| Screen shot of the live stream of my brother's services last night at his church |
Last night I watch the live stream of the church service for my late brother John Lee Tipton.
I am so thankful I could watch it live stream. I almost missed it because I didn't activate the stream when I signed on to the church website fifteen minutes before the service started. I missed the photo collage my sister-in-law had established by Power Point. However, after the service started and I had no video I knew I was doing something wrong so I signed in again and viola! I got the live stream.
I also recorded the service which was long (one hour and forty-six minutes).
I watched it along with Pat.
I have to say the pastor who gave the John's memorial "got" John. He knew my brother and what he was like. I appreciated that.
I got a chance to see my other brother who was there with his son and his daughter-in-law. His name is Isaac. Later he texted me that he was the only one there without a white shirt. Nor a tie I might mention. His son, Isaac III didn't have a tie either. Oh well, the very conservative Christian Southern Baptist Evangelicals have probably seen worse. They'll get over it.
I'm still disappointed that I wasn't able to attend. And here I even had my dark blue pants let out. Oh, and I would have worn a white shirt and tie. Probably best I didn't attend. I wouldn't want to show up my brother and nephew. Once a hillbilly, always a hillbilly. Hey bro, don't worry about wearing a suit at my service, if I have one.
This morning I had my bone marrow biopsy. Don't let anyone tell you it doesn't hurt. It does. Not a "passing a kidney stone" hurt but not comfortable either. Although the nurse did everything possible to make me comfortable prior to the procedure when the instrument was stuck in my back hip bone and bone marrow extracted with took about five minutes. Seemed more like fifteen minutes but probably only about five minutes.

| Pitiful me this morning just prior to my bone marrow biopsy procedure. You can't tell but I'm trying to smile behind that mask. I should have taken the mast off. |
Followup with my doctor in two weeks.

What is the reason for a 'bone marrow biopsy'? I've never had one of those, hope I don't have to have one.

I'm so glad that you got to see your brother's service live stream, Ron. It's really a miracle and a blessing that such technology exists today.
Jim,
I have low blood oxygen levels. My doctor wants to check my bone marrow to make sure there isn't something more serious (cancer) going on.

Jon,
This is the second streaming service I've seen. Both I am so grateful to have seen live. My other was for my first cousin "Sis" Joan Tipton (same age) to whom I was always very close just like you are with your first cousin and neighbor at your home in Tennessee.

I've had a bone marrow biopsy...not fun.

So sorry to hear of your brother passing. Glad you got to watch the service. You are a wonderful person to take good care of your parnter.
The white shirt and tie stayed at home , but the hillbilly attended ? Small mind ...
Anonymous,
Oh for chrissakes lighten up! Me and my brother are "half-hillbillies" (as our father often called us). We joke about the hillbilly thing all the time. Besides, jokes about hillbillies are the only allowed group in our political correct environment today we're allowed to make fun of. And that was not a joke.
Man, lighten up. You're much TOO SERIOUS!
Ron
