Like when your nurse calls and says...
"Dr. Panwalkar doesn't see anything worrisome for cancer in your back!"
"It looks like you have a bulging disc..."
I've never been so happy to hear I have a bulging disc!
She said "rest, take Advil, use heat or cold, and it should heal in a few weeks time."
And then that really little voice in my head went "whew, and you get to keep your hair for awhile longer too."
“When we lay the soil of our hard lives open to the rain of grace and let joy penetrate our cracked and dry places, let joy soak into our broken skin and deep crevices, life grows. How can this not be the best thing for the world? For us?”

ReplyDeleteThanks be to God- Thank you Lisa!
Deletelol You are so funny. I am so glad it's a bulging disc too lol
ReplyDeleteBoy, you sure keep us entertained here in blogville.
We hold our breath at every hiccup lol
I am praying so hard for you to get better.
I know you will!!!
And I worry about how to share and what to share and even when - I feel that collective "holding of breath." I know when I can exhale, all of you can too :)
DeleteWonderful!!! Good news can be just how you look at it! Today I had a colonoscopy because of problems I was having, but they didn't really find anything! yay!! I guess I thought it was funny because I couldn't stop laughing when I woke up. My dear husband recorded me...and put it on my blog--dear soul that he is :)

and not that I am glad that you have a bulging disc, but so so thankful that he doesn't see cancer!
ReplyDeleteIn a way, I AM thankful for the bulging disc- you know- its such an odd perspective but maybe I am meant to give thanks for that too...
DeleteNever thought I'd say congrats on your bulging disc, but by golly I'm saying it! That is aweomse news sweet Vicky! Sending many hugs and smiles your way. Now rest and take it easy and get that bulging disc to mend.
ReplyDeletePS--I'm doing a blog giveaway right now, and I think you'd love the stuff. I hit up Hobby Lobby the other day and bought a bunch of fun Fall stuff for the giveaway. I know Minot has a Hobby Lobby, do you guys have one too?
Thanks Jen- such a great giveaway too! Hope everyone visits and checks it out :)

ReplyDeletePerspective is everything :) Thanks for celebrating with me!
DeleteOh, that rain of grace!!! I'm smiling here, too, as I think of perspective. A bulging disc is sooooo painful, but perspective here makes it something to be so thankful for, doesn't it???? All day yesterday I thought of you, prayed for you, and today I get to join in a celebration of thanks!!!! Love that picture up top!!! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! And I am all about keeping the hair!

ReplyDeleteI tried three times to comment on the other post. Silly iPad is giving me fits tonight.
How I wished I could help with the benefit.........wait. I might be able to help...how about I mail you a doily that you can use at the benefit auction?

ReplyDeleteHi Vicky !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so lucky & immensely glad to visit here after a long gap (due to my busy schedule with my son's medical institute admissions) & read about your good health & courage. However you were always in my good thoughts throughout this gap & my blessings were following you on your back all along this period.
In a way how lucky we are to know that you have a treatable disc prolapse or a bulge. Do take good care of it & you shall be OK soon.
Love & Blessings to you !!
It's a beautiful thing!!!......
