Well at least no more external metal. Staples are out and not itching. Yay! Dr. Mac and his nurse Melissa were very impressed at my walking...I am doing MUCH better than was ever expected. For that I am thankful and know that the numerous and continuous prayers to a healing God are the cause of the fast healing.
Also got a new Xray taken this morning and got to see the amazing things he was able to do in the surgery...I actually have four screws and two rods compressing the SI joint. I no longer have sacroiliac joints thus eliminating the pain that existed before...and I pray that after the healing is done that pain doesn't return.
Part of my quick healing is also thanks to Dr. Mac's talent and ability to bend one of the rods over my sacrum while staying under the muscle. If he had cut the muscle it would make healing a much lengthier process. I am so thankful for the experience and talent of my doctor and the surgical team.
I continue to be thankful for all of the outpouring of love and support from my friends (I would say co-workers, but they are all such great friends it seems to generic) Visitors are always welcome, I have been napping during the day, but I am happy to see anyone that wants to stop by.
Beth, I know this is a difficult time for you and that nothing I can say will suddenly make the sun come out any time soon..I wish It we that easy..Sometimes we just have to hold on and ride things out..to be as strong as we can and to trust that God has a plan (even if we don't understand it!) But that doesn't mean you're alone. You have many friends who truly care about what happens to you...I am one of those people, and that's why you're in my prayers every single day. I know you will get through this and that you'll come out on the other side even stronger then before. But until that time, please remember, you are loved very much..No hill is too high, no mountain too tall, for with faith in the Lord you can conquer them all...Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him..Psalm 62:5.....This has always helped me...say over and over, "With God all things are possible!" Love you Beth.. Love Debbie
