Hi Everybody

Lynda, You are such a sweetheart. I am so thankful for you. I wish that all of us lived closer together LOL, but it gives us people to visit when we go OOT...LOL. You are right about the PT...not particularly looking forward to it...but it is a "necessary evil" and it got me from the point where I could not walk last time...to the point where I could go shopping or whatever I wanted to do...so I will do what I have to do. I just want to be able to sleep. It is hard trying to function during the day without it. Thanks for keeping me in prayer. I love you! Stephanie

Hi Stephanie. I am joining the others in lifting you up in prayer. I too am dealing with pain, and I am so grateful that the Lord is carrying me over the rough patches. God bless you. Peg

We will just pray each other through it. God brought us to it...he will bring us through, right? Hang in there... Love in Christ, Stephanie

You are so right. He never gives us more than we can bear, so He must think we are pretty strong, right? I have been going to PT since the first part of November, and I see an orthopedist on Friday, the 13th. Sure glad I'm not superstitious! I hope/fear he is going to give me a shot in the shoulder. I too have a great deal of difficulty sleeping at night. I'm still in a hospital bed, but I am praying that I will be well enough painwise to be out of it by February. This shoulder thing has been going on for about 9 months, and having to use my arms so much after surgery sure didn't help. I didn't mean to complain. Just a little frustrated at times. LOL I pray that you get a good night's sleep, dear sister in Christ. I'm going to take my Dilaudid tonight and try to do the same. Love, Peg

Dear Sweet Peg, I did not view your post as complaining at all! We all need to vent at times. All of us go through stuff. And...how would we know how to specifically pray for each other if we don't share what we are going through? I can certainly understand your frustration. I pray that you will have a restful night, and that a regular bed is not far off! Love, Stephanie

Hi Stephanie, I'm sorry for the pain you have been going through. I pray you will soon be feeling much better. Hope you had a nice birthday celebration with your son! I agree about the group here having a special bond. Its 'cause we are joined in the family of God! I'm thankful for this board too. Blessings!
