It is such a thrill to see you here after we spoke this evening. God does fill our cups overfull..... thus, the reason my reply to folks who inquire as to my welfare "why, I am Blessed! How are you?"

Agape dear friend,
Mark56zz

Have been busy with other things to take care of (relative came to visit, death in the family, b'day party for hubby), but always know I think of you all daily.

Mark: I'm so glad they found the cause of arm pain was pinched neck nerve. What do they plan to do for it?

Ginnie: So, so sorry you're losing your home. I will be praying that the Lord will go before you and set up your next home and that it will be a place where you will feel it is home as soon as you walk in the door. Pray that you find friendships there that will be encouraging and possibly a door for you to share your own experiences and God's grace that has helped you through so many difficulties.

Everyone else...you, too, are in my thoughts. Feel like I've been in a whirlwind lately with all these family things going on. Have been spending the last few days living in the laundry room, washing, washing, washing...ugh!!

Trying to keep up on my blog but beginning to wonder if worth it as doesn't seem to be many folks following it. I enjoy doing it and it's a good emotional outlet for me to share what I can no longer do as one of the employed, but if I spend time posting and no readers, wondering what's the point

Still trying to figure out cause of increased intracranial pressure but my doctors seem to have become overwhelmed with paperwork so referrals becoming longer to get. Still thank the Lord for my two SCS's. In August will have had them in for 2 years...hard to believe it's been that long that I've had pain reduction.

God bless you all

I listed my home today. I am going to try to think of this as a new adventure. Nobody knows what is on the other side of a door, until we walk through it. I put this in Gods hands now fully. I asked for direction, and I have prayers and compassion from you and NT. I am grateful for all the support as I go through a new experience. I don't know what God plans, but I am going to leave here with a good attitude. thank you for caring. ginnie

New beginnings....pray all will go well and the challenge "all inspiring".

Gerry

Eva.....as long as there is life; you will never be pushed beyond "return". Can't happen...won't happen.

What you call negative feelings, to us here on NT, you are venting. Venting you must do.

God understands all....He knows your pain and holds you close. The "deceiver" will not have you.

We are on this "journey" together. Eye to eye..hand in hand, we travel together. We are bound together with "pain" as our banner. Hold our head high....look to the heaven above. We are all in this together.

We give all to God. Good feelings and the not so good feelings. He knows our pain like no other. We are all "one" in His eyes. We are on this journey; indeed together, yet "one" in His eyes.

We pray together,

Thank you Father,
Thank you Son,
Thank you Holy Spirit,
All are one....Oh Blessed Trinity

Together, we Pray.

dear God

thank you for another day

only this day was a glorious day

and if you want to see the eyes of

the almighty God himself just look

into the eyes of a child

God is ever so near

my grandchild and my loving daughter

surprised me i had 5 hours one on one

eye to eye

she loves me

i soooo over did it

everything hurts took

going to go and hope

for sweet dreams

her face an Angel

the most beautiful moment

is when she would bury her head

in my body with such a glorious

touch of Love

GOD you know my pain
getting everything ready
thank you

thank you Jesus

So glad you had such good one to one time with your daughter and grandchild. It's a lovely feeling.

I too know the feeling of overdoing it. I too did way too much yesterday and paid for it last night. As the night went on i was soooo sore even my SCS was making it worse. I turned it on then off then on. Only nothing was working.

By this morning i couldn't get out of the bed I was so sore. When i went to get my medication I realised IHADNT TAKEN IT LAST NIGHT so no wonder I was in agony. After taking it this morning and switching my stim to high I started to feel better again.

I hope Eva you will feel relief very soon

Jackie

Lord my God my Savior

thank you for another day

surprised i was
getting all ready
to think the life ahead
of her in today's world
i know my anger lingers
always making whatever
at hand already with that
existing powerful emotions
make anything feel like
****
coming here is a place i
have found to be freeing
and with a group of people
who keep HOPE alive
for that i thank you all
when i get someone to
chime in feel what i feel
seek what i seek and most
importantly BELIEVE
as crappy as i may feel i
can tap in and read
bring me home
i choose to remain
on this thread
not only because
of the welcoming
introduction
it is that i believe
in community
a community of
a common denominator
a spirit filled world of
responses my experience
thus far has been a blessing
in itself
and when i first accidentally
found this site i originally
and mostly maintained going
on spinal disorders and
a array of topics that
do apply to me
yet it is on this
thread i decided to
maintain daily a promise
to myself
it all boils down to
humbling accepting
truthful painful interaction
with others who relate
no one is exempt from
pain it comes in all
forms
this thread
one can tap into their
belief system make a
connection with others
who uplift and beautifully
help me and others
my journey to some form
of stability to pull myself out
of this horrible place
it is because of my cancer
two surgeries acdf/pcdf
plates screws cage cadaver
and am left with situations
i must accept as permanent
change not for the better
but i know once accepting
i will be able to better the
permanent change
and live
to those who do not believe
remember
free will
may we all
feel life is a miracle
blessed
thank you God
thank you JESUS
thank you all
Amen

To know Eva had a glorious day looking into the eyes of God! That is so precious!!!!

To learn Jackiey was able to deal with agony by realising missed meds and able to up the stim! I, too, up the stim when the pain is spiking and needing to be brought under control..... so good to know we can up the intensity to ride out a problem!

To awaken refreshed with rest for yet another day, closer to the time of visiting Doc regarding this painful right arm.

To feel the rebound of the gift of the giver when through pro bono work I am able to help others, and yet, come away with such great JOY myself. God is so good in revealing to us it is more blessed to give than to receive. Maybe one day I will TRULY understand those very simple and yet complex words.

To know we each come freely here in this place to pray one another along life's highway.

Amen,
Mark56
