Update

Well, the pain is still here and quite real. Once I have more information from my doctor I will post the details. There will be a surgery soon though. I am just continuing to truck along and counting my blessings. At this point I have to be on some pretty strong pain meds basically all the time in order to have the pain at a level I can tolerate. That is a bummer and so is laying in bed most of the time. However, I have so many wonderful people in my life whom I can depend on. Last week my parents were out of town and so was Gary. The fam got home yesterday and Gary gets home tonight, but I had friends stopping by last week and my Auntie Linda took me to appointments and brought me food. It was so sweet. I am also SO GRATEFUL for how gracious my employers have been. It really shows me how much God loves me and is finding favor in me throughout this season of time. Work has allowed me to login remotely and get paid for whatever hours I am able to work from home. I am stopping into the office when possible to do work that can only be completed in my office. Also, on Tuesday my supervisor and I will be meeting with a new woman who will take on some of my duties while I am recovering from surgery. I continue to think about how blessed I am to be able to do this and save my job. I could have easily lost my job two months ago when I was constantly leaving early and calling in sick when this pain was not quite as bad as it is now and we had no idea where it was coming from. Then I would be in a situation with no medical insurance! Yikes!! Oh, God love me. I don't deserve it but that's the beauty of grace.

That's pretty much all I've got for now!

Much love.
