Road to Recovery
Well, two months ago I got into a car accident. Nothing bad. I got hit from behind, the bumper on our car was hanging a little bit. This happened the week of the Women's Conference. I felt fine, until the first night of the Women's Conference. Now I've experienced migraines in my life, but nothing like this before. I was in tremendous pain. The next day I was fine, though. I went two weeks with a little discomfort, nothing I couldn't live with. But then, oh my goodness. I had to go to the doctor! It hurting, or pain just hit me. So for the past month and a half I've been seeing a Chiroprator. And then for the past month I've also been seeing a Physical Therapist. Two times a week for both of them. I've had to take a season off of the praise team. I couldn't stand that long, too painful! But Praise God, for the past two weeks, my back has been feeling much better. And my doctors are starting to see me only once a week starting next week. My back is feeling SO much better. When I started going to the doctor's, they said no exercising! I was only allowed to swim. So I've gotten an okay tan this summer. But next week, I'm allowed to go back. They want to see if my back is truly better, before they start thinking about releasing me. I'll probably start back on the praise team again in October! Hopefully.
These past two months have been frustrating, though. It's hard not being about to do the things that you've always been able to do. I could only do a little bit of cleaning, and then I had to take a break! I was getting nowhere, fast. I couldn't even carry a gallon of milk! My back would flame up! But yesterday, out of necessity...I had company come over for lunch, I was able to clean my whole house! No problems during, after, and even later. Even today, I'm still feeling normal!
When I found out that I couldn't do ANY kid of exercising...I started to feel really sad and sorry for people that got into bad accidents. Because I didn't think that mine was bad at all. And here I was in pain and wasn't allowed to do anything! Surely others have experienced worse! For something I didn't think was bad, surely turned out to be a trial.
Anyway, I'm happy to be back in the saddle again! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's faces from the stage again.
