I also bought it and do use it for the Health bounce...I try to do it every day...Just a thought. And besides, it's really good for the kids to jump on it too. <br /><br />I also wonder if that UTI is a Kidney infection instead? <br />Gosh, I'll pray for you. <br /><br />Love the shawl...beautiful.<br />The rosary is beautiful!Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-38822348434864551292014-11-06T19:33:11.785-05:002014-11-06T19:33:11.785-05:00I have to tell you, my foster-second-graders are i...I have to tell you, my foster-second-graders are in awe of your knotted Rosary. Those would be great for students. They can't break. (I had a first-grader break a Rosary a few weeks ago. The crummy glow-in-the-dark plastic kind.)<br />Love the shawl, and I'm adding my prayers for better health (and a better endocrinologist) for you!Barb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-28861848229574986632014-11-02T13:28:57.046-05:002014-11-02T13:28:57.046-05:00I pray that you find a doctor with answers!

She is a chiropractor, but they can be MDs, too. I am positive she knows more about health and wellness than any doctor I have ever been to! She does more blood work and teaches me how EVERYTHING is intertwined and related. She goes to the root of the problem (no band aids) with supplemental nutrition. Here is a link, if you are interested: https://www.functionalmedicine.org<br /><br />Your gray shawl is gorgeous! I like the idea of neat rows, too! They aid in cultivating a spirit of stability, even when other life situations feel chaotic ...<br /><br />That Rosary is so lovely, as usual, Barbara! I like the idea of having one to sleep with!<br /><br />Hope you and your family have enjoyed these 3 beautiful feasts!

(and you are in my daily prayers) That chronic UTI sounds dreadful. But an endocrinologist who tells you a hormone doesn't do anything?! We have several vintage books with health information from a hundred years ago - we buy them and read them for entertainment. :-) I always keep that in mind when contemplating current medical care. Doctors do the best the are able to (and obviously help us a great deal!) but I believe much in the wonder of God's creation in the human body is not fully understood. Love that grey shawl!Kimberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980588863109281657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-54894519778060287822014-10-30T17:58:13.989-04:002014-10-30T17:58:13.989-04:00Antibiotics that long?? You poor thing! I agree ...Antibiotics that long?? You poor thing! I agree with you on the old doctor statement and the "practicing" medicine comment. Completely. My daughter who has scoliosis has a few other issues going on. We have been seeing specialist after specialist since last spring. No one told us it is in our head, thank goodness, but I think we have finally pinpointed it to a couple of autoimmune issues. Where we are not happy it is an autoimmune, we are very relieved to know we have finally found some answers. At any rate, I will be praying more fervently for you, Barbara.<br /><br />I think the shawl (and color) is gorgeous! I envy woman who can create such beauty with their fingers. <br /><br />Guess what? My husband signed up for a sewing class! He wants to sew his own tarps and hammocks for back packing. We have no sewing machine...another reason why I covet women who sew. At any rate, I came home from the grocery store today to see a brand new Singer sewing machine on our dining room table. He found it at a pawn shop of all places!! Unopened! $70. Eureka! I think I have some ideas forming in my head about what my long winter plans are going to be! (insert eyebrow wiggle!!)<br /><br />Have a great night with your trick or treaters!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651016998027244516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-47531567257424527212014-10-30T16:44:26.274-04:002014-10-30T16:44:26.274-04:00I agree with Emily.

Barbara, UTIs are nothing to fool around with and they can produce other symptoms that seem totally unrelated. Also, are you still weaning off the Neurontin? That can cause a lot of problems too, which hang around for awhile even after you're completely off. They eventually subside, but not always on the doctor's "schedule". <br /><br />I'm also a knitter and shawls are wonderful to wrap up in for warmth and comfort! With a nice hot cup of tea and a movie (and a rosary scrunched in your other hand), you're set. Sounds good to me anyway :)<br /><br />I'd love the knotted rosary. Was on the verge of ordering the blue one you had in your shop only to discover someone beat me to it! I'll email you my email address. Thanks so much for the giveaway! Please take care of yourself and you remain in my prayers.MarieRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137655769113255142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-72372533139534638362014-10-30T16:26:36.457-04:002014-10-30T16:26:36.457-04:00The weather guy on 10 TV says that it's going ...The weather guy on 10 TV says that it's going to be warm as we get into November---crazy weather!
