SO.......
I am thankful today for continuing to have faith that we can get through what's ever in our path by putting one foot in front of the other! It does feel like a mountain, but we all have mountains to climb. It's wonderful once you can look out from the top and see how far you've come.
Yesterday, I could have posted that Mr. Clark was just doing fantastic. (**Can't wait to show you his latest little project.) The bedroom is temporarily on hold while we wait on the electrician to tie up some loose ends and bring it to code!!! And of course Mr. Clark can't stay still. Remember-- no sitting, laying, now standing is difficult so he keeps his mind distracted. Ya... He just is finding joy in building-- something he's never had the desire to do and has become quite good at his new found talent!!!! ; ) --Sooooooo proud of him b.t.w.
In the mean time (TODAY) he is having issues with his left eye. The good eye. It has started bleeding (in the back of his eye) and we are waiting to see if the blood will dissipate on its own or if he will need eye surgery to remove the big blood blob so that he can see better. Pretty Scary. The whole dialysis thing is on hold today because he gets Heparin which may encourage the bleeding more. (good and bad) It's a day off for us! Keep him in your prayers.
Yesterday, I also FINALLY got into the Specialist to tell me the results from the x-ray on my shoulder. It's still a guessing game because I can't have an M.R.I. due to the metal in my ears from my stapies surgery from years ago. Yes, I won't sacrifice my hearing or my balance. So the verdict today is an impingement (pinching the nerve when I move) . The long process of guessing about the rotator cuff continues. I start physical therapy next week. If that isn't successful then I will get cortizone shots or scope surgery. Grrrrrrrr I'm managing but wearing down. Mr. Clark has served me dinner in bed. He has Set up the dialisate because the big pure flow box bit the dust. It's fixed now but Lifting the bags has been impossible for me. We've just been a team. I'm noticing that his heart breaks when he comes in from work and I'm in my PINKS--- the flannel pj's!! I've lived in them lately!!! He's a trooper!
We have to be THANKFUL for our own mountains to climb. So many have it so much more difficult. This is just a bump along the way for us. Although we all never know what's around the corner we can gain courage that we are not alone. And the Savior, Jesus Christ carries our burdens.
Can't wait for this weekend. YOU KNOW THIS IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR!!! See what it is:
