I have to begin this blog by admitting my own failure. In beginning to send out a request for prayer, I realized that I have not been praying myself. So here I am, not asking simply for you to pray for me, but instead asking you to join me in praying...
This weekend has been extremely difficult physically. I rarely experience this much piercing pain, and the pain is nearly constant. Tingling is pretty normal and I am typically able to do self-therapy to improve that. However, this weekend the pain is everywhere from my neck down, on both sides, and the tingling is hard to relieve. On top of that, I have taken so much medicine that I am also struggling with feeling nauseous.
My appointment with the surgeon is on Tuesday. Pray that my pain does not hinder my ability to think clearly. And pray that the surgeon is given wisdom regarding my situation and we can determine if surgery is truly a good option.
I must admit, I hate asking for prayer for my pain. I look back on what I've just written and I feel as if I'm expressing a pity-party. Where is the hope? Where is the optimism? My hope is in God. He will be my strength.
