Update: I continue to get stronger. Thank you for praying. I have a loooooong way to go, however. So far, the staph hasnt returned...that is a praise! As the feeling is gradually returning to parts of my body (there is numbness or tingling at some level from my chest down to my toes), pain is also felt a bit more as well. Right now, my back isnt as numb as it was and I am also being much more active so the pain has intensified. My desire is to get *off* of pain meds, but that hasnt worked so well just yet. I am just over 2 months post surgery (the back surgery was 7-7-14) so I know I am being impatient. This is discouraging to me. (Poor baby!) I have been working on renewing my mind and refocusing my attention to gratitude and praise. That helps a lot, but I still have moments of landing in the pit. I dont go quite as deep (usually) and I dont stay quite as long (usually)...but it is a pit nevertheless. I am grateful that I am driving, visiting with friends, going for short walks along the river, attending church and leading bible study starting this Tuesday and other wonderful things. Hubby starts an intense traveling season tomorrow...and that will be the first time since Michaela left to go back to school that I will be on my own so much. Feeling a bit vulnerable. I have been enjoying Bobs company and encouragement so much so I am not excited about him being gone. Time for me to cowboy up I think... Thanks for all your prayers.
