AS some who follow along know, I had some back surgery in early March to remove arthritis deposits pressing on my spinal chord.
That seemed to go well --recovery was a challenge living alone..but I followed the rules closely!
Started therapy and did very well... One exercise gave me fits but I was told to "push thru". 4th of July it blew up...bursitis and tendonitis from that exercise...all in the left hip bursa sack.
Never had THAT before!
Laid off for a few weeks, then gave in and got a cortisone shot in that area...laid off activity a few more weeks and yesterday, at work, I "stepped" wrong I guess and it felt like I was shot! Same place.
Sorta scary. So good for so long and now all these complications.
Things go so well and then after they messed with nerves in L3, L4, L5 and S1 bi-laterally, all this sets in 3 mos later and is a bit spooky!
Lord forgive my fears, but I could use some prayers from my friends here... feel a bit beaten down by "stuff" and then this!
Thanks folks! Working on my own advice to:
Keep the Son in my eyes!

Amen. Praying for God to be so close and so strong for you that as your head is bowed down in sorrow you feel it resting on His chest. Praying for the healing purchased by Jesus to be alive and strong for you.

I just got back from the phys. Therapist. He's a HS buddy of mine who owns this practice.
He gave me a real thorough going over poking and proding and makin me yelp.
His prognosis isn't a "medical" one, but I'll take it: He feels that this isn't the bursa flared back up, but all the limitations I've gone thru to allow that bursitis to heal, made that hip that much weaker, and the nerve is still ticked off for having been moved around in surgery.
He feels what I did was to pull the muscle and this is a muscle strain, but if I dont AGAIN lay low, it could flare the bursitis.
Thank you Lord. May Tim's diagnosis be the case, if it be your Will.
You think you're doing the right things but this "nerve" stuff is freaky!
Still hurts a lot, but if he's right, I'm not in as bad a situation as I feared! That is a good thing. Pain I can take... back to taking it low and slow. Gee, I didn't think I was doing anything else but that...but he showed me how weak that side really is! Yikes!
Thanks for the prayers! I'm claiming all the victory in Him and giving Him the praise that it's not worse...and you guys share in the credit for being there in jack time for me with your prayers!! Thank you!!!

Prayers sent up for you buddy. Hang in there. I know how the battles can be, but he allows us to win always.

Yeah, Galen and Charlie, you BOTH know about "keeping the faith" in the face of adversity.
My stuff pales to drivel in comparison. You've both taught me a lot.
Thanks for being there. As we all know when we're cut back in our activity due to health, we just seem to feel the world/clock/life stands still and we're not moving forward.
Thank you Lord for the reality that regardless of trials in this life, our true rewards are yet to come.
Amen

Thanks, Dave, that is a given from you that I cherish!
Service was hot, no A/C and packed church. Lots of testemonies. Lots of tears. Was amazing to see how Jim had changed from the years we ran together a lot, to his later life with a good wife behind him course-correcting his mischevious self.
He will be missed greatly. Be well Jim. The world misses you.
