Hi folks - I was wondering what you would do here? I do a prayer ministry for a group at my church. People email, text or call me with their prayer requests and praises, I correct grammar, spelling and such and email them out to some 100+ people. It's really easy, and it's been great to stay in touch with life these past years as I've been unable to go out much. Anyway, I've put myself on there this past 15 months on the journey to SCS. Most people have never heard of it and just know it can help with my pain. Now I have some nerve pain in my legs but also have a lot! of arthritis pain, and have pain all over my body, not just my lower body. Mind you, I will be thrilled with whatever pain reduction the SCS gives me, but I'm finding that everyone thinks ALL my pain will be gone. I don't want to limit the Lord but this is very unrealistic. I'm finding it difficult to reply when people come up to me saying how wonderful it is that all my pain will finally be gone and I'll be out of my wheelchair and back to my life again! They don't realize there is so much that my life can be better with me still in my chair. I don't want to be a downer about things but I know I'll have a hard time going to church in the month's ahead and seeing everyone wondering why I'm still in my chair, and why am I still disabled? Do I set them straight now, telling them what the SCS can and cannot do? Or do I let it go and not limit their expectations (and prayers)? Wierd question I know - do you all have any advice on this?
