I was doing so good, that is until I went to sleep with my arm on the back of the couch and it fell dead weight on to my infection site. I started crying but didn't wake up Stan...even sick I still try to protect him. So I had several days of severe pain and at times couldn't even walk. I called the Dr. and was told that I just stirred up all the nerves and it wasn't serious but with ibuprofen and heat I would get over it in time. Sounds so easy...NOT! But finally my pain has gone from a 10 to a 1. And I'm so thankful. Lord, help me not to hurt the process of your healing.
Although I was in pain I was determined to go to church. My Sunday School Class had a praise luncheon. I said, "I'm going if I have to crawl there." It was just great. They prayed for me and loved on me. I just sat there, still as a mouse...praying the pain would not visit.
I had made plans to go to my cousin's cabin in the Smokies the next day. I was so excited..it felt like Christmas. After I got hurt I prayed that I could still go. I knew I could get better there and fought the idea of not going. Well, I made it...after a couple of hard days, I started getting relief.
Thank you Jesus! Now here I sit surrounded by God's beauty, peace, and cool, pure breezes....pain gone...and loving life. They are treating me like a princess...how am I going to go back to the life of a hard working girl? Alot of prayer.....
Everything, I mean EVERYTHING is so precious now. Thats what is so amazing... that sickness opens your eyes to see really for the 1st time. Thank you Lord for the second chance at life, thank you for opening my eyes to your beauty in everyone and everything.
