I am not sure how to start this post. For one thing, it has been a long couple of weeks and some hard ones too. I've had some pain in my leg for a while now and when my mom took me in for an appointment with the doctor they sent me to the hospital in St.Paul two times. The second time I was in there for a couple of days. After having X-rays, MRI'S, blood tests, and couple other tests done they found out I had Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). I am not sure what it is and how it happens. But it is very painful and it makes my foot swollen and it changes colors. It is so painful that I can't walk on it and so now I have not moved my foot for a while. And if I don't move my foot or toes something serious can happen that I can't really explain either. So now I am home and my mom is doing therapy with me and I am on a few different medications that make me tired, nauseous and dizzy and they make my brain all fuzzy so I can't remember certain things. Even simple things. But while I have gone through this I have asked God why it happened to me and why this. I have always been very healthy. And now being on crutches and in pain and other people doing things for me makes me frustrated. Don't get me wrong, I am VERY grateful for my family and friends who have helped me in the last few weeks! But during this time I kept thinking I could do this or I can get better or I can get through therapy easily. But I have had to remind myself that I can't do things alone and defiantly without God. But I do know that "...I can do all things through him who gives me strength." And if it is His will I will get better and if it is not His will I know that this happened for a reason and that "...God works all things together for His glory."
Here is a picture of while I was in the hospital. I look kinda rough but I think everyone in the hospital would probably not look their greatest!!!!
