I finally went to the doctor today for the pain in my shoulder. Dressing, lifting, and even closing a cabinet door were causing me immense pain for ten days. I do not remember injuring my shoulder, but something is causing the pain. I can barely do my hair each morning! My husband told me I needed to see the doctor. I’m in the habit of taking his advice.
The doctor prescribed a very strong anti-inflammatory drug for me, instructed to rest my right arm and apply heat to the area. He said that lifting a heavy toddler and caring for four children could easily strain my shoulder. My right wrist is hurting also. However, resting my right arm, even for a lefty, is going to be challenging. After all, it IS a right handed world! 😉 I use my right arm a lot more than I had thought I did! If this treatment doesn’t improve my shoulder, I will have to have a cortisone shot, and then possibly an MRI on the area. I humbly request your prayers. I have so much to do with homeschooling and church work and work in general. I decided that whatever the Lord has for me during this trial, I am to going to accept with as much gratitude as I can. I know from experience that every trial only leads me closer to Him and that’s exactly where I want to be! I am hoping, however, that I will get there without being in the trial too long! 😉 I suppose that’s the human side of me talking.
Leslie is almost back to 100%! She is playing and laughing again with no recurring fever. She doesn’t have the same old appetite she once had, but she is still on medication, so that might be the reason.
I am not sure about blogging. I am only able to use my husband’s laptop because of my shoulder. All of my photos are on our desktop. I have them on CD, so I may be able to place them on here, I’m not sure. It may be a while before I get the kinks worked out. Thank you for continuing to to check in here, despite my irregularity in posting. I know there are a million places – literally – to surf on the Internet. Your stopping by here is much appreciated.

I hope you have a terrific day!
