NOTES:

Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 90 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office. I then went to Walmart for my weekly supplies of cat food, human food and other items. I took a nap this afternoon with Emmy. Smokey was with us part of the time. I put treats out for the cats around 6:30 p.m. Thanks for emails and thanks for reading the Good Things.

Tonight I would like to share an email with you from Michelle, who lives in California. She lives alone with her cat, Sasha, and needs our prayers. Her note will be at the end of the Good Things. Her age is in the sixties.

My cats are fine. Rascal and Smokey are both near me on a desk. I have seen all of the kitties this evening.

Have a nice Wednesday. Everett.

Here is Michelle's letter:

Aug 3 at 10:13 PM

Hi Everett. I'd love to be able to tell you I'm getting better, but I'm not. I have some very good days, but then I have days like today when I can't get out of bed the whole day. The vertigo today has been extremely bad - no matter what I do. At one point I bent down to do something and nearly fell. I pushed myself with my cane onto my bed. I don't need the cane to walk, just to help steady me so I don't fall.

Sasha has been with me part of the day. That helps. I'm just feeling lonely. I wish I could get out and go to church, but I can't even look down or up without getting extremely dizzy. Even if I turn my head a little too fast it happens.

I had the CT scan on my liver and abdomen, but don't know the results. I have one more thing to do before I go back to the doctor - a fasting blood test. Then maybe my doctor will have some news for me as to what's going on and will be able to prescribe a course of treatment. I only know that no matter what he tells me (except if everything is normal - how could it be with the way I feel?) I will take it calmly. God has me and won't let anything happen to me.

Please just keep me in your prayers. Can you add my name to a prayer list at your church? I'd appreciate it.

Blessings to you and your furkids. You are ever in my prayers. They are all my favorites. Honest. I wish I had better news for you. I know you have problems of your own.

Michelle
