Below you'll find a list of all posts from December, 2021
Dec 27th Its like Mark just knows when I’m about to update you all…he sent me over another “devotional” to share with you today. You can skip right to it if you want. Or you can get an update first. Christmas was good. Even though the kids are much older this was the first year they slept past 6:30am to …
First or Last Christmas It’s the eve of Christmas Eve and I cannot sleep again. However, its not from pain—I don’t know necessarily why, I just can’t sleep. My thoughts have been running around the last couple of weeks as Dusty and a team of volunteers have been working feverishly to get us moved to the new house, The final …
December 21. An unbelievable thing happened. Unbelievable. We were hoping to get the last of our belongings out of the KC house this weekend so as soon as Pastor Chris finished online, I grabbed my coat and headed out. Gas station first and then to the house. But when you get there….you realize you still have a TON of stuff …
December 17th (unedited version…running out the door!) Its quiet and dark and no one is up. I don’t often get time to just sit and type like Mark does. I’m often just coming in on 3 wheels (bald and low on air) to do a quick “report” to keep you guys updated and feel slightly out of my head. I …
Its late. I’m tired. But I did promise an update. Mark’s intense pain is gone but there is always pain. Now his back muscles just feel very sore and achey. Bending over is still super hard. He just feels…sick…all the time and maybe this is just what it will feel like to have an illness and be under treatment. I …
dec 9 Right after the surgery he no longer felt the tingly numbness feeling in his legs. They told him he would be in alot of pain for 2-3 days. One NP gave us a different impression but I think from the ablation…he will feel more pain. They literally burned the tumor out. They inserted a coil for height and …
December 6th It really is remarkable how much better Mark has felt (in his back) since last Monday. I could say it is because he is not wearing that brace or it could just be a bit miraculous! Tonight he lays on his back in our room with some really tight back muscles and a feeling of being “sore” but …
Dec 2 The day isn’t done but I barely remember waking up last night and we didn’t have to dialyze at the break of dawn. I made Hatcher breakfast and took him to school. A privilege we often take for granted. I’ve grumbled many times in the past about taking the kids in (especially in the winter) but it was …
(auther Mark Linsley) 11.29.21 Marriage—A Note to My Kids, Or Anyone Else Who Cares to Ponder Now that you know I’m a person who likes to give advice and has an opinion on everything… I’ve been thinking about another subject that every young person should listen to. Its only become more evident to me the last few months. So all …
November…nope December 1 Wow the time slides by now. Latest update on Mark’s physical health….Monday we went to a consultation for his back. I orginally thought this was a procedure because the last neurosurgeon made it sound pretty easy. An oupatient procedure…an injection really. We started talking Sunday night that this makes more sense to be an consult. The way …
