Slow Road of Recovery

I think I'm finally on the road of recovery, but at a very slow pace.  Things have improved and seem to get a little better with each day.  I still have some discomfort and pain.  I still get tired easily and at times feel yucky but things are moving forward.  I had a CT scan today and it does show things less swollen, the ureter is not as swelled up in size as before and the kidney isn't as puffy either.  All that is good....it's good to be better...maybe not a 100% but better!  In the whole scheme of things, I'm feeling better compared to a few months ago and I have been on this road since the middle of October so I'm thankful.

I am frustrated at times because this slow pace does interfere with my day in and day out of life.  I get tired at times in the middle of the day and want a nap.  I can't go to Karlee's volley ball tournaments yet until I can sit all day long.  There are times sitting too long, or standing too long, or laying on my back or ride side becomes painful.  I haven't been working since October, and I'm not sure to what capacity I can go back on but I need to get back in the grind to some point.

I'm asking God for help with figuring out what to do about working and how the conversation might go when I go in to talk to them at work.  I continue to ask for my family to be patient with me while I continue to heal and to give me peace in knowing that God is working and things will be fine in time.

I'm so thankful for the many blessings that have come out of all this that has been going on.  God continues to show me how he can work in my messy life :)

My plan for now, will be to continue to rest and take things easy but still be productive and functioning in life and letting God handle all the rest.
