be the Glory, Great things He hath done!!! Hello to all my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. This is lol, the better half of "gratefulforgrace". She just showed me the prayer thread you all started for us and it reminded me of the walk to Emmaus that I attended in 2005. While on the "walk" we were told that we were each being prayed for individually and as a group. That was so humbling and literally brought me to out of control tears of joy. People, some who I knew and a whole lot more I didnt know were praying for me. For me! That is how I felt as I read the prayers and advice you all shared. Im thankful that my better half is part of this Godly community and for the encouragement she can both give and receive here. We truly thank each one of you and pray Gods blessings and protection in your lives. Welcome, better half! Do drop in from time to time and do get better, please. Thank you for sharing your heart with us, “better half”! It’s very encouraging to read. And I’m so glad to hear of your recovery. God is Good, better half and He has been so very good to you! Now that we know you, please stay, if you'd like and join in the fellowship! :yes: It's all about love, unity and faith! God is indeed more than good, but glorious in all His ways! TR ?????? y'all sure jumped on that "better half" title... 😉 with all the outpouring of Christ's love thru y'all i started wanting to share more and put our pictures or names or s'thing to feel closer to this Body of Believers...not sure how to do the pic or if have one that will work, but might...i'm kinda a private person and sharing all this medical info and all is a lot for me so i kinda don't like having my name out there since this can all be publicly seen online.... anyway... Thank you all so very much for prayers!!! It has been a roller coaster, but thank the Lord, I think we are parked at the end of this lovely ride and about to exit! I feel like me again ever since last night...and hubby aka better half has felt pretty well even though sometimes doesn't sound like it and he's planning to go back to work tomorrow (drives truck in isolation) I ended up feeling horrible i think it was Tues. nite and Wed. AM w/ extreme coughing (dry) fits that made my head feel like it might explode and when not coughing, had major pressure in head and face- way worse than "normal" sinus pain i've had lots of in the past years...went to the doctor Thurs. and got prescription for z-pack and cough meds (gel pills with numbing stuff- seems a little scary but helped especially with sleep- can't take codeine or that dextrom stuff in most syrups).... appt. was interesting...they knew i prob had covid and still shut themselves in rooms with me w/o seeming to be in any hurry for less exposure- also only wore regular blue med mask except dr. wore n95...i didn't feel terribly nervous and i'd finally taken tylenol and it took the edge off the pain, but i think the cloth mask i wore contributed to feeling so tired and pretty out of it, so when my doctor spent a long time talking about the vaccine, i wasn't clear headed enough to say any of the good things i wished i had...when the shock and the feeling bad wore off some later, i couldn't believe what i had experienced...i will say, though, to preface this- he seems to be a very kind, caring person- he's like 80 and has listened to my health concerns patiently in the past year and a half i guess and he will order tests i ask him to and makes referrals etc....but this kind, older man literally laughed at me and said i told you so! it was a gentle like grandpa scolding or something?? but i can't believe really...it's sad...it was a -i told you to take the vaccine lecture- and basically a because you didn't, now you are sick and i'm actually slightly amused by your stubbornness to not do what i said to and now you are having to pay for it... anyway, thank the Lord, the Walmart in that town was out of the pills he wanted to prescribe me, cuz i looked i up later and it's those ones i didn't want to have any part of i'd heard of before- where they are concerned they might change the host/patient's dna for real (i think they may have done that to animals, idk...)...if you get scared of possible awful outcomes of this illness and you feel rotten enough you might just take anything they offer you- thank the Lord, i didn't even have to make that choice cuz it wasn't available...he said i could go get it at a different town but riding in the car (i'd also been nauseated off and on for most of this junk) and all the logistics of getting it did not seem worth it no matter that he was "selling it" like a miracle drug- i didn't feel that horrible at that time... well, just a little taste of what you might encounter if you go to doc for this stuff and are not vaxd...i asked why the azithromycin and he said it's common to get bacterial infection after virus...i don't like taking unnecessary antibiotics, but this covid stuff does scare me some so we both did...we are taking/took probiotics 2 hrs after them...he was ok w/ me adding aspirin too - i have genetic predisposition to blood clotting...he literally made a stupid joke when i voluntarily told him i'd taken 5 days of ivermectin even though i repeated that it was the "people kind"... i was encouraged to see ppl in d.c. protesting vaccine mandates...you can start doubting your convictions when you get laughed at by "professionals"... we all gotta remember in all things- especially spiritual- don't try to please man or need his acceptance...don't conform to this world...please God (by faith and trust in Him and submitting to His ways) and allow His acceptance to bless you with His peace...let Him transform you into the likeness of His Son through scripture and the work of the Holy Spirit...and keep talking to fellow Believers so you know you aren't alone... p.s. mostly we kept taking zinc and quercitin, vit d and c when remembered, and we added NAC and occassional Glutathione...doctor did reccommend ginger "tea" w/ raw ginger boiling water and honey, but we were already doing stuff like that but with powdered ginger (haven't been to grocery store in almost 2 wks- thank the Lord for helping us stock up ahead of time- have plenty food etc.)...that and sometimes lemon or ACV & honey and cinammon were helpful drinks for all of us regularly throughout this...the scariest thing was the unknown- the you feel better and do stuff then feel really weird bad and oxygen is lower then relax and better again...the i'm fine now and then oh, nope, not really kind of stuff...still i wonder cuz of strange long term effects of damage that could have been done...i pray not- i pray we are truly healing fully...i still believe there is less chance of horrible consequences from this awful genetically screwed with virus than from the genetic shots and pills. ok, i'm finished rambling to catch y'all up on our covid saga (yes, hubby's pcr test was positive and dr. thought mine would be too even though it had been over a week since i'd first knew i was sick w/ fever)....may God bless y'all and give you health and His wisdom and guidance in all things...He is so good and loving and once you belong to Him, He will never leave you!!!! See y'all on the other threads (every once in a while...i kinda go in spurts as you can tell...) Love & hugs in Christ Jesus our Lord!!! I'm glad to hear you and your better half have rounded the corner! Its horrible - having just had it in November - I can attest to all that you talked about. RE: PCR test - when my work required a negative PCR test to return to work (which is crazy because I am 100% remote and have been for 14 years) the place I went to get tested wouldn't test me again because they said you can test positive for months. The wrote me a letter and I gave that to my work and they cleared me to return.... a Fluke? But continuing to pray for 100% recovery for all of you! Thanks for the update. Glad you three are getting better. Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace towards us. :yahoo:
Encouraged with your progress. The Lord is Good. ^^
There's no problem remaining private about some things. Perfectly understandable. We'll see you two in person soon enough, anyway. 😉
