Hiskidd In Your Thoughts...

Hey guys, just asking for some thoughts and prayers. I have my second MRI in as many years tomorrow night at 6pm. It finally got approved, and it comes at a good time as my pain levels have been horrible lately.

I FEEL myself talking myself into asking my pain doc to start the oxy again for some relief, especially on the really bad days. However, I KNOW that what I am going to tell him is to finally put me on the narcotic "ban" list. My primary care doctor already has me on that list for him.

Back to the "feeling," it's the whole "justifying" using for "quality of life." My oldest kid is 6, and my youngest (of 4) is about to be born in July. I hate what the pain does to my mind and motivation, and so the easiest rationalization is getting relief "for them."

Lies, lies, lies, right? I would appreciate your wisdom and affirmation as you have come through so many times in the past. Like we've all been - I'm sick of being sick. Hoping this MRI leads to something... something designed by the Divine would be nice :)

I love you all, and am thankful for you. It's like a cyber-cafe of empathetic love, wisdom, and most of all, non-judgmental grace. Got a long work week ahead, so I'll be checking in when I can, and more so on the weekend.

in Him,

David

Hi david
You are definitely one of my brothers in the Lord who are always on my list of prayers.I am really storming the heavens for your victory over addiction and pain. Keep on looking up. Yes you tell that doc to put you on the narcotic ban list you know you have to. Congrats on another blessing from the Lord the children are so precious in HIS sight. Is your quiver getting full? I hope and pray you are feeling better and continuing to rebuke satan and the powers of darkness against you and your family.
Your sister in the LORD
Debbie

Good luck David - and go easy on yourself and don't expect too much too soon.  If it means feeling low for a while longer, than so be it.  It's better than getting back on that horrible cycle of pain meds.  And remember to ask you Dr. about the non-narcotic stuff.  It's now your turn to save yourself from YOU.  And you can do this, you really can.  I'll continue to root for you!!  :)
