Setback

I have suffered a set back from my wreck on Wednesday. The wreck made my body jerk forward/back; I was “ok” but my friend who met me at the accident site insisted to go to the ER. All test were negative at the time, but the doctor told me that it doesn’t mean something won’t show up later. Last night was rough find an comfy position for my head; I woke up this morning and decided to go to the doctor. Usually I go to the chiropractor, not for neck or back issues, but the use of alternative medication for my sinus. My neck was in A LOT OF PAIN and my chiropractor told me that he could tell my neck was bothering me because the way that my head was tilting. Even though my Xrays were normal, Dr. Robson said that the injuries were not bone/spine related but muscle related so he still thinks that I need to continue with treatment. This will be billed to the person who damaged my car and responsible for the wreck. I need neck therapy that he will perform and he can tell that I was in a lot of pain…he told me not to turn my head much but turn my body more if I need to see something.

I’ve been very discouraged with this slow surgery recovery and then this wreck and then this worsening of neck injury. It’s been rough and tough on me that I can find myself crying uncontrollable. I am trying to understand all of this and trusting God why all of these things were coming to me at once and it is setting back recovery; I’m struggling with understanding and believing God is in control. I feel the world is spinning and I am in the middle and can't get off. I am learning to take it easy and know that it is okay to have a "down day". I could use as much prayers as I can use, especially in trusting in God in his providence that things will work out at the end. I was able to talk things through with my Worship Director Pastor, Burress and was encouraged greatly. I plead for all of you to continue to pray for strength, encouragement, trusting God, loving him, and staying faithfully in His Word and continually singing/listening to music of encouragement!

Thank you all for your love and concern and continued prayers.

Decision, Goodbyes, True Healer

  EIGHT  MONTHS---REALLY? I n many ways, I can barely grasp that I have been on this chemo medication for 8 months already.   This means, I   had 9 visits with the oncologists, 9 blood draws,   4 ECHOs, 4 EKGS, 3 neuro-ophthalmology exams,   and 3 MRIs (related to my chemo drug—it includes initial baseline check, one in May, and one just recently on August 25 th which went much smoother).   I actually had a 4 th one but it’s unrelated to the chemo drug, but still related to my disorder).      If you remember from my previous posts, the chemo meds has been really hard on my body; there were so many times I really wondered how much longer I could endure the “fire” on my scalp, or the pain in my legs.    Back in July, the pain in my scalp, face started to get extremely bad.   After completing my 21 day cycle/28 day cycle, we noticed that even with my usual scheduled one-week break from the medication, my sores continued t...

Thankful for Pastors in our Midst----

It's past 2:45 AM and I'm still awake. I've been awake since 9a.m. without any naps which is unusual for me. I've been in my bed since 11pm and I can't seem to shut my mind off.  There's so much going on in my heart and my mind that I can't seem to just "turn off"  It has relatively little to do with the amount of physical pain I'm in tonight nor does it have little to do with upcoming medical procedures.  I just have a lot on my mind.  Some good things; some sad things; so praiseworthy things, some heart wrenching things, etc. Today for all you VA folks, know how blistering cold it was today; I have to be extra careful about not getting sick due to my low immunity; plus with my horrible pain scale today, I just couldn't make it to church.  I wanted to make it to either the early morning service or the Thanksgiving service my church had to night combined with the formal Installation Service of the official (should I say "dubbing??...

In My Need I Seek Your Help.......

There hasn’t been a huge change in things regarding my health since my last update/blog post.    My pain management doctor has tried a different form of non-steroid/non medication injection (for my abdominal pain) that seems to help some (to be explained later in the post).   It may need to take a few tries to see if this treatment works; that is, if I decide if I want to continue this kind of treatment.   As for my head pain and neck pain, my neurologist is doing all he can for now with medication therapy; and working along with my pain management doctor who is holding off other forms of treatment until he can slow down things with my abdominal pain.   In the meantime, I get some relief by going to my chiropractor/kinetic energy doctor in town.   I continue to be grateful for the doctors I have –those who are not giving up on me and trying very hard to try to find a solution to the cause of all this pain.   So far, my pain man...
