Healing

Healing takes many forms and there are many things/events we as humans have to heal from.

I had to go to the doctor and get medication for something and the medications threw me for a loop  and I was very sleepy and tired for the first 48 hours on the medication. I can honestly say I slept the good part of 2 days away as my body starting healing thanks to the medication. I chose to drink lots of water and juice to help my body flush out the toxins and combat possible side effects.

 I felt guilty for sleeping most of the weekend away when my husband was home due to having the weekend off and apologized to him.  He knew I was hurting and my body was working on healing itself and he never fussed at me for sleeping or resting and that was a nice change from my past life experiences. 

I am reminded daily how blessed I am to have a kind husband who chooses to work 12 hour shifts and takes on overtime nearly any time he is offered or asked.  He is very mindful of providing for us as a couple.

We have our times where we bicker and we seem to disagree on every topic that comes up and we do work through it. Marriage is not easy and not for the faint of heart.  We both work hard to leave our past in the past and work towards better communication on a constant basis.

Most of you know that I have several health challenges and that sometimes I just have to cave in and shut out the world and rest until I get over what is going on.  Thank you for that grace and kindness!

I hate being seen as sick or ill or considered a burden to my husband.
The other night, after a particularly rough coughing spell, David came to check on me and the look on his face let me know he had been crying. He held my hand and said he was so angry that he could not help me get better (the COPD will never go away, only get worse). This broke my heart as I knew he was being sincere.

I pray you are healing and working toward getting better every day.
