I realized today that its been almost 4 weeks since my "procedure" in Denver. I have to admit, it is nothing like I thought it would be, I feel more like it was an invasion into my brain and my brain is still trying to figure out what went on! As Skip had posted, I am seeing some improvements and I am thankful for that. I'm not one to sit very well, so that has been difficult not to overdue. I am slowly learning to listen to my body.
I took a ride in the car on Sunday and that really seemed to aggravate the dizziness and the vertigo so that was a bit of a disappointment for me. Many of you are familiar with Ps. 23 ~ The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" ~ well I have to admit that I do want! I am a very independent person, so the fact that I can't drive myself anywhere let alone ride in the car is a "want". I "want" to be able to turn my head without feeling like I just got off a merry go round! I "want " not to have a headache most of the day! But, once again, God lifts my spirit with His word. He is my Shepherd, and a Shepherd takes care of all the needs of His flock, He even carries the one that is too week to walk (which is me!) And He says I shall not want, and if I think about it, He takes care of my needs and the wants are really insignificant. I believe He is teaching me to be content at the point He has me and depend on Him to supply what I really need. And He has, I have a husband who has been extremely patient (and is learning to do laundry and more), he has surrounded my with friends, family and Christian brothers and sister who continue to call, support, encourage and most of all lift me up in prayer. Thank you, thank you thank you!
"I shall not want"! He is my great Shepherd.
May you know His Blessings

Jeanne, still keeping you in prayer always. With each little set back (if you can call it that) I can see you are reminded how God watches over us so closely. As I read your post I was reminded of that praise song A Shield About Me". It comes from Psalm 3:3 " But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head." I love that verse it has given me lots of comfort on days that are tough for me. I hope it does the same for you. And Hallelujah! You've made it this far! :) Looking forward to seeing you soon. Angie
