Good Morning!

This past weekend, when Tim got home, I picked him up from the truck stop, and we went straight to do some car shopping to replace the van that was totalled out while I was in the hospital. I started out with plenty of energy, but took my cane, just in case I started having problems with my balance. When we got home, I started having abdominal pain. We had made plans for a date night on Saturday, but the pain flared up so suddenly and so severely, that I couldn't do anything but sit in my recliner with a heating pad. We couldn't go out to dinner and a drive-in movie because of my pain, so my sweet and loving hubby ordered the exact meal we would have gone out to eat, and we enjoyed time together at home.

That night, I woke up in pain multiple times, and had trouble lying back down. At 3am on Sunday, After several hours of this, Tim was worried & said "get dressed. We're going to the ED." We got there a little after 0400, and they ran some tests. My shunt is okay, but I have another ovarian cyst. They gave me pain meds and sent me home with "let's wait and see what happens." I'm thinking "déjà vu"

So, last night, Tim dropped off my new prescription (which now has me flagged at the pharmacy, because of how many have been written for me this month, each by a different doctor), and told me to let him know when I decided what I wanted for lunch. I texted him, & he went all the way across town to get the Olive Garden dinner I asked for. After we ate lunch, I rested a while before we left to pick up my prescription and go to church.

It was good to see everyone at church, and I am so thankful for the friendships I have there. I am thankful for the people praying for me as we navigate this mess of pain, waiting for answers. I have an appointment tomorrow to see what they will do about the cysts. In the meantime, I am praying that God will use this time to draw me and others closer to Him.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
