A New Milestone
Today I did some shopping. Since there was quite a crowd, I did lots of standing and walking, esp in Wal-Mart. Before my surgery, I would have been in terrible pain after a day like this. Yet now, I have only fatigue and soreness from all of the activity, since I am not used to it. But no terrible pain like before!! PTL!! I am believing in my healing, and it keeps being proven to me over and over, with each passing day! Bless You, L-rd, My Healer.

Pressing On!
As I am walking around, and going about my daily business, I have to remind myself that I can do things I didn't normally do! It's like a bird who's been in a cage for a long time, and then one day the door is left open. The bird is hesitant, but eventually makes it way to the door, and out into the world!! It is amazing to contemplate the transformation I have undergone - at the L-rd's hands!! This weekend I met a lady who has back trouble, and she was having trouble walking. I got to pray and lay hands on her, with another prayer partner. That was so gratifying, b/c I am a walking testimony of how the L-rd heals!!! Thank You, Abba!!

Clarity of Thought
It is refreshing how I can think clearly, now that I have the peace of mind that my back is ok. Today after I found out, things just started pouring into my mind, things I need to do, and my pen couldn't write fast enough! Before today, I had a mental fog, such that I forgot appointments, couldn't organize my thoughts easily. My energy and motivation seem increased now, even counter-acting my fatigue level! I didn't realize the problem until being on the other side! Incredible!
Amazing!
What an amazing God! He healed me, miraculously!! Just in case you don't believe it, let me tell you what happened. When I had surgery, the doctor was impressed that when she came to see me in the hospital the next day, that I was sitting up in a chair (apparently that was a milestone). She said herself, "Amazing!" Then, when I went home, the nurse said to gradually increase my walking a little at a time. Well, the first couple of weeks I was walking around the neighborhood with my friends, and my family. When I went for my 2 week follow-up, the nurse said, "Now I want you to try to walk even further than you have been since your surgery. Try to even go to your mailbox." I looked at her incredulously, like, Are you kidding? I didn't tell her I had been walking around the neighborhood, I didn't want to get in trouble!! LOL
Anyway, I was supposed to wear my brace for 12 weeks. At 8 weeks, I stopped wearing it b/c it didn't fit, and it hurt more to wear it than it did to not wear it. I still refrained from bending, lifting, and twisting. The last couple of weeks, I have done a few exercises that I learned in physical therapy, and have weaned off of pain pills. For my 12 week follow up, the MD said, "Ok, now it's time to stop wearing your brace. You need to start doing some simple exercises, and you may be a little sore for a few weeks. You'll have to gradually get used to not wearing the brace over the course of 2 weeks. Your X-Rays look wonderful, I couldn't be more pleased with the results! You even have some fuzzy-looking bone growth beginning, which usually doesn't show up until 6 months." Then I told her I had stopped wearing my brace, and had started some exercises already, and had felt some soreness. How amazing!! How did I know to do this? The L-rd knew, that's for sure, He is the Blessed Controller of All Things!!! I told you He is!!! It's a miracle!! And the great thing is, that now I can return to NORMAL ACTIVITY!!!! How awesome! That means dancing, working, cleaning, praying on my knees, wearing love glasses-LOL =) . Our God really is an awesome GOD!!
