Today’s journal entry may come across as harsh and blunt. I don’t mean to be harsh but I can’t excuse the bluntness of it. You know that inner drill sergeant I talk about from time to time? Well that’s the one who wrote this.
So brace yourself, because my inner drill sergeant doesn’t dance around things like the rest of me does 🙂
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My life right now is like an elaborate game of hot lava. Scooting around from bed to wheelchair, my feet never touching the ground, my legs never standing, If you were to watch me half the time you’d laugh and the other half you’d likely feel pity.

Christy: I live in the panhandle of Idaho, a now retired logger. Irelate with you. In 1997 i rolled a riding lawnmower off of an embankment. I lost three fingers off of my right hand and got a knee cap chopped. I spent eleven days in the trauma center hospital in Seattle and three months in rehab. While in the hospital i kept hearing,” He’s in good spirits., i asked if in the big city if something like this happens do they say awww i won’t be able to do anything any more? I told them you can’t get a north Idaho logger down. After reading your experience i am thankful that i had one leg that still functioned. At the rehab center when it was OK for me to be up and around i would go out and walk a mile on crutches every day. Exercise.
I pray that you have had a complete recovery without any complications.
I have been blessed with a complete recovery Ed, other than an occasional ache here and there, I am wonderful!! What about you? Before I even know the answer I am betting you are pretty darn good!
I discovered you today through a Facebook posting that included a link to your Butter Roll Dessert. I think it was the hand of God bringing me to your message at exactly the right time. Christy, I am so sorry for what you are enduring right now, but you have made me laugh and cry in the last hour and I needed both. Thanks for loaning me your inner drill sergeant. I will be back often and will be sharing your message with my Facebook game-playing friends. Most seem to be home bound or dealing with chronic illnesses like I am. We all needed to hear what you are saying. Thank you!
Christy, I cannot even begin to tell you what a blessing you are and have been to me and others . Even through this painful experience, you are still the same sweet Christian girl whose faith and trust in our Lord makes my heart’s song of praise to Him sing even louder and I am so thankful that you know that he is holding your hand and is bringing you triumphantly through this with your own song of praise singing in your heart !
You have my prayers and love. God bless and keep you and yours.
