Desperately need prayer!
Second of all, I have been having a long healing time as many of you know, and my left shoulder has still been hurting. My right shoulder quit hurting immediately after the spinal fusion. Well, they did an MRI and today I found out that I have a torn rotator cuff. I am fricking not believing this!!!!!!! The surgeon wants to repair it right away, like next week if he can work me in or the next at the latest. When I told him I had just accepted a job for November 17, he gave me another option., but he wasn't very pleased with it. He said he could do a steroid injection that would hold me for a month or two, but I would definitely have to have surgery by the first of the year. He said recovery could take as much as 4 months! I don't know what to do. Ron and I have talked it to death this evening. I feel like if I don't go to work on Nov 17, then I will lose the chance at a really great job. But, I also feel like it would be really dishonest to start a job and then have to take off within months for possibly 4 months! Please pray for me! I am going to call my disability case manager in the morning to see what my options are with them, and then I am planning to call my new nurse manager.
By the way, don't anyone get the idea not to come this weekend, I have 5 pounds of fresh shrimp coming in tomorrow and 3 pounds of turkey sausage of 1 pound of andouille! Plus, Ron and I really need a boost!

I really hate to hear this very much, who knows maybe this is Gods way of telling you to take care of yourself and he will provide something when the time is right. He provided the past two opportunities, but you have not been in the best of health, maybe getting this corrected and just when you are better, then the JOB OF A LIFETIME will come!!!!! Just my thoughts, although it would be hard for me to deal with as well. STRESS Your brother is in my prayers and I will continue to keep him in my prayers!!! We will see you on our way up that way tonight, Scott and the boys will be leaving this morning! Let Ron know that my son is excited about all the shrimp!!!!! Growing pre-teen!!! LOL
Take care, Plese and Thanks fro having this!!!

I keep telling myself that "He knows the plans He has for you, plans not to harm you, but to give you HOPE and a future". I am trying really hard to have faith and not let this get me depressed again.
I am so looking forward to seeing all of you. I remember those growing boys, I had one of my own and 3 foster sons, all teenagers! My Matt could outeat any adult and never gain an ounce! Maybe I will order another pound or two of shrimp????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My goodness sweetheart, you and your family is surly being tested. You and all of you family are in my prayers. Wish I could come up tomorrow, but we were there last weekend with our Sunday School couples retreat. Wish I could have had time to meet up with you. Well on another note, please keep Scott in line. I know how he gets when he's away from home. LOL. Just kidding. He's really been looking forward to the getaway and having some fun. He works very hard and needs a wonderful weekend with his amazing famly. I know that you will treat them all right. See you soon. Melissa

I read this when you posted it, but please forgive me for not responding. My memory is so bad, and I kept thinking of what I thought i said to you but I never posted it. I forgot to post it. No excuses. Those who know me, really know how bad my memory is,for real.
I am so sorry that this has happened and I hope that you are able to come up with a great solution for your problem. But, just remind yourself that God has taken good care of you and your family, and he is going to provide for you. Even if you don't take this certain job, which we hope you do, but if something happens, God will bring a long another job just when you need it and are able to return!
Have a great luncheon tomorrow, and I wish I could have some of that wonderful looking shrimp!
I hope they get everything taken care of soon and you can get on with living. I have to agree that the right job will come along when the time is right. Take care of you first!
Prayers going up for your brother too.

P E A C E - It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
