The Downs

Well, one is that we have had a fretful time with The Foot. There seems to be an infection which we were warned was a Very Bad Thing, but there seems no way to get any very sound advice on what to do. We've got the antibiotics, but should it still hurt this much, how do we know when it's quite cleared up, should the leg be up all the time, when should we make a fuss? The NHS was great for the in-hospital treatment, but after that, from the carer's perspective, it's like arriving home with a miserable new baby who is never comfortable for long. There were no instructions with the package.
Also of concern but not without hope, is that a dear friend here has been diagnosed with lymphoma and we feel, that like Dorcas, we need her with us. Folks have dropped in to pray with us twice a day during the week which has blessed us and we hope will bless her. As I've researched on the internet, it is rather scary to discover that we are all producing cancer cells all the time, and it is down to our immune systems how well we can fight back. I think I see a spiritual parallel here. Do you?
