Pain pain go away.....

"Lord I promise to rely on you when I feel I can't go on and to have enough faith that the moment of darkness I may be feeling will pass." 

 Suicide is not an option

 

I often say "pain is a game changer", it is. I was going along engaging in activities, living my life, feeling good about things and the pain got bigger than me. It hit hard 2 weeks ago and has gotten worse every day. I am once again broken beyond possibility and am just trying to survive until Tuesday when I get another cortisone shot in my hip. Honestly child birth was nothing compared to this.

The enemy loves to attack in times of weakness and has been on full assault. I have doubts and am terrified my life will continue in pain. I had a handful of pills but remembered my promise not to ever play God and take my life. It will have all been for nothing if I do. I am being honest here it is too much for me.

Today i will takes as many meds as I think are safe and try to get through the day with the clock ticking and pain screaming inside my body. I do not pretend to understand this. I only know I have to survive it. I have been here before but it does not get any easier. Overwhelmed  is a post describing this.



I will surround myself in music today. I will hold on. I will pray for release from this suffering. I will be confident that heaven holds no pain for me and know that God is bigger than all of this. I will read scripture and believe. It is all I have.
                                                          

                                                     I need you now



Father I need you, I have so little left to give. The pain is too much for me. I desire to feel your spirit here with me in the midst of all of this pain. Please Father have the shot help me. I am fighting  the enemy and he is so strong. I believe in you Lord I do. Amen.

Update- I have been relieved of 90% of the 10+ pain since my cortisone shot on Tuesday. I am grateful but I am still struggling with why is the suffering necessary? I was hesitant to even write this post hoping my pain would go away but sometimes when I am in the deepest darkest places I know in my heart someone else is also. I want that person to know they are not alone. I want to spread hope. I want to find answers/ treatment/ideas of how to survive what ever illness people have. I would love to hear from you if you are out there. Please comment and subscribe to my page if it works for you.
Thanks.

Chronic Illness and faith

The precise meaning of chronic is "persisting for a long time", and it is used chiefly of illnesses or other problems. If you are chronically ill chances are you are operating at max capacity every day. I know I am and have been for the last 26 years. I feel like the child’s game where you try to fill the bucket with out it spilling over and when it does the game is done. I feel like if I get one more thing medically to deal with – game over. Today I had to yell at a nurse over the phone, to get the help I needed. This should never happen! One of the reasons I went in to nursing was to make a difference, to actually care about and help people. Patch Adams one of my all time favorite movies touches on this and is an example of what I am talking about. When I worked at a hospital a patient with nausea and vomiting requested lime Jell-O and his nurse did not order it so I asked why and she said he would just vomit it back up. Since there was no medical reason he coul

Done being strong

I have had too much going on physically. I am overwhelmed and I have been trying to be strong not just for me but for everyone else. Today during a therapy session I touched back to my childhood and revealed where it all started------- In a hospital getting poked and prodded. Having my privacy invaded and ignored. It started when I was being told " be a big girl, don't cry, be strong". It was my mothers voice.  My experience started in 1964 and that seems like a million years ago if you look at today's medical environments. There were visiting hours and lots of rules. There were wards rather than rooms and a very cold sterile environment. Procedures were not explained to me I was told what to do but not what to expect. When I was eight I had both an upper and lower GI. The x-ray attendant was unkind and impatient which resulted in quite a mess. It just gets worse but now the picture is painted. I think we all look for something we have control over in experiences

Handicapped

I am handicapped- there I said it! It is a reality I must come to terms with. I believe it will it make my life easier. I stopped hiding my CMT when I quit my last job and met Bernadette online and saw her videos. But not hiding it and identifying yourself as handicapped are two different things. I am scheduled for physical therapy next week and will get some advice of which device would help me to walk on sand and also identify me as handicapped. I am over fifty and it is much easier to address this issue now. I have lost most of my vanity and youthful exuberance and wearing AFO's for the last few years with shorts and skirts has also helped. The problem is with weak arms and injured right elbow and wrist I am not sure what suggestions they will have. I am open to whatever works at this point. Pick a new coping skill to work on! When you are chronically ill there are always obstacles to overcome and levels of physical challenges to deal with. For me the last several ye
