Update on my back.

Some of you wanted an update after I saw the Orthopedic doctor, Here it is:

The doctor said there's nothing he can do for my back. He's not even sure physical therapy will help, but we're going to try that anyway, for a while and he said a shot in my back wouldn't even help right now, it's just too shot. I have degenerative lumbar scoliosis and he says there are spurs in my back and it's just so degenerated there's nothing he can do.

But I know somebody who can. 😃🙏👆 My Jesus will help me. Don't you know, if God can make a bug's butt light up at night, he can light up my life with a miracle. 😂

When I had that deep vein thrombosis, blood clot, in my lower leg, they said will take at least 3 months to heal, if it's going to. But sometimes people have those for years and they don't dissolve. But the risk is that, if it breaks loose, it can go straight to your heart and give you a fatal heart attack.

It was very painful too and burned, but me and my family and friends are prayer partners and we prayed that God would heal my blood clot...dissolve it. And when I had X-rays just 4 weeks later, there was no blood clot to be found. The doctor and nurses were floored. They couldn't believe it. haha They said that was the first they've ever seen that... that just doesn't happen. But God can do anything. We must not limit Him by unbelief. Nothing is impossible with God. He is a Way Maker, a Miracle Worker, a Promise Keeper, and Light in the Darkness. Keep looking up!

I'm staying in your prayer partnership and all together, we will get through this. You are a very special lady, so loved and admired for your strong and never ending faith. You are such an inspiration, to us all. You never cease to amaze me. I'm praying for God's speed, in a miraculous recovery.

I love you, Grace. May you forever be blessed!🙂🤗🥰😘💖🙏🌹

@LadyGrace I'm really sorry to see you suffer. It saddens me. I too believe in miracles and know that you are in, God's merciful hands.
🤗🥰🤗💖🙏🙌😘🌺

@Oster1 That means so much to me, all your prayers, as it is hard to walk even with my walker and especially to cook or do dishes etc., as I can only stand a couple minutes before I have to sit down again, due to the pressure that builds up in my lower back. 🤗❤

@LadyGrace This is heartbreaking. How can I help you, find help?

@Oster1 Darling, my doctor and staff are working on things for me. But thank you for asking. That really touches my heart. Probably the hardest part for me will be getting an electric scooter. If I have to be in one the rest of my life, then I want one that is really made well and will be comfortable for me. Those are quite expensive. I'm hoping Medicare or Medicaid will help pay for that and I believe they will but they don't pay for the motor part which is really weird because that's the most expensive part. Haha But I will manage. God will help me through that as well. I'm sure.

What I covet from you, is something you have already offered and have been giving me, your prayers, love, and support. That helps me more than anything could. And I will never forget that you are there for me and always have been. I could not be more grateful or thankful. My love to you always and don't forget. This is not a one-way Street. If you ever need me, please never hesitate to contact me. I am always here for you, as well.

I am in the process of trying to get in an apartment for the handicapped. That way, I will be able to get my scooter around in bigger places. And I understand that I will be able to wheel myself underneath the kitchen sink so that I can do dishes. The only thing I miss so bad is being able to soak in a bathtub. We only have showers here and sometimes I long to just soak in a soothing, warm mineral bath. They don't have those walk-in bathtubs like you see on TV haha. And I'm going to have to get a shower chair but even that won't last long because I really have trouble trying to get into the bathtub. And I really don't want anyone helping me in the bathtub. That would be very embarrassing, I don't care if it is a woman that would be helping. I'm not getting naked in front of anyone. 😂 I'm a private person and I am trying so hard to hold on to what little Independence I have. For however long that may last. I am also seeing about getting a housekeeper. It is very painful to try to cook or do anything. I've already pushed that to the limit. But I know God will see me through all this and as long as I can do work for Him, that's all that matters to me. I will be very happy. My love, always, to you.

I have one last dream that I'm still holding on to. I will realize that dream one day, I know, with God's help. And that is to have, and live in, my own mobile home.
