What A Long Day

I’ve had to continue taking muscle relaxers every 8 hours. I just don’t have any choice right now. Getting up, sitting up, and even lying down is still very uncomfortable. The muscles in my lower back and shoulders are going off like fireworks. My body and mind are exhausted from a long day of battling this sporadic pain.

Mentally and emotionally I’m doing fine. My normal nerve pain or surgical spot is better than ever. I just have no idea why my lower back suddenly gave way. However, it has left me lying on my side and feeling very miserable.

I just took my nighttime meds so hopefully I can fall asleep soon. I do feel that I’ve improved just a little. I was able to sit a few hours as long as I was reclined in just the right position. Every move still takes my breath away. However, I’m trusting God that tomorrow will be much better. No matter what this couldn’t have come at a much worse time.

I thank God for a wife who is so patient and understanding. I thank God for my son Asher’s steady improvement as he keeps recovering. I thank God for past trials that have prepared me well for moments like these. I thank God that I’m lying in my bed and not a hospital bed. Things could definitely be much worse. I really appreciate your continued prayers and I’m confident God will answer those prayers in accordance with His will.

“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” James 5:16
