I'm not sure if I'm to the point of laughing about my situation because its funny all the strange things that can happen to a person and God's giving me a wonderful perspective on our situation, or if I'm losing my mind. Either way, laughter is the theme of the day today. I found out today that not one, but two of my ribs have moved out of alignment. Really? Yes, really! Now, don't get me wrong, this can cause quite a bit of pain, especially when I try to take a deep breath or am in certain positions, but I just have to laugh. This is the "straw that broke the camel's back" in a week of really bad kidney pain that nearly led to the ER (finally discovered that was being caused by one of my meds) and really bad stomach pain that has yet to be diagnosed so we're just going to hang out with some vicodin until the genetic test come back. Or perhaps it is because God has shown me the amazing, generous side of people. We now have twelve dozen ears of corn in our freezer and were told this week to make room for part of a cow that's heading our way later this month thanks to a few friends. What a blessing! We also learned that it will be cheaper for us to stay in our house than to move, and that there might be a job opportunity available for Scott. I know in the last post I said I didn't want him to go back to work, and ideally I don't; but this job would pay for his tuition and he could move into an engineering job when he graduated. We'll see what happens. I mean, ideally, I'd get better and just go back to work myself, but let's be honest things aren't looking good, are they? All in all, God's proven Himself time and again. I have a tendency to get flustered and a little freaked out at times over what the future holds, but I hold tightly to the promises that no matter what, He will be faithful regardless of what the tests show. Two more weeks and hopefully we will know what in the world is going on inside my body.
PS On a VERY happy note: Troy Floor went back to work part-time this week! He is doing well overall; please pray that their family would continue on a path towards good health.
