Yet another trip

Today is the day I get to go to Nashville for the last injection into my spine! I have high hopes and great confidence in my doctor's ability but I have even greater trust in God to resolve this lingering health problem. My prayer is that after today, when I go back for the followup in a week or so that the doctor will tell me we're going to proceed with the next stage in the spinal repair - the surgery to fuse the degenerating parts of the spine into a solid, load bearing unit. I'm looking forward to being able to stand up and sit upright for long periods of time without devolving into masses of pain and retreating into a bottle of medication to remain functional! Yes, I do dread somewhat the trip and the procedure, but I welcome the outcome that beckons with so much promise. If you wouldn't mind - shoot a prayer heavenward for me sometime today. God is waiting to hear from you!
