Prayers needed for Matt 🙏🙏🙏
His shoulder is doing better since his cortisone shot, but the PTSD has gotten the better of him causing him to throw up and lose time out of work.
What his regular doctor has prescribed isn't working.
He called the psychiatrist he had seen and there's a two month waiting list.
They gave him a list of potential other doctors to call to check if they can see him.
I can count on one hand the days he has worked in the past 3 weeks on one hand.
Between losing time out when he's doing repetitive duties or throwing up.
We are so, so very close to a resolution of his case and I pray he can receive treatment and relief soon.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

😋 yummy
Just for fun I bought Fortnum & Mason’s Strawberry & Champagne jam at my local Williams Sonoma today and made some scones for a treat. The jam looks and tastes delicious, absolutely nothing like the sludge M is promoting. I may order a jar of the BP or Highgrove jam just for fun. The price isn’t bad but the delivery charge to the U.S. is at least £20, so I’ll have to think hard about whether it’s worth it.

This Day In History April 25 1928 Buddy, a German Shepherd, becomes 1st guide dog for a US citizen Morris Frank
Morris Frank became the first American to benefit from the help of a Seeing Eye dog. Frank lost the use of one eye in a childhood accident and the other in a boxing match as a teen and before his soon to be companion Buddy came into his life, Frank received assistance from a human guide.
Morris Frank was a blind man from Nashville. His father read him an article by Dorothy Eustis, a woman living in Switzerland who had seen shepherds training dogs to lead blind people get around. Excited by the idea, Frank wrote a letter to Eustis and received a response letter 30 days later inviting him to come see for himself. Frank then took a ship to Europe and trained extensively with a dog that had been bred specifically to lead a blind person. The training was hard, but after weeks with the dog, Frank could get around the nearby Swiss village holding tightly to a harness to which Buddy was strapped.
Morris Frank returned to America. From the day he got off the ship, he was successful. At one point, in front of a group of dumbfounded reporters, Buddy led Frank safely across a busy New York street. “I shall never forget the next three minutes, Ten-ton trucks rocketing past, cabs blowing their horns in our ears, drivers shouting at us . . . When we finally got to the other side and I realized what a really magnificent job she had done” Frank later wrote.
When Frank returned to Nashville, people were amazed at the sight of the blind man and his dog successfully navigating busy sidewalks and couldn’t believe that it was the same blind boy they had so recently taken pity on. What amazed people the most was that Buddy had an ability best known as “intelligent disobedience,” which meant that he would obey Morris except when executing that command would result in harm to his master. If there was a low hanging branch ahead on the sidewalk, for instance, Buddy knew how to navigate around it to the point where Morris wouldn’t hurt his head on it.
About this time, Frank, Eustis and several others cofounded The Seeing Eye, an institution set up to train guide dogs and their blind masters. Today, the organization reports that it has, in its 80 year history, trained 14,000 dogs. Buddy is considered the first. In 1978, on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the school, the U.S. issued a commemorative stamp in honor of The Seeing Eye.
Frank worked with Buddy until her death on May 23, 1938; he named her replacement Buddy, as he would all his subsequent guide dogs.

Isaiah 43:2 NKJV
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
