morning sunshine! ooooo, i love that "hope begins in the dark..!" it immediately got me! i am adding that to my collection. thank you for sharing this one. i am going to be pondering this today, i can already tell. and so sa-weet to see your amazing cloud photo of hope and inspiration that you captured the other day. and sadly, my low back is still killing me bad like agony level 10 and level 10 plus off the 1-10 chart so much of the time lately. this has been flared up for four weeks now and it is so hard to make it through work just on ice until i can go to PT after work and get right home and take a pain med (i can't take the pain meds until i am home for the day because they impair me ... wasted at times but sometimes the pain meds don't take away all of the pain. my doc resorted to giving me a steroid shot right in the low back pain area yesterday but i have not noticed any improvement yet. he said it does not work for everybody but if it does help me i might notice improvement in the next day or so. but mostly TARa, this has been wearing me out. i feel like crippled much of the time right now, moving really slow, and carrying an ice pack with me everywhere. the scriptures say over and over that we not be given more than we can handle .. that we will be given the strength we need. but this past four weeks, much of it, has felt worse (not joking or exag) than when i gave birth to ~A and ~E naturally without any pain meds! and the first one was also induced, so that one hurt even more than the second one cause it ain't natural to force your body to have contractions before it is ready to naturally. i am not kidding that, at times, much of the time, this flare up has felt worse than the babies. and i told my doc this and he was amazed and said i have a high tolerance for pain (he has known me and my family for 8 years, so he knows me). this is sucking the life out of me and has got to ease up soon. i am so glad my doc tried the steroid shot on me (i felt desperate to try something more yesterday). and i was pleased that he suggested before i even brought it up. all the PT can do right now is help me get out of pain because i am not ready yet for much PT for real. if this doesn't ease up soon, i feel desperate enough to talk more with my doc about surgery. i know ick ick surgery is always always a last resort! but i am pleased that i don't have to skip church today because of back pain (i missed last sunday and i missed that so much ... missed being fed and missed my church family and little ones, but i stayed home laid up on pain meds. but i asked one of my church friends to pick me up so i don't have to drive today, so i can be on the pain meds and not be a danger on the road. i can be there in church and just be on pain meds (and not have to work...make decisions...really function...and especially drive to/from). so i am looking forward to this. wow, didn't mean to leave you such a long comment, girl. the words just kept coming. thanks for your ear. hope your day is sweet and peaceful. and thank you so much for sharing this quote. just what i needed to hear. ((hugs friend)) beany
