So, catching up on several personal bits:
First, it looks like my daughter Audrey’s Crohn’s Disease may be stabilizing. She will have to live with it for all of her life. And she’s started some heavy-duty treatment (that could have serious side effects). But it’s not been 2 1/2 weeks since she’s had to go to the ER. And it seems like she’s starting to have a life again. I am very thankful.
Second, my recovery from gastric bypass surgery is proceeding. Now that my passage out of my new stomach has been enlarged by scoping, and I’m being treated for ulceration found during the scoping, I seem to have finally stopped with the random throwing up that was happening. I’m eating solid foods, including proteins. And I feel like I’m back on track.
Third, I’m progressing with my use of Matins and Vespers from the Order of St. Helena Breviary. It’s well on its way to developing as a routine. My main problem seems to be missing the first Vespers for first class feasts (I forget to check out upcoming feasts until the morning of the feast). I’m also waiting with anticipation for my copy of “Holy Men, Holy Women” (the new expansion of our calendar which replaces “Lesser Feasts and Fasts”) to arrive and find out who some of these new people are.
