Gratituesday

I am so thankful for God's healing hand on our bodies. Last year at this time I was recovering from back surgery. Going into the surgery my doctor told me not to get my hopes up for a full recovery. I had a broken vertebrae low in my back that had been pinching off the nerves in my legs. My doctor was unsure if the feeling would come back to my feet. I could still walk but my feet had numb spots in them. I was in horrible pain all the time.

Although the recovery was very painful, I spent more time reading the Bible and praying than I ever had. The Lord gave me comfort each and everyday. One year later...I only have some tingles in my feet at the end of the day. I have full movement in my back with NO pain!! That in itself is such a blessing to me. Thank you Lord for healing my body.

I am glad you are feeling better.

Jen,

Thank you so much for visiting my blog.

AND God is good! He must have sent me to your blog for a reason.

I m 25 yo and I just came from the chiropractor. He says I have the back of a 70 yo. I have a broken vertebrae that is doing the same thing as well as a bulging disk and pulled vertebraes in my neck. I will be walking and all of the sudden my left side will go numb (totally not just the normal tingling numbnes) and I will fall. It is totally embarassing! He has been trying therapy but thinks that surgery is the ultimately the only option.

It really scares me! I have never heard of a successful back surgery. I am so glad I found your blog and I am now a follower!

God Bless You!
Jodi
