Good afternoon and Happy Sabbath,
I am thankful that this pain is easing up. Friday morning I awoke and my foot was hurting me. I have had pain like this before and it typically goes away after an hour but it continued through today and eased up during church service. I had considered not doing my part for the children as I would have to climb alot of stairs and go down long halls to get to set up the classrooms. I told a church sis that I thought it might be gout or rheumatoid arthritis. My mom has rheumatoid arthritis and I've seen her struggle over the years with her spine and joints, even leading to having to get a knee replacement. Ah, yes the joys of getting older.
Actually first my hand started hurting and that pain has continued. I started getting so worried as to think I needed to go get a tetanus shot but a quick search of my medical records showed I had my TDAP in late 2023. I forget where I accidentally stabbed myself with the keyring on 2/19. I thought it was my finger but it might have been my knuckle. I see a small mark where it could have been (my memory really is trash these days). I have been hurting really ever since. It's not swollen or appearing different from my other hand. It hurts to open bottles and it sore to the touch, even with gentle touch.
I'll keep watching it and if it gets worse I'll consider going to the ER. But I'm thankful my foot feels better because it was really tough. I'm a vegetarian and try to eat less processed foods. I had a bunch of habanero peppers in my meals and wonder if that aggravated anything. Today was women's day or prayer and world wide there is a move for all people to pray (Gather25). All I know was I was having a very tough time this morning and it went away during service and I am thankful.
I am thankful for the appointments I was able to do this week. I will follow up with my doctor to go over the results. I have a few large fibroid and an ovarian cyst that caused me turmoil from December into January. I was prescribed something but decided to not take it and instead increase my iron supplement and I noticed a difference. I'll continue doing this because the meds they prescribe are too expensive and I rather do things as naturally as possible. I have always said I can't take medicine to save my life and I surely don't want to pack on something else to my struggle routine that will be hard to be consistent with and may have nasty side effects.
A coworker in accounts/billing department reached out and informed me that there was a check that did not clear. First she said it was from September 2024 and then that later, it was from July 2024. Last year I didn't pay attention to those things..The money was pouring in from my other gig so I didn't worry about checks not posting or arriving because I was living with abundance and all thanks to the Lord. She asked me if I still had the check and of course I didn't. She reissued that check for me. I do need it and it is on time for my current challenges. I wasn't even looking for it but God has sent it my way.
I am thankful for the Lord's hand on my life. I am thankful for His healing power. I am thankful for His provisons and His protection.
God is good..Have a blessed day :)
