It is days like today where the meaning of difficult changes. Before today, difficult meant dealing with things like a couple of spots of skin cancer on a nose and recovery after surgery. It also meant dealing with the frustration of finding a good job in the IT field again. And then there are other aches and pains to deal with.
Today it changed a bit.
Our daughter decided she wanted to join the Marines just before last Christmas (2022). We sent her off on Dec. 19th, 2022 and in about 2 weeks she ended up with injuries of unknown severity. Initially she was told it was just a stress fracture in one foot. Over the weeks, she was in more pain and swelling so finally they did an MRI. It now appears that it is more severe than a stress fracture and both tibia's might also be affected. She went from simply being on crutches to a boot and a wheelchair. With only 5 minutes a week of phone time, it is difficult to get the full picture of what is going on.
So 'difficult' is having your child in pain, away from home and no one knowing what her medical outcome is going to be.
The best we can do is pray and ask for prayers from others.
God is always in control.. need to remember this more than daily.
I wish everyone a blessed day.
