NOTES,br /> Today has been cloudy with periods of light rain and then around 5:00 p.m. we had a heavy thunderstorm that lasted less than an hour. It appears the rain has moved on out for the night. High temperature today wass 65 degrees with a low of 56. This morning at 8:05 a.m., my brother, Charley, picked me up and took me to McAlester Regional Hospital, which is a little over a mile from my house. He left me there and came back later to pick me up. I had an injection in my back at about 9:30 a.m. It had been about 6 months since I had an injection. I always dread the injections because here in McAlester they don't give an anathesia, just pain reducers. It hurts pretty good when the needle goes in. I told the nurse today to give me a double relaxer and she did. She gave me two pills and I was a little woozy when it came time for the injection. It still hurt but not as much as last time. They called Charley to pick me up at 9:45 a.m. They say to not drive for 12 hours after the procedure. Charley brought me home and let me out. I immediately went to bed. Charley said he would come pick me up for lunch about 11:15 a.m. so I told him I would leave the door unlocked in case I was asleep. I soon went to sleep with Rascal snuggled close to me. Rascal must have sensed that I was hurting a little. The next thing I knew I heard the door bell ring and I awakened. Charley came on in and then we left for lunch. Bill was there to have lunch with us. We went by the post office to pick up my mail and I slept most of the afternoon (Rascal slept with me again). I am feeling pretty good tonight. Tomorrow I will return the favor for Charley. I will pick him up at 6:15 a.m. and take him to the hospital for removal of a small cancer from his bladder. I will stay at the hospital with him. It is supposed to be an outpatient procedure so maybe we will be able to go to lunch. Since last time I have had some nice e-mails from Debra, Michele, Alice, Claudia, June (my daughter) and Tom Gilham (my former pastor). I would like to share some of these letters but since it is late and I have to get up early I will hold off on the letters. Remember if you don't want your letter shared be sure to let me know. I get several comments from your letters.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is on the arm of the couch. Rascal was here a little while ago.
Have a nice Thursday, I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
