He's Baaaack!

If you go to biblemike.blogspot.com, you will find the last posting I wrote as Bible Mike almost four years ago. A few months after that, I contracted fungal pneumonia. While in the hospital I also contracted MRSA, a staph infection that can be deadly much of the time. In someone like me it seemed a certainty. Two surgeries, ten units of blood and several weeks later, I returned home. Once again I was alive after facing another physical ailment that the doctors claimed would surely kill me. God can be funny that way.

A few months later I "fell asleep". There is no simple way to describe that event. My memory had been failing me for years at that point. Physical control of my body was failing as well. I could no longer understand written words. I couldn't remember from one day to the next what had happened previously. The pain raging throughout my body was greater than I thought i could bear any longer. Then I just "fell asleep."

They tell me I needed help with everything. I couldn't bathe or even feed myself. Most of the time I was completely unaware of my surroundings. any awareness I did have disappeared from my memory immediately. It was not until June of 2008 that I began to be aware again. I "woke up" a little at a time. I began walking about a year ago. I still need my power chair for any distance, but I exercise each day and can walk farther all the time. Obviously i have learned to read and write again as well. I can remember my past now, at least the last twelve months of it anyway. The stories of my end are a bit premature, again. God is so amazing!

I cannot access my old blog so I have begun this one as well as a facebook page and another life journal blog as well. God has His reasons for allowing these things to happen. I will be posting more about such things in the future. For now I can only say to those who used to read my blog, God be praised. I pray for you all still. All of you. I look forward to praising God here again.
