I AM SO RELIEVED

I’m just getting home from seeing my pain specialist. They told me I would definitely be able to have another steroid injection asap. I was told this is not abnormal to get a second injection so soon. Due to such high level of inflammation the second injection will need to build on top of the first injection. Now, I’m just waiting on insurance to approve things and then it will be scheduled very soon.

My heart is so relieved to hear this news. I’ve had many injections over the years, but never had to request one less than two weeks later. I’m so glad I can get it. I’m so glad insurance will likely approve it. I’m so glad that greater relief is on the way.

Over the past 24 hours I’ve been doing everything I can to not escalate things. This literally requires that I continuously monitor how I sit, stand, lean, get up, get down, or pick up anything. I woke up this morning feeling at least 20% better than yesterday simply by making adjustments. However, this good news has helped improve me even more mentally, emotionally and physically.

I can sincerely say that this brought me to my knees. I just kept throwing up earnest prayers to God. I knew God just kept saying hold on my child. This is just another opportunity for God to demonstrate His faithfulness. Once again my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has given me continued hope.

“But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.” Psalm 18:6
