| Back at home after surgry. Very tired and sore. It will be a while before I know whether this surgery took care of the pain or not. Who knows? | | |
| BrickwallI have been battling against this brickwall of pain for what seems like forever. I grasp at so many things, hoping it will help the pain or take it away. No matter what I try, I cannot go around, under, over, or through this wall. It is impenetrable. It will not go away. Everything seems so hopeless and meaningless. Oh, Great God, to have enough wisdom and patience and endurance to continue to trust You, to believe in the truth of Your Word. Lift me up; carry me through. It is so dark here, and I am longing for Your light. The light of truth. | | |
| This is DumbFunny how just 3 months after my surgery to get rid of adhesions they came right back. I have no idea what to do now. NO IDEA. Another surgery might help for awhile, but then I'll end up back where I started. Is there no end to this? | | |
| The Sound of a SoulI think that the sound of a long, low note on a cello properly expresses the sound of my soul as it cries out for those I long for. | | |
| Official Health StatementI was too frightened to ruin things to announce this any sooner, but here it is: I feel better! I had my surgery three weeks ago on Monday. So far I have been able to drop my morphine to just once a day. I notice I take less and less pain meds. I feel happier, more energetic. I go tomorrow to a follow-up appointment with my surgeon, Dr. Moore. I feel like I should bring him ice cream or something. How can I thank this person who was willing to do what none of my other doctors were? This surgery is the first step in ending pain that began a year ago. A year of pain ended in a minimally invasive, out-patient surgery. Did I go back to the ER that night? Yeah, I did, but I would do it all again to feel the way I do now. Of course, now everyone is asking me when I will go back to school. I'M NOT READY YET. I still have to get off the morphine. I have to get my strength back. Student teaching will be a lot to handle, physically as well as mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. I would really like to try Kansas City Christian School because it is way more casual and it is a larger school, which is more comfortable for me since I come from a large public school background. Another thing that gets factored in is the DRIVE. I'm living north of the river with my parents, and most Christian schools are south of the river. These are all things I have to be ready to conquer. Right now I have to conquer Marty by keeping him off the counter! (It's also pretty sweet to have some concentration back, as I spelled all of the above words correctly, and these too!) | | |
