Pain !
By Norm Seeley | February 6, 2010
For the last two to three weeks, I have been in a lot of pain. It’s centered in my right shoulder and right arm, and it sometimes radiates from there into my neck and down my right side to my hip. Not fun.
It takes effort to move my right arm to do things that are part of everyday life. And there are of course things that I, as a caregiver need to perform with my right arm. I have to work at it even harder than normal.
I have never thought of myself as a hero because I am a caregiver. I don’t now because it’s taking more effort on my part.
Why do I mention this here on my blog?
Do I want you to feel sorry for me and make comments to cheer me on, or comments on how I can overcome the pain?
No, those of course would be appreciated, but I am writing this to get it off my mind. I don’t need to think about this pain, I need to get it out of my thoughts.
One other thing you should know. About three days ago, when my body was hurting all over, I stopped and sitting alone on the bed, filled my head with a thought about how I love the Lord, and how I love Karen….quietly I sat there and seconds later the pain that had started in my right shoulder and arm was gone. I sat there and felt no pain.
Now, I still have pain, but I can control it simply by thinking what I explained above.
It works every time.
I’m a very simple man, with a very simple brain, and it’s hard for me to have more than one thought up there all the time. So if I think about other things, one at a time, the pain returns. When I fill my mind with my Love of God and Karen, it ends and I feel good again.
My life has been full of blessings, and I am so thankful for who I have been, what I have done, and where I’m now, and I know the future will be filled with more blessings.

Local News

All most every day here in Phoenix, Arizona there is a story in the paper or on Television or even on the radio about foreclosures .
In our block, I have noticed that there are several houses up for sale, but I don’t think that they are being foreclosed on. To be honest, I don’t know. The houses that have “For Sale ” Signs on, are not that close. Seems like our neighbors plan to be here for awhile and are not having the financial problems that are happening to so many in our Country.

Go back with me.
By Norm Seeley | January 31, 2010
Had a bad night, so we didn’t go to Church. We slept in.
After all that sleep, finally I was feeling better so I looked through a box with old pictures. Only a few were dated, only a few said who was in the pictures, and not one said where it was. I could figure some of those questions out, but there were a lot of blanks in my mind.
Look below and see what I found.http://www.normradio.com/video/NormandFamily.flv

Egg On My Face !
By Norm Seeley | January 29, 2010
After my daily walk to the Stop Sign at the end of the block and back this morning, I was hungry so I brought out my Nordic Ware Egg Poacher and loaded it into the microwave with two eggs and punched up 1 minute, 20 seconds.
The Microwave beeped and the eggs were ready. Out they came. While they were cooking, I had prepared a bowl with jalapenos and Hot Sauce and I opened the Egg Poacher and there they were, two prefect poached eggs.
I took a spoon and took the first one out. I made a pop and I could see the insides as I put it in the bowl. Now my spoon hit the second poached egg, a large Pop, I let out a yell, which was part scream and part laugh. The egg had exploded and I was covered with the yoke. My Glasses got it. My jacket was covered. But luckily for me there was still enough of the poached egg to have for my late breakfast.
Karen was on the phone, and heard my scream and told the person she was talking to that I had just hurt myself. She thought that I had cut off one of my fingers. Nope. Didn’t happen. Just got covered with the yoke of an egg, face, and my upper body.
I really think my yell was more of surprise and a big chuckle as I thought how funny I must have looked.

Back Brace.
By Norm Seeley | January 29, 2010
If you read this blog every once in a while, you know that I have been having back problems…or to be more specific, pain in my back.
Today, our door-bell rang early in the morning. That is not normal around our house. It’s usually later in the day. I got to the front door from the back of the house just in time to see the UPS Man quickly walking back to his truck. He was in our car port, next to our van, and as I opened the door,he said ” I left a package behind the gate”. He kept walking and I said ” Is it Good?”. Turning his head slightly, but still walking at a brisk pace, responded “It’s always Good!”
I got the package, and opened it up to find a Back Brace. There were three items in the package. One look like a large belt and two other pieces that looked like black plastic piece that would fit around my back.
The Belt looking device had instructions, I unfolded them and look at the pictures first. No where in the pictures were the two black plastic pieces.
How do they work? What the H E C K, do I do with this thing?
Maybe the best place for it, is back in the box.
