Dec. 25, 2022

I am going crazy with this new windows 11. It has buggered up my whole system, addresses and all. And all the blog entries sins June 14. I had a blog for today and it just disappeared, along with lots of others. I hope my guru, Fr. Proud, an find them. They must be around somewhere. Have a blessed Christmas season and a hope-full 2023.

Dec,   16, 2022

I have had 3 sessions with the physiotherapist, KIARA, each time giving me another exercise to do twice a day, before she comes back next time,,,,,,//Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8qm to 9 . Wonder of wonders, the bowels have started to move again and some of the muscle in the left leg is coming back.

     I don’t know how many times I have started my Christmas letter and it just seems to disappear and  I can’t find it. So here we go again. Let me put this in the blog before it gets lost too. Blessings on you all for your love Nd support.

Good news.  The new diet is working. I have had 2 BMs in the last 2 weeks. Hooray. We are making progress. My niece also sent some money, so I made an appointment with a physiotherapist to make a home visit for a reasonable charge, It seems that the muscle in my left leg is disappearing because it gets no exercise. I have to find some exercises to get it back again. I hope it is possible. I also have to start my dear everyone Christmas letter, It all sounds so normal but I can hardly walk now and everything has to be carefully preplanned. Lots of love to you all and keep the prayers coming.     Cas

 DEC. 2, 2022

Dr. Govender, in my meeting with him on Tuesday the 29th, said I am malnourished and going down ….porridge in the morning and soup  afternoon and evening had me starving he said and the body was pulling energy to exist from the muscles. ( half the calf muscles are already gone, ) and he prescribed for me a whole new diet, something that is impossible at mariannhill     1. Muesli every day    2. 3 fruits every day.   3. Drink 3 raw eggs a day (full of the protein I need) 4. Lots of Greek salad    5. 2 litres of water every day,   that , hopefully will get me up and back to normal. He himself ordered some special protein drink cartons, and is trying to get me into a program where I CAN GET HOSPITAL ATTENTION OR A WEEK, WHERE THEY WILL GIVE ME   A DRIP WITH ALL THE NUTRIENTS NY BODY NEEDS, He strongly hinted that I was on the way out. Wow. He scared me, but also impressed me with his TLC, his PA, Melissa, is also, searching for ways to get free care. Lots of people are trying their best for me. I am really touched, moved, by their concern and real efforts to help somehow. 

    I want to apologize too for 2 things.   1. I stole, borrowed money for this new diet fom the fund for the poor, I hope that the donors will forgive me,   2. I received so many birthday wishes and blessings that I am unable to answer each and every one. I just say thank you to you all, and God bless you for you love and concern and friendship. I thanked God for my 87 full years of beautiful people (all of you), and look forward to more beautiful people in my 88th yr,

    Again, God bless you all and man many thanks for your love.     Cas
