November is just about over, and once again I realize I've neglected the blog. Oops! November was a month full of blessings. Our church and small group has loved on us immensely this month, and we've been able to bless others as a result. I was also healthy enough to go on a 3-day adventure with my grandma, sister-in-law and mom to the Biltmore for my grandma's 80th birthday. We had a blast! My body kept up with me for the most part, and it didn't take as long to recover as I expected (I thought I'd be on the couch for a week; instead only 2 days!). My testimony at church went well, and I hope to attach a video to the blog in the near future. They did a great job editing it, and it turned out very nice. I've had several nice comments about the piece, so hopefully it touched some lives.
The weekend before Thanksgiving, I started having trouble walking due to hip pain, which made for a long week and an uncomfortable holiday. Yesterday, I went in for a cortisone shot...ouch! I spent a long and painful day on percocet, but today the pain is better. It will take a few days for the shot to kick in, and we are praying that it works. I'm not sure what caused the pain, maybe the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome? Who knows. Next week, my mom and I will head to the Cleveland Clinic to meet Dr. Cohen for the first time. I'm excited to hear what he has to say and what the game plan will be! Ryan's birthday is next week as well, then Christmas and Scott's birthday. December is such a busy month here, as I'm sure it is for everyone else. I pray you all had a great Thanksgiving and that you count your blessings this season. I am overwhelmed by the needs of others, at times, and am so thankful that God continues to provide for us!
