I've been working on fund-raising for my favorite mission cause today. Met with old friends and mission supporters for lunch at our house. Only now got time for reflection at 3:09pm.
I have to teach at our conference center tomorrow and Sunday. All day. I cannot drive so my wife will have to go with me and stay with me. I ache so much with joint pain that sitting anywhere is getting to be tough. However, to sit in my electric scooter for 8 hours is no longer possible. My wheelchair is a little better. But that means my wife has to push me everywhere - no easy task. So I am filled with dread because of the pain I will be in on Sat and Sun, but also because of the pain my wife will experience because of me. So, I will just dread the days for me and her.
I am taking the Prevpac of antibiotics designed to kill the bacteria. Hope it works. It must for me to be able to have the surgery.
They took my hospital bed yesterday since I cannot lay down on it for more than an hour. My knees hurt so badly that sleeping in a bed is no longer possible. I sit in my chair most days, 24/7.
I really want to get this surgery done and move toward wellness and mobility. In the meantime, I just hurt.
Enough whining. But I still hurt...

Sounds like this has already been a LONG journey... but the really really hard part IS almost over. I know it still sEEms long - but surgery is really just around the corner! God is GOOD, and your faith is STRONG, and this thing WILL get done! A few months from now... well... let's say by Christmas... By Christmas you will be feeling like a different person! THAT is exciting!!!
