RAYS NEEDED FOR MOM

PattyInAK · January 31, 2009, 10:04:05 AM

Hi you guys. I am still in Yuma, AZ and will be here until ??????? Its hard to say. Mom had a laminectomy on Jan. 6 and just came home from the rehab hospital on Jan. 27. She is having a rough time, more leg pain, nausea, etc. I read up on it and the leg pain is normal as the nerves heal. The nerves were compressed in the lumbar and now that surgery has been done they are swelling and healing, so that causes the pain. It sure is hard to not get discouraged when this happens after surgery, I know all too well firsthand. My dad feels so helpless and so I just try to take control of the situation and do what I can. My dad can take care of himself, fix breakfast and lunch, do shopping and laundry, etc., so that helps.

Thankfully Dan (bless his heart) suggested I stay as long as my folks need me, and it has given all my sisters peace of mind knowing I am here. Its not like I have a job waiting for me at home because I am unemployed right now. Long Term Disability may cut me off at any time and I have no idea how we will pay the bills but I am not giving up on trusting God. Dan and I have lots of options, and we may be broke but we still have our 40 acres!!!! Thats a great asset, and we have someone who is very, very close to making us an offer, and that gives me a great feeling of hope.

Please pray for my mom, that she will be able to endure what she is going thru. Thanks.

Rays are coming for your Mom! Bless Dan for being so understanding that you can stay longer with your folks and help them. Bet Willy and Alex are missing their Mom, though.

I'm so glad that you are able to stay with your Mom Patty. I am sure it makes her feel better just to have you there. Hang in there on everything else. Things really do have a way of working out just the way God intends. I'll be praying that things get better for your Mom and of course for you as well!
