Sorry to not have been that active in here so far this month. April has been a crazy busy month so far but things are going good. I ended up getting that wonderful cold, etc that is going around the end part of March so I was not online even up into the first part of April and usually would go to work, and then come home and crash and hope everyone would understand. Since getting over this, it has been trying to get everything else back in order, and catching up on things I fell behind on as well. Things are going a lot better now for me, and wanted to take time to personally thank everyone for their prayers with everything going on. Also as many of you are aware, I have been also dealing with a Chronic wound on my right leg due to being Diabetic. It is really starting to look a lot better thanks to the stuff I have been using recently on it. It is not completely healed yet, but I know God is in control. Well, I am going to try and post a little tonight before I head off to sleep, and wish everyone a wonderful week ahead. ~~TINA~~

Nice to hear you are doing better. Like you I have had to battle being sick! With me it is sinus problems! I'm not sure if the sinus's are causeing my bad sore throat but I will see my doctor about it later today! I'm had it almost a week! Take care and see you around!

I am glad that you are starting to feel better. I hope to hear more from you soon. Getting caught up can be so exhausting in itself.

I am so pleased that you are feeling better Tina. It is lovely that you have so many people praying for you and wishing you well. I can tell by the way you have typed up your discussion that you are feeling better within yourself too, am I right? Good for you...and do sleep well. Have a great week yourself my friend.

I'm glad to hear your wound is getting better. I've been fighting it out with my computer and finally turned off a firewall (there's still the one on the router) and have been able to stay online for more than 20 minutes without having to "repair" it. So I've finally had a good weekend to clear out a lot of my backlogged my lot stuff!

hi tina I am so glad that wound is now really beginning to heal.Usdiabetics are so slow in healing wounds., Now I ended up in the Er this past tuesday afternoon simply because my doctor had put me on steroids to get rid of the allergy rash on my leg, and had not gone to the trouble of upping my glyburide and metformin. so I went way too high both in blood sugar and my blood pressure,in the ambulance it was 210 over 69 so the first thing the nurses did was to give me an injection of something that got my blood pressure down then I had two different shots of insulin,and finally they got it down from 390 to 179 and it was safe for me to come back here.I feel fine now thanks to the nurses and the doctor in the ER. he said some people have even got diabetes after being on steroids for some medical problem. they gave me an Iv of normal saline to wash out the steroids from my system. so never again, its just too hard on diabetics to take steroids so if they are needed the doctor is going to have to go to a different medication without side effects. I have had it.

I am glad to hear that your health is looking up now. I'm also glad to hear that that wound is healing. I have a cousin who had a child via cesarean and her wound took forever to heal, I'm not actually sure that it is yet healed. Our household had a cold for awhile as well, and I know how horrible they are, I couldn't imagine working through one. I don't believe I've ever had a cold whilst working. Glad to see your back online! Good Luck To You!

It is good to you from you KrauseHome. Sorry about the cold! I got it too and I’m just getting over it now. I am pleased to hear that the wound on your leg is improving, whatever you are using must be doing its job and that’s great! Take care and stay well!

Hi Tina! It's good to hear from you again and I'm glad to know you are doing so much better! I've probably said this before but I was just thinking about you a few days ago. I knew it had been a while since you had been on here. I remember you said you had that wound on your right leg and I'm glad to know that all the stuff you've been using on it is helping it. I'm not diabetic, myself, but I'm sure it's rough when you have to deal with things like this. Kathy.

Good to hear you are getting better, as gradual as it may be. Don't overwork yourself, though.

Glad you're feeling better and thanks, I was wondering what happened to you. My friends had that awful illness, too. They're on their 3rd week and finally starting to feel better. They run a business and didn't need to both come down with it. Usually one and then the other gets it, but they went on a trip together and were in a car for days during the most contageous part of the illness when he had it in the beginning, so she got it in record time.
