Woke up with a terrific back ache so everything I did seemed to be frustrating.  Thelma Pratt watched the kids while I went to the Dr.  I guess the bug is really bugging me--bought 3 kinds of medicine and am supposed to wear a corset and stay on a bland diet and continue with the after the meal medicine.  Lord--help me to be aware of the needs of people around me.  Help me to get involved in the things outside me and forget myself.  I want to feel well enough to do well in the things I am involved in.  Guide me, Lord, each step of the way.  Amen.
