Well, xH heard about arm, and CALLED ME!!!!!

His life is such crap, he's selling used cars (something he did 30+ yrs ago!), and has had to have both knees replaced. Hmmmm, sounds like things are just peachy!! He said the name of the dealership he works at..........GET THIS: He says a name of a place.......

**ummmmmmmmmm - FRUEDIAN SLIP - OR WHAT???? The name he says is NOT the name of the dealership, BUT THE NAME OF THE TOWN I LIVE IN!!!!! Example: "Yeah, I work at JACKSONVILLE CHEVY (Truth is - it would be JOHNSON Chevy, and where I live is Jacksonville) I thought that was most interesting!

Anyway, he wondered how I did it, etc, I told him. He sounded all concerned, blah, blah, blah. We talked a little, I told him I have appt. tomorrow w/Dr. to make sure other one isn't broken also, so he said he'd call back, blah, blah, blah. I wanted to ask, "WHY?? What difference will it make in my life? Or how will it impact what will happen from there?" <sigh>

Folks, it was great to talk to him, but...........this is sooooo hard, ya know? Can't do anything but wait.

Pray for his heart to be softened and his eyes to be opened...........

Hello Lupolady,
I pray that your other arm is not broken - gosh one is enough!
Your ExH is just showing you how much he thinks of you! This is great and a gift for you from God! I know it was very hard, but this is how things great from God work. Little by little he will soften his heart. Praise God for this!
It was funny he used your town instead of the car lot? Is he in your town? Maybe another small gift from God? We have to be grateful to God for every little sign he gives us! Walk with your eyes wide open for the smallest signs. They give me peace and hope. God Bless you.

PS will try to get the three way tomorrow night - cross your fingers and pray it works! Not sure about the access code once I get signed in? If you do not hear from me then use the 10-10-220, Get it from TTSMM note to you. I have in the past and it is great. You get a separate bill for this, not on your phone.

Hi Lupolady,

Just want to let you know that I will be praying for your H's heart to soften. I know how hard it is to just wait. It sure seems too long but I'm trusting and learning to accept God's perfect timing. Hope you're feeling better and that your other arm really isn't broken. Prayers for you as well.

Thanks for the prayers for H's heart! It's hard, isn't it? To just sit and WAIT. I'm the kind of person who likes to take charge - never been one to sit on the sidelines..........this is sooooo difficult for me (altho I know it's been "ordered" by the Lord).

Update on arm: Left arm is not broken PTL!! Right arm: dr said, "Does it hurt? Can you twist it?" I said no. He says, then don't do that.......

Then he says, "What do you do?" I say "teach school" - Well, then, says the doc, you don't want to go back just yet, but there's really nothing, except time that will help heal the arm.

He took the soft cast off, and now arm is basically "free" - but hurts to twist, or put pressure and cannot use it to lift or put load on. Doc said don't do any of those, as well don't fall again, so I still wear the sling, and bought a little elbow-type splint thingy to wear if I go out, so I don't overly use it. Beyond that, he said this was the "best" kind of break to have. Essentially the bone just "split" - didn't move or break apart, so healing is painless and simple. PTL (again)!!!
And as you can see, I can type again!!!!!! YIPPEE!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

God Bless all for your prayers and thoughts.
