Healing.....

Well I continue to heal and my doctor has weaned me off of the percocet. At first I thought he was a looney tune....a big froot loop if you will.....to tell me to go from percocet to Tylenol....it's like going from methamphetamine to chicklets.....the first few days were rough, luckily I had Kevin's sister here, I would have gotten absolutely nothing done and no rest because I would have stressed about not getting anything done having no rest....terrible cycle indeed....but as I stated thank goodness Debbie was here.

The edema seems to be softening up, that's what the doctors want....but there is still some hardness and it is STILL uncomfortable......BUT....there's a light....a small glimmer of light and while this may not be much for some it is a huge deal to me....I can sleep on my side!! For the past month I have been perched up in the bed night after night like a mummy and if I move I wake instantly. Now I can sleep for about 2 hours at a time on my side....both sides and it's a little more comfortable even if it is temporary.

I plug along with school, knocking out another A in my last class. I have well exceeded my own expectations and realize that my illness is not an excuse for weakness or failure. Some may call me crazy for continuing, some have had the nerve to say it to my face....but walk a mile...half a mile...in my shoes you would be surprised how much determination you can muster up when faced with an adverse situation....don't get me wrong, I absolutely think I'm crazy, but at least I am smart crazy;)

I realize that GOD has a plan that will only be revealed in his time..... it seems like he's taking his sweet time with me because he knows I'm impatient so this is a test and a lesson......I think.....James 5:7-8 consistently tells me to be patient for the plan and purpose are in HIS hands.....so with that.....I continue to SAVE MY LIFE......
