Default Well...more bad news

I talked to the office manager yesterday. Apparently there are contract issues with the hospital my pain mgmt. clinic (there are many drs in one umbrella clinic all over the dfw area) not knocking them; they're wonderful. In fact, they're doing everything they can on their end or it seems so. Well, they can't get the contract worked out and one other person and I are caught in limbo. So, it could be Monday; it could be weeks. Very discouraging since I depend so much on my hands. I graduate May 11th with my M.Ed and am doing lots of papers, I teach so I grade a lot. It is becoming overwhelming. I also have a broken right one. It's almost healed. 2 more weeks. Luckily, no cast. it's also very depressing to be in pain, know you have a solution, and know there's nothing you can do about it. Anyway, just very discouraging. We figured we would be doing the permanent by now. Anyway, so that's the story. Hope for some relief soon

TK

How very frustrating this is and I'm so sorry you are caught in limbo.
No wonder you are discouraged so. Dealing with this pain on a daily basis can wear us down pretty far.....farther than we knew possible at times.
Please take it one day at a time. Days can seem pretty long tho, and sometimes facing yet another day, knowing that there's even another day after that, can almost become the last straw.

It sure does become overwhelming.

I pray that you will catch a break very soon.

Instead, I will just add in PRAYERS as well. Rae captures our sentiment just right.

AMEN!!
AMEN!!
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!!

arms reach out with that
worn flannel shirt with a smell
as warm baked bread makes
one feel
those arms wrapped around us
as you i and the rest who were chosen
i wish you calm in your days
and know we are GODS
CREATION AT WORK ALWAYS
AND FOREVER
AMEN!

Thank y'all! Just waiting. Having good days for the most part. the weather is in the 70s, but a cold spell is coming this week. I'll just pray for low pain and a quick resolution to whatever this snafu is with the dr and hospital! My pt is low enough that scheduling should go fast. I'll keep praying too. Thanks, friends!
