Well, we are home again today. My psoriasis is so bad that I don’t want to go to church. I know – it sounds lame – but it is so painful and looks so bad. And, guess what? Though it’s a chronic problem – it turns out stress can cause a flareup – oh joy!! So today and following days I’m going to concentrate on having a more peaceful home.
I know I’ve been quiet online…but I’ve been keeping busy. Lots of work….LOST is back…knitting, of course (more on that next) and I even started a webpage for our Cub Scout Pack. J1 enrolled in Boy Scouts too – so we are getting more involved. DH took on the Asst Cubmaster position for J2’s pack — next year, Lord willing, we’ll have two boys in that pack. And, we found out yesterday that a good friend of J1’s might transfer to his Troop – we hope so!
ON THE NEEDLES:
- Mom’s Sweater – Still need to block it. Problem is room! But I think I’ll ask her if I can use some space at her house. She’s anxious to have it so it might work out.
- Socks – I’m knitting some socks for my niece, Annika. They are some funky greens that she liks. Toe-up, magic loop – just need to finish the legs.
- 5 Hour Baby Sweater – started my third. First two were as in the pattern..for a newborn (8-10 pounds). But I wanted to try bigger. So, talked to my friend Ruth and we figured well, just double it but it seems HUGE! I’ll keep you updated!
- Lace – Tried to start a shawl, but kept messing up – guess I need a quieter environment – maybe later.
Today, Lets Knit2gether put out a new video podcast. This time on beaded knitting – I see great gift potential here! Check it out!
Praying even harder as “the” day approaches….
This psalm has so much in it, but an concentrating on the last verse. Am still here praying as always!
Ps 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Forgot to ask…there isn’t anything that can be done for the psoriasis? Seems like I’ve seen commercials for stuff………
Am hoping my computer’s fixed…dare I even write that? Whether or not it is, you know I’m praying for you and will continue to do all I can to get on here!!!!!!!!!!
Heb 13:20-21: Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Amy,
I bought Stanley a soap from Home Health. It is called Psoriasis Medicated Scalp & Body Wash. He uses it for his hair mostly but it seems to be working very well. His “bald spot” has not come back at all. I buy ours at Henry’s, which is like a Whole Foods. You can probably get it through a health food store if you don’t have those up there.
Aside from that, in case you can’t find it, you can use Cetaphil. I usually find it at Target. It really works great for his eczema so I can’t see why it wouldn’t work on psoriasis.
HTH

MAYBE my computer’s fixed…although I hate to even say the words. If it’s not I don’t know what Tim will do. Anyway, still trying to get to most of my sites…
Know that I’m still here praying!
Pr 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths
