Man, I can't believe how much fun it is to drive a Hoverround scooter all over Costco! I had seen how much fun the folks were having in those commercials during my daily watching of "The Price is Right" but I never new it was true. The other thing that amazes me is that you can scoot around Costco in less than 20 minutes and still spend almost $500.
On a serious note; and in regards to my PLE (Protein Losing Enteropathy), I finally learned the importance of avoiding fat food. The more fat I eat the more protein I lose from my system. I am also losing a lot of blood in my intestinal tract too. This is also another contributor to my anemia. I am greatly motivated to eat less fat and continue eating a ton of protein.
At Costco I bought protein bars and shakes for my diet. I am also eating a lot of meat, eggs, and anything else with protein. Of course, it is still difficult to avoid some fat.
Overall, it's been a good week. I'm stable and have been fortunate to ride a scooter in Costco for a few hours and go to Church for an hour. Life is good!!
Awesome...wish we had an excuse to use the cool scooter at Costco!
ReplyDeleteLisa and I laughed so hard at your graphic! How funny! We thought of George Costanza and him getting chased by a scooter gang of senior citizens! Take care Paul and have a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMy little baby girl recieved her heart transplant last December two days before Christmas. What a miracle. She became sick when she was 5 moths old after our family became sick with a stomach bug. WE listed her for a heart, but she was getting sicker and could not wait any longer. At 7 months she received the experimental heart pump the "Berlin Heart." And at 10 months old recieved her "Angel Heart." What an amazing journey of faith it has been and how blessed we have felt as we have seen the Lord guide our every decision for little Kaidence. We will pray for your family that they may be sustained and feel the love of our Heavenly Father. Merry Christmas to your family and remeber "Faith makes things possible....not easy."

Your good humor, abiding faith, and continued gratitude are inspiring. And you do have an awesome wife. I'd write more, but I have to take Larry to Costco now so he can have the scooter experience, too. . . We love you!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to be at Costco with you driving that around..that is too funny!
ReplyDeleteHi Paul! The scooter graphic was hysterical! We'll have to call it the Paulmobile. Recently, I have been experiencing back problems and often it hurts to walk for extended periods of time. The last few times I was at Fred Meyer, I eyed up those scooters but chose to bear the pain rather than shop in comfort. Thanks for encouraging me, though, to bite the bullet and just ride the scooter, no matter how "uncool" it may seem to others. I am learning to pay more attention to the needs of my own body than what others might think of me. Thank you for your example! By the way, we decorated our Christmas tree today while listening to The Christmas Box. Widow's Mansion is one of my alltime favorites. Your music continues to bless our lives!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Paul. Keep up the positive attitude. You helped me during a challenging time in my life. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

I only recently discovered your music on Pandora.com. Your story has really touched my heart. Your talent is truly a gift from God. I pray for your body to be healed and for your faith not to waiver. To quote the words of a song that I sang as a child, "He makes all things beautiful in His time." May God bless your family during this holiday season and always.

Thank you for your great music. "Eden" and "Redeemer" are one of the gifts for one of my sisters...I played them last night (I was really upset about something) and it helped me feel the spirit. Thank you...I pray that you will find a heart pretty soon...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
I hope you ran over people's toes. Thay's what the people who drive those do, they practice for hours so they can run over your toes just so.
ReplyDeleteWe are home from our Mission and hope to see you soon. SO glad that you feel better and that you are able to enjoy this Christmas. Our prayers and thoughts are with you continuously.
ReplyDeleteLove to you and the family
Scott and Bobbi Waldron
