Sick.

I guess sometimes in lofe you have to just SHUT UP and listen when he talks.

This last couple of weeks has been one of those times.

2 Mondays ago, I went into the hospital...
with kidney stones.

Horrible.
hateful.
sickening.
kidney stones.

I am not sure if I have ever been in as much pain....

Well...I can think of 4 other times.

Zeek.
Shashamane
Malachi
Sheba

But at least at the end of labor...you get a prize.

with
Kidney stones...nothing.

Just pain and INTERUPTION in your life.

I was in bed for 2 weeks.

14 days.
Countless TV shows.
Magazines(thanks Shainee)
all meals in bed...
and hardly any school-except what they got from Daddy.

It has been UNEXPECTED INTERUPTION.

It has been a FORCED relaxation period.

A lesson in listening and patience.

As I have laid in bed the last 14 days...I have had to relenquish all control....
Give up all expectations....
I have had to really SIT BACK and relax.

I am prayerful that when this is all over I will be BACK.

I am prayerful that this is the LAST BIT of my illness over the last year.

It has been a hard year ...health wise.

I am repeating:

"God wouldn't bring me TO IT, If I couldn't get THRU IT!"

I so feel for you girl! I've had kidney stones & had to have a stint for a while. It does hurt. Praying you get relief soon! Give it up for awesome hubbies : )

I agree, kidney stones are the worst. I really think they are harder than childbirth, but then it's been a while for me. So glad that you are doing better.
Been keeping up through your Dad.
Love you so much, Mema
