Upright for the time being
I finally found a position where I can sit upright and not hurt so much. Yay for reclining computer chairs, ice bags, and throw pillows. [Doesn't paint a pretty picture, does it?] My back feels better than yesterday so far, but whatever the chiropractor did... nature must have undone rather quickly. Upon going to bed I noticed the small bulge in my lower back where the issue is, noticed the (un)natural curve in my back leaving me lopsided and one leg slightly longer [again]. I keep reminding myself why I have 2 Corinthians 12:9 tattooed on my ankle. His grace is sufficient.
He helps through this each time. However, in the core of my being I don't believe I'm meant to spend a lifetime like this. I have always believed that healing, whether divine or medicinal, is around the corner and I feel more certain that the time is coming soon. Please pray as I (we) have important decisions to make regarding seeking a possible surgical approach. The idea scares me senseless but so does a lifetime of unpredictable, crippling pain.
In the short term, I'm hoping to make it to New Year's Eve party at The Planck's tonight.
