The wrist brace we spent $22.95 on Wednesday night did nothing but make my symptoms more pronounced. It was a waste of money and I found out today I overspent by $4. I could have gotten it cheaper elsewhere.
I went to therapy and Saker feels like we are not making progress and he is puzzled by my symptoms because the movements that make my arm hurt do not match what should be happening. So basically, he says something else seems to be going on in my arm and he can't isolate it. He doesn't want to continue therapy until I've been further evaluated since he isn't sure what he is working with. So I am disappointed. I was so sure I'd be able to beat this tendonitis and never counted on symptoms moving down my arm and being weird like this.
Last night I yawned and took too deep of a breath when I did and I felt my rib pulling away from the cartilage of my sternum again. Thankfully, it only hurts when I breath too deeply or reach forward or backward with my right arm. But it was disappointing because it had barely healed and wasn't bothering me anymore.
My ankle has also been in the act. Thankfully I am walking normally and it doesn't hurt for the most part during the day. But at night it gets to aching once in a while.
So it seems my life is weighing heavy on me right now. But, God is still in control.
This morning I read a post by my daughter on Facebook and the comments of a person whose son she works with at the library and was encouraged to realize that she is growing in her walk with God and others are noticing.
Today I went to the fabric store and the clerk was bawling her eyes out. She told me what happened and I was able to give her a big hug and tell her I would pray for her, and I did.
At another store I went in the restroom and a lady dropped her pencil as she left the bathroom. I picked it up and went after her to see if it was hers and she seemed so grateful that I returned it to her.
At Costco, there was a lady who I kept coming across in the aisles whom I had spoken with right after I had entered the store. We were admiring some fountains. As we came across each other numerous times, we never spoke again to each other, but each time we smiled at each other, making each other's day a little brighter.
Okay, so maybe I am not doing as well as I would wish physically, but God is still good, He is still in control. He brings me across the paths of others who need cheering and He brings others across my path to cheer me. He is teaching me lessons every day through the difficulties I deal with and the things I encounter in my days.
