Feeling Grateful

Well...I am having computer issues yet again. My external hard drive where I keep my pictures has a virus. At least I assume it is a virus since each time I try to upload a picture from it it shuts down everything. Not sure yet what to do about it, but I will get it fixed soon...I hope!

On to other thoughts. I have been thinking lately have wonderful people are. I have been having problems with one of my hips for the last few months. It just has hurt when I walk. Sometimes a little bit, sometimes a lot. It reached an all time high on pain level on Sunday night however when I wasn't able to walk at all. It was so horrible and even pain medication wouldn't help it. Josh had to carry me to bed. That morning I was hurting just as badly and Josh had to cancel some of his morning appointments to help me get the boys off to school as I still couldn't walk. Luckily once we called the doctor he was able to get me in fairly soon.

We headed to the Dr.'s office and were told that I needed to get a CT Scan. I was so worried about what in the world I was going to do as Josh needed to be a work and I needed to be home when my kids got home from school (the appointment was going to take hours!) I called my wonderful friend and Visiting Teacher and she immediately made plans to take my kids after they got out of school and bring us dinner that night. I called my parents and my mom volunteered to come with me to the appointment (I was so grateful to have my mom with me!) and my Dad said he would watch McKay while I went to get the CT Scan.

I felt so much better with all of these wonderful people around me. I sometimes have a hard time asking for help, but can I say how much I appreciated these wonderful people!

While I was in my appointment (I had to be there forever as I had to drink some glowing iodine drink every 10 minutes...it tasted horrible!) I had another call while in my appointment of another wonderful friend who offered to bring us dinner that night and finding out that we had dinner, offered it for the next night. Oh my goodness I was overwhelmed with the wonderfulness of these people!

It was such a rough day as I had a shot, IV and blood drawn twice before my CT Scan. I was in so much pain the whole day and I just had so many wonderful people around me and it made it so much better to have my mom taking care of me and not worrying about my boys or Josh for dinner.

I was and am so humbled at the incredible people I am surrounded by. I am definitely blessed.

My hip is feeling better today, I still don't know what is wrong with it. Hopefully I get some answers soon...

...in the mean time thank you to all of the WONDERFUL friends and people that are around me. I love you all and am inspired by your charity and love.
