Hurt
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 […]
Support and Empathy
I went to an event this afternoon with kids who are in foster care. I met one girl for the first time and we enjoyed cutting up vegetables for the meal we were preparing. We sat down to eat at a table with a couple other kids and adults and started chatting. In a few […]
Forgiveness Wins
Today I read a beautiful story about a young man who wanted to start a singing career, so he moved to Tennessee. Right after that, he was hit by a car and left paralyzed. He thought his life was over along with the career he wanted so badly. However, he forgave the person who hit […]
Not Hurt Worse
My sister called today and sounded very weary. Come to find out, she fell down the stairs at her house a couple of days ago. She tripped on the second to the last step and landed flat out, skidding on the concrete floor. She did go to the doctor and get checked out and although […]
Alleviating Worry
While I was preparing dinner tonight, my son called saying that he may – or may not – have just cut himself pretty bad. He did cut himself as he was dicing peppers to put in his dinner, but wasn’t sure exactly how bad it was. He actually found the small piece of his finger […]
Unshaken Faith
A friend of mine has struggled with health issues and accidents for as long as I have known her. Yet, after every incident she gets things fixed, goes through rehab, and comes back as strong as possible. She has an amazing will, attitude, and faith. I found out the other day that she was back […]
No More Headache
After a few days of eating too much food I shouldn’t be eating – especially sugar – I found myself fighting off a migraine yesterday. I thought I was doing pretty good until I woke up about 3:30 this morning with a pounding head. I tried to re-position a couple of times to no avail. […]
Well Cared For
A few weeks back a friend of mine thought it would be fun to participate in a “mud run”. Unfortunately, as she landed from one obstacle, she felt searing pain in both her legs. The doctor found that she had a torn quad tendon and did surgery on one leg. She still had a lot […]
Done With PT
Well, it has been 4 long months since I wrecked my hips trying to do Zumba. I knew it was a bad idea at the time, but did it anyways. Truth be told, I would have ended up in the same situation at some point along the way. When I started physical therapy, I couldn’t believe how […]
Scouting Lessons Learned
I heard a story on the news today of 3 boy scouts who were hiking in the woods with their leader and wanted to explore a cave. Unknown to them, there was a bear in the cave and when the leader went in, it attacked him. The 3 boy scouts called 911 to get help. […]
