God Is so good!!

"How great is our God? Sing with me, How great is our God"? This song has Been Going through my head since I have been home from the hospital. I am still over whelmed by how I have seen God move in the past few months. First of all I have the best family, friends and church in the world. I have The best pastor who stuck by me through this whole thing, He's really been Our rock and his family is da bomb, I'm not sure how I would have made it with out them. (he secretly wishes I'd stop saying that). I can't for get My Mom who rarely left my side and Family that came just to give her a break!!

I have so many cards that my two closet doors are covered in them. I have so many people praying for me and calling me and visiting me from church and my family. I even had two of my sisters in Christ that called and came over just to lay hands on me and pray for me. I have seen where my God had this all mapped out before I was ever even sent to the ER. I had in the first Hospital nurses that where Christians and such encouragement to me. These nurses spent hours at a time with me just talking, I found out that one was the same denomination as my family and Even know a friend of mine that I worked with.

Also I was told that I would have to have a Picc Line put in which is a really big IV and I was so nerves that one of thoughs nurses promised me she would come hold my had while it was being placed and sure enough she did, what a blessing that was to me. Even that IV is a blessing, Because of the meds I'm on I have to have blood drawn twice a week but with the line in they don't have to stick me, I'm a hard one to stick.

This now is April Months later and I am fully recovered and back at work and church. Oh how my God has amazed me. I still to this day have thoughs cards up too!! Even now as I go though other things I can say God is blessing me daily with people I don't even know coming my way to help me. I AM BLESSED, I AM BLESSED, EVERY DAY THAT I LIVE I AM BLESSED!!!!

Listen to your Body!!

Hi Guys I'm back, I have been very sick for the past almost year and that's why I've not blogged but I'm back with a vengeance. This Blog is about my adventure as a Disabled person with a Pressure sore and a warning to everyone disabled or not to listen to your body, I'm glad I did because it probably saved my life.

Ok I'll start from the beginning, I Had surgery in September,08 and had not felt the same till now. I had tiredness and just was not me but that was it so I just thought I was anemic so I went for blood work and found out I was not (so they said). I just kept getting worse and in June of "08" I got a pressure sore. I went the DR, and got meds for it and it healed up. Ok fast forward to June "09". I got the pressure sore again in the same spot and still was feeling really rotten with no reason as to why. This time I was told it was fine and was not given meds. I went though my summer faking it the best I could till the end of July. It got worse this time. I went to the DR, and was given meds but by this time it was too late, I spent most of the summer sick and in September 09 it hit me like a tone of bricks. I could barely make it to work or church, every move was a struggle. Then in Oct. 09, I was given the worst possible news, you could see bone. I went to my surgeon only to get another "Oh it looks great your fine. It was that night that my life was changed. I was admitted and told the infection was in the hip bone. I spent ten days in the Hospital, two really because I had to be transferred from one to the other to have surgery to have that bone removed. I am currently at home on IV meds....strong ones to get rid of the infection.

Morale of my story......Listen to your body and don't let people tell you there is nothing wrong with you when you know there is!!
