July Woes 2012

My July 2012 was filled with health issues...

Sore spot on old c-section scar.

Tenderness all over

Bloating

Fatigue

Vertigo

Abnormal PAP results

Praying

Ultrasound

Transvaginal scope

Lumps, bumps, bruising and more

Masses vs. cysts

Cancer scare

Sleepless nights

Medications

Pain days

Drama

A few pounds heavy

Tenderness at the waistband

Fibromyalgia hot spots

Gluten issues

July ended with a praise report...

No cancer

Still the tender body issues

Now the medical bills issues

Always the praise.

For it wasn't this ~ It would be something else.

I'll take this.

Thank you, Lord.

Overwhelmed

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with what I WANT to do vs. what I am able to do.

For instance:

There are days when I want to get the housework done and I can't.
There are days when I want to be in the garden and I can't.
There are days when I want to be at the computer and I can't.

I need to focus on what I can do...

I can give words of encouragement.
I can show my family that I love them.
I can direct my household from the couch.
I can talk on the phone while resting.
I can share a movie with my kids while on the couch resting.
I can read lots of books on those days when I need extra rest.
I can always pray, resting or not.
I can rest and enjoy the breezes that gently blow through my living room windows.
I can enjoy my time homeschooling my guys.
I can sit and enjoy the ride, while someone else drives us to the beach.

I have more CAN-do's than CAN'T-do's.

Endometriosis

Cycle is not too bad so far. 

Praying that I'm 'back on track' after all of the emotional turmoil I've been thru this year.

That would be wonderful!
