Howdy,
Update on my health:
The bible says “The Lord Gives Us Strength For Today”, I try to remember I just need to enjoy the day as best as I can as things could have been way worse than they are, heck I could have died very easily. I will forever be grateful to Jesus for letting me live and keep my most precious legs and brain, GOD is indeed amazing as my body survived what can only be called a miracle. I am indeed grateful for the medical team of doctors that worked on my body and continues to support me as I learn to live with the physical disabilities and life long pain the motor vehicle accident created.
The weather is a huge factor for me as the screws in my pelvis do not like cold and damp weather, perhaps one day GOD will provide a place for us to live with less rain and not so darn cold. The last two months have been record breakers for lack of rain in Western Washington, fall is here as the mornings and nights are getting colder again causing the deep hip pain to return oh how I did not miss this pain.
I continue to endure rib pain, hip pain, neuropathy in my feet, back pain, middle, lower and upper as well my pelvis does not move with the screws in it as it should. I wear shoes called Joya to help walk on cement but still stairs and cement are my biggest challenge. Walking is indeed one of my most difficult challenges along with sitting I really need the pelvis elevated for the best relief.
Remember to stay grateful for everything in your life as someone in the world has it worse off than us. Our life is fragile and precious and we should never ever take any of it for granted as we never know when our time is up, our health is the most important thing we can own. If you have your health you are indeed blessed.
I thank you for continuing to pray for me and my family, I pray my story has helped you stay motivated and inspired to trust GOD in Jesus Christ precious name for all things. GOD is amazing!
GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

You are such an inspiration, Melody. The Bible also says “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.” Stay blessed, dear one.

We must be grateful for what we have it is the most important lesson. I pray GOD blesses you too in this most fragile thing we call life. I have learned the hard way life can change in a matter of seconds and we can never go back to the way it was before. Each day is a gift from GOD and our health is the most precious gift of all. Thank you for reading my blog and thank you for taking a moment to comment

Physical Therapy is most important in helping the person regain their former life back before the trauma hit. I am excited for you as you are going to have a great career helping people
