I've been in that position where my arms are numb or there was some point of discomfort that I wasn't quick enough to speak up about and then the test or whatever is off and running. But you Vicky, you, just keep on keeping on. I know He provides the grace we need to endure when we need it, rarely ahead of time. Trusting Him with your next treatment and your next and the next 9 after that. I'm glad you got some good meds. Nothing like good meds!! I am amazed by you and send my love to you dear woman who feels like a sister in so many ways.

I'm venting....and like a pressure cooker, I know that "steam" must escape or there will be a big mess. <br />But...the calm takes over, and I know that this isn't about me or my feelings. This is about how He continually molds and shapes. <br />Our God knows what He is doing and why. I pray that as He continues to do a marvelous work through you, that He will grant you more comfortable days than uncomfortable ones and that He will always be ever close to you and your every need.<br />I pray that for you.<br />I love you, sweet friend.

I too argue respectfully with our dear Lord and ask Him to send His angels to help her. I too wish I could take some of this on me so she doesn't have to feel it all. And like you, Vicky helps me to reach higher. She IS honesty and Grace in motion. I just kept nodding, and saying "Yes, me too" as I read your post.<br />Loves to you, Peggy Sue,<br />LindaLinda Seppa Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336969827398454131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-44943580608848831022013-11-01T18:47:36.279-05:002013-11-01T18:47:36.279-05:00Oh my dear friend, sweet Vicky

I remember how that hurt you so in a prior medical procedure. The tears started to roll as I read of the rest of this post. I am TRUSTING God Almighty that He is holding your body, heart and spirit as you endure this adversity. I am so, so sorry you are having to go through this. <br /><br />I am praying constantly and believing His promise that All is well!<br />Loves and hugs, dear one.<br />Your friend LindaLinda Seppa Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336969827398454131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-31151855657002835442013-11-01T17:07:02.831-05:002013-11-01T17:07:02.831-05:00Prayers and more prayers.

I am certainly praying that you find some relief (I actually find that Tramadol is a good painkiller!).

Sometimes, I stand up and walk around..thinking about you. Sometimes, I argue with the man upstairs on your behalf. (yes, argue! this is NOT blasphemy. It is how close my connection is...with him. I simply say, "Ok, Lord you can send angels to hold her up through these treatments, and let the feathers be like downy pillows for her arms and shoulders). Sometimes I really wish I could take on some of what your going through..so you don't have to 'feel' it all....sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, But my dear beautiful Vicky, ALL the time you make me reach higher, you humble me, and you are prayed for and respected beyond what you can begin to comprehend! You are honesty and Grace in action. Here is praying and wishing you, that the next treatment will be like downy wings...and that the lords arms surround you in a huge embrace of comfort and peace! Much love and many hugs!!!

Just a matter of fact accounting of this phase of the journey. You have a wonderful way with words.<br /><br />My heart is with you, my prayers are there too - and I just have to say again: I wish it were not this way for you Vicky.

Knowing how much beds are, I thought I would pass on to you what I got and Love...It is a 3-4 inch extremely dense foam pad. It weighs a lot, is extremely heavy to lift...not anything like an egg carton. It is amazing, you lay it on the mattress and put a cover over it and you have a great sleep!!! I think I paid 140 for it but sure beats 6000 for a new one! Just thought Id pass that on. I hope all goes well, I love you and hope you are still enjoying your MOM-CAVE!!!!<br />barb nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060671391174205718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-26410186742442517632013-11-01T09:05:25.872-05:002013-11-01T09:05:25.872-05:00Keeping you in my prayers. {{HUG}}Keeping you in my prayers. {{HUG}}Debbie Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739278283392278860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-7101520080669634122013-11-01T07:54:53.346-05:002013-11-01T07:54:53.346-05:00I know the feeling that sometimes life is just so ...I know the feeling that sometimes life is just so hard, and pain is such a great leveler.
