Healing
Face to Face
My mom made it back to exercise class after 4 weeks recovering from painful sciatica and bursitis. When we arrived, there were some noticeable changes. One of the college students is pregnant and due to give birth in about 2 weeks. I think her baby doubled in size while we were away as her tiny […]
Miracle Hands
My mom has been to her physical therapist for a couple of weeks now. She has miracle hands. She can find the exact spot that is giving my mom problems and get it worked out. We were there again today and she worked on two specific places that are causing pain. While it is not […]
Mom’s Faith
My mom has been suffering with sciatica for 2 weeks now. She’s been taking pain medication and going to physical therapy. Tonight before she went to bed, she told me she had just felt the pulling of the pinched nerve going down her leg, but that was the first time today. She got teary eyed […]
Skilled Student
Today we made an unexpected trip to the hospital as my mom was having pains. They did the full work up and found nothing, which was good news. So, of course, I’m very grateful for that. We attributed it to the intense exercise class she had yesterday. In the hospital, they started a pic line […]
Switching Prayers
The other day I talked with a young woman I know who is expecting her first baby soon. She found a lump a few weeks ago and ended up having a tumor removed. Needless to say, she was pretty worried about it being cancerous and the doctors seemed to be taking a long time in […]
Over the Migraine
The other day, I felt a migraine coming on. I knew I had done it to myself by eating foods that I shouldn’t. I was very careful that day and treated it best I could, expecting to feel better yesterday. However, the headache was still there in the background. I had one more day of […]
Story of a Close Call
We enjoyed having one of our neighbors over this afternoon. Before they moved here last year, they went to their final doctors’ visits. The husband saw his cardiologist who found that his heart was basically in distress and he had emergency surgery. He and his wife talked about the surgery in detail. The doctors basically […]
Better Beater
Last month, my mom woke in the middle of the night with pains in her chest. We ended up spending a couple of hours in the emergency room, but they didn’t find any problems, so we went home. Luckily, the pains never returned. We have been following up with her doctors, including having an echo […]
Appendix Out
My son who lives out east called me early this morning, which is unusual – especially during the work week. He told me that he had been having severe pains in his abdomen. He said he was pretty sure it was appendicitis. He went to the local emergicare and had a catscan that confirmed his […]
Dance of Difficulties
I had dinner with some friends tonight. One woman told us about a dance recital that she attended that her granddaughter was in. There was a dance portraying the life (so far) of a young woman. He family faced many challenges during the past few years. One of the biggest was when she received the […]
