Thank you all for the prayers

Yes, miracles are still with us. First of all I want to thank my Michelle for the last post and her plea for prayers on my behalf. The Lord has seen fit once again to bless us with help. I was hanging on by my finger nails and did not know what to do for the pain that was getting progressively worse each day. I knew something was wrong but did not know how to handle the situation. Pain meds can not be the answers to everything. Heavenly Father sent help in the form of my angel friend Connie. This great woman has been more than generous and kind to come in and help me with my wound dressing several times a week so we did not have to make the trip to the hospital as often. Connie was inspired to know what to do and which one of my three doctors to contact. The doctor was able to look at the last CAT scan and recognized right away that it was actually my "wound vac" that was creating the problem. After removing the vac I was able to walk across the room without help and without the unbearable pain. We will now tackle the wound care with a different approach. It may take longer to heal but I will be able to handle it in a much more do-able way. The Chemo pain as well as just the wound pain should be so much easier now to handle. Maybe I just needed to be reminded that it could be much worse.

I should remember by now that help does come. It may not be instant but it will come in the Lord's time. We have been able to see the tender mercies and are so grateful for them.

I was actually able to get out of my rut for an hour last night with the help of my "rock" Marian. We went to a neighborhood "tea party" and it was so great to see friends in a more normal setting. Life is good. Blessings keep coming and I still do not feel worthy of any of it. Hopefully I am learning the lessons I need to learn and maybe all this will make me a much stronger and caring person. Thank you all again for everything. I simply will never be able to repay you all for the love and support you have shown. I will have to make sure and pay it forward as soon as I can.
