Who would have ever believe this would go on so long!!

The 2nd Steriod shot was short lived. I continued to live everyday in debilitating pain. Today I met with a surgeon. I will have surgery a week from tomorrow. He will clean out L4-L5 and FINALLY free the sciatic nerve and give me pain relief!! I am at peace with this. I know I can not live life the way I am now. I told the doctor "I have to get back to work!!"" and "I want my life back!" Please continue to pray for me. My journey is changing me, challenging me and making me assess what I thought was important. I have awakend to the realization of how much I took for granted. I know we don't find God in the good times. Sometimes we don't find God at night when you cry out to Him to help you. But I know God is helping me when he sents good faithfilled people to encourage and pray with me. I could see the Hand of God when the doctor walked into the room and said, "Hey I know you! YOU were the nurse when our last baby was born." God had a hand in this years before. He is the past , present and future. Okay God, I'm ready to move on with my life. Lets celebrate Christmas. The time of faith and hope. and than a few days later I will submit to faith and hope in spinal surgery! Let it happen!! I am ready !!
