It's certainly the reminder I needed today. To give you some background...I had a follow up dr. appt. today for my foot. The dr. encouraged me to get a cortizone injection after doing some x-rays. I explained that I would be leaving the country the following day and that maybe the time wasn't right. I've never had one before so I was asking a lot of questions, and explaining that the next 48-72 hours were going to be critical for me with packing, traveling, flying, walking, etc. The dr. not only said I should get the shot, but went as far as to say "I will be your new best friend because this shot is going to help you so much".
So, I decided to get the shot. The first few hours I was flying high, pumped up, ready to go...took Mary Kate to get her "back to school shoes". Ran some final errands. At about 2:30 my foot and ankle hurt so badly - I could not walk, climb the stairs, etc. I had not factored in this issue for the day. I called the nurse and asked what I should do. She said, "elevate the foot for the rest of the day and take motrin".
"Elevate". No time for elevation!
That's when the tears came rolling down my cheeks. The build up of emotions came rushing out. All the strengtgh I have been mustering up to be courageous for the girls flew out the window. I broke down. Tears and moans followed.
I got in bed, "elevated" the foot, took motrin, and had a good 'ol cry session. Just when I was really getting into my pity party, Mary Kate came into my room and gave me this piece of paper she had written on.
Thank You God for Mary Kate's child-like faith. Thank You God that she is teaching me on the eve of our departure to trust YOU, no matter what.
Mary Kate - I love you too!
Wow - is Treasure Cove powerful , or what ?
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest gift Mary Kate could give to you, Lisa.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
ReplyDeleteThe text in your post seem to be running off
the screen in Firefox. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let
you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the
problem solved soon. Cheers

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm going to start my own blog
ReplyDeletesoon but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
