This has been another rough week for me health wise, but a
great week for my friendships and marriage. My migraine continues to pound so
much that I don’t like to take a shower or brush my hair. The mere touch is
horrid. (I am using deodorant, so there is no reason to cover your face.) This
of course sets off the vertigo. I have fallen so much in the kitchen that Bob
suggested that we just eat dinner on the floor. (I probably would if the floor
wasn’t so cold.) My hubby is always there for me. I am blessed. We have even
managed a technique to help each other stand. It’s called brute strength.
My daughter notices that as the pain increases, I decrease
my attendance at my yoga class. It’s a nasty spiral and requires me to make the
correction. She is my KIB (kick in butt person at my request.) I’m sure I will
get a phone call Monday about 1:00. So you can also start getting me going on
Monday. The class starts at 1:30. I have a family that deeply loves and cares for
me. I am blessed and life is good.
Another great friend called to see how she could help us.
This is not a new request. She has seen me at my best and right there at my
worst. She’s done about everything around here from making meals, washing
floors, changing bandages and doing laundry. She helped box up my kitchen and
is coming to help put away the Christmas decoration. I have people who care about
me. I am blessed and life is good.
I also got notice of my online Bible study beginning a week
from Monday. I have written various friends and am pleased to say that there
will be ten of us helping each other better understand the book of Ephesians. I
love that book. My blog on Wednesdays will then be devoted to this Bible study
and my Christian steps along the way. I have ways to keep my heart centered on
Christ. I am blessed and life is good.
The cleaning lady comes tomorrow and her day will be much
different. She is not going to clean, but instead help me put away the
Christmas decorations. I kind of like seeing them up. They bring along a sense
of serenity and peace. I am fortunate to have the resources to pay someone to
come over and help me and ever so blessed to have this many Christmas
items. I am blessed and life is
good.
It’s funny but I had a dear friend who truly knows all my
fears and delights. She helped me during a time that I was feeling my lowest.
She now is having some health concerns in her family. She asked how I managed
to cope so well when the world seems to be spinning out of control. First off,
I never realized that I cope so well. I do notice that most things don’t seem
to bother me too much anymore. It just isn’t worth it! Later as I truly thought
about her question, I found that I cope thanks to all these ways that were my
topics in today’s blog: my family, friends, spiritual life and many resources. I am blessed and life is good.
God Uses My Chronic Pain to Prove that Life is Good:
- I see my wonderful
support system each time I whirl around with my head spinning. I am blessed and
life is good.
