Just thought I would jump on here and do a bit of an update on what has been going on around here. For the last several months I have had some numbness in my right leg - going from the hip to the knee. Well, I had several things going on at the same time - a knot on the top of my right foot as well. When I tried to set up an appointment to get my foot checked out - God shut that door and thankful I pursued getting the issue with my leg checked out.
I went to a Chiropractor just after Labor Day and had like 6-7 x-rays done. Come to find out I have a list of things wrong with my back. I have a bulging disc at L5- this is what is causing the numb feeling. Then I found out I have scoliosis 2 places - one on my back and one at my neck. I have multiple bone spurs. I have some vertebra fused together on the right side. I believe this is due to the way I had to sleep when I had my port. I have several vertebrae that are not properly spaced. I think that is it.... ughh. It was overwhelming at first. And has taken me time to process it all.
So I am on a treatment plan of 3 times a week for 2 weeks. Then 6 weeks of 2 times a week. Then 1 time per week for 6 weeks. Seems like a revaluation in the middle sometime and then more x-rays at the end. I am praying that these treatments work. I had 2 treatments last week and 3 this week. Next week will be another 3 appointments week.
All this extra stuff has added extra stress to me. I am staying with my healthy eating and doing the best I can do - I am limited in what I can do exercise wise. And thankfully I have not gained any weight. Sadly, I didn't lose any weight this week either. But right now, I am just thrilled to be maintaining.
I have probably mentioned this before, but it really does seem like ever since I chose to follow God's way that I feel like I have been hit from every direction. And so really this is just another attack.
I am putting a positive spin on things- I am thankful that I have been let to pursue getting my back checked out. Had I not then more damage could have been done to my back by leaving things the way they were. It has been a challenge to fit everything into my schedule and honestly, I have had to put a few things off, but at least I am getting my back taken care of and God has provided the $$ for the treatments.
I would sure appreciate your prayers for healing. We serve a good God who is quite capable of healing us. I just have to leave the timing in His hands.
Praying for you friend! I am glad you are getting the help you need!
