Encouragement

I started this blog because I love to read, research and write. I'm obsessive actually and so as my frustrations grew while I tried to find the answer to my pain I found posting to be a great outlet. Now, I'm so thankful to have this documented journey of healing.

Times are hard in so many ways this Holiday season. Being a realtor I see the fears and discouragement first hand. For those who are suffering pain in the midst of all we are hit with I just want to lift you up and encourage you today.

I know how painful and terrifying the diagnosis for FAI is not to mention the physical pain. There were days when I could not walk from my couch to the kitchen. It's been 7 months now since being diagnosed and I am so much better. My thoughts are no longer consumed with worry and doubt that I will recover. I know now worry and fear settle right into my hips. I know now that when I become stressed or overwhelmed with other things my hip pain returns with a fury.

Some days I still hurt, but I have learned not to worry about tomorrow. So, I encourage everyone to look for hope and trust in the power of healing and look forward to getting better. I have now learned to be thankful for this. I can honestly say it has been one of the most powerful things that has ever happened to me because it has taught me that I cannot fix everything myself. It has deepened my trust in prayer and taught me to walk by faith, because literally that was the only way I was gonna walk anyway, lol.

Now, I hope the medical community will continue to research and provide more experience and answers to this condition and the insurance companies will stop blowing off people who are truly in terrible pain.

Good luck to everyone in your search for healing. My prayers are with you.
