Request

 Treatment One complete. 

Some thoughts:

Please thank God for your health. Yesterday my body painfully received its Christmas gift. I say it every time. It’s amazing what you will be thankful for in times of pain. Now, I wait as liquid gold works its magic. I will feel like crap for hopefully just a few days. I’m not patient, but for it to work properly I must rest. If that means my activity is limited to going from the bed to the couch…you get it. 

It feels like a miracle that my bodily functions are returning to normal. If TMI…I’m sorry. This is the not so pretty reality of disability. A friend told me yesterday she was grateful I gave her a reality check as to what not to take for granted. 

I’m grateful. God is forcing me to rest. Not argue. Not explain. I’m being forced to tend to my own grass. I don’t have the energy to discuss anything at this point. 

Love your neighbor. Love yourself. Be decent.

  1. This is a powerful reminder to be grateful for our health, especially when we're feeling well. It's so true that pain has a way of putting everything into perspective and making us appreciate the simple things we often take for granted. I'm sending you positive thoughts and hope the "liquid gold" works its magic quickly so you can feel better soon.
