I must have hurt something while I was cleaning up the playroom upstairs on Friday. My lower-to-mid back was hurting until this morning when I apparently had enough ibuprofen in my system to ease the ache.
Tonight as I write this, the pain is returning a little. I guess it's time for another dose of ibuprofen before bedtime. I didn't work at the library this morning because the pain kept me up after I went to the bathroom around 2 am. I showered and napped until almost 11:00 when mom called.
We had thunder and lightening tonight but still no rain, it was such a tease! I hope we receive rain soon; we are so dry that wild fires start and have burnt down homes and parts of the George Bush park off of Westheimer Rd.
My ankle hurts again most likely from walking today. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Skaribas for next Tuesday to help me manage my pain. Jim works for him (iMed is the doctor's IT department) and gave him a shot for his shoulder in late June and recommended that I go since my pain is spreading more to my feet and right ankle.
I am grateful for the love and guidance of the Savior during my painful trials, and have always felt His protection. I feel the love and understanding of my loving Heavenly Father who is aware of all of my trials, even the struggles with Seth's outbursts and Noah's health problems. I need to focus on reading the scriptures and praying (personal prayers) in the morning, during meals, and my nightly prayers. We need to read the scriptures with Seth and Noah as well on a daily basis, and pray each morning for them to have a positive day at school, and the strength to endure the bad days with a feeling of peace in their hearts.
I am blesseed to have Jim as a wonderful husband and father.
