GROWING OLD/ER UPDATE

Psalm 71:18 "Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come."
Proverbs 20:29 "The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head."

Do older people have more physical problems or do we just talk about them more than younger people do? Well, I think I know the answer to that but that allows me to bring up the subject of our present health.
1. I had to cancel the trip to the Royal Prince Alfred Hosptial in Sydney for neurological tests due to a pinched nerve in my back. O what a feeling! The chiroprator said it would be better to wait. I have a second chiropractor session Thursday. Hopefully after Thursday I will be able to get in and out of the car with a little more ease.

2. Now my teeth are giving some problems. Yesterday, Monday, I went and the dentist began a root canal which he will finish Wednesday. There is another tooth giving problems so that will be after this root canal.

3. As to the buzzing I had, it has departed and gone. Our Pastor has sent David a product called Clarity2. He is on the second bottle of 60 capsules and that may be the reason for the buzzing leaving. It is soooo nice that it is gone.

4. Pam has an appointment with the endriconologist October 9 in Orange. This is an hours drive east of where we live. That may be when it is decided whether to kill her thyroid or not.

Other than these few ailments we continue on. The Lord is good and these "ailments" are expected as we continue on our road to Heaven.

The Lord has brought several unsaved folk into our lives here. Our prayer is we may be that witness in life and lip that may be used of the Lord in bringing them to Himself.

August - September 2012 Update

The neurologist has referred David to undergo neurological tests at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney the 20th of August for the buzzing he has had in his left ear for several months now. However, our Pastor has sent him a product called Clairty 2. David is now on the second bottle and he hasn't had any buzzing since last Friday, 3rd of August. 

Nevertheless, we will go to the hospital for the tests to see if they reveal something that may have been the cause for the buzzing. He does have ringing and some deafness in his right ear which definitely is tinnitus (which the audiologist said is probably due to David's firing machine guns when he was in the Army Reserves) but the ringing in little bit of deafness isn't as disturbing as the buzzing was. We are so thankful the buzzing has ceased as it sometimes was so intense it caused dizziness.

We suppose some of this is due to growing old/er. We will keep you updated on what the results from the tests at Royal Prince Alfred reveal.
