Another week has come and gone. I am still here and still posting my progress. I am doing OK and still have pain everyday. That is part of life and I can move ahead with that. I am going to see a doctor next week and have my right elbow checked. It has really started hurting more each day. I have a spot on it that is real sensitive to contact. I guess we will have to see what the doctor thinks about it. I guess I hit it pretty hard when I fell and the pain will not go away. I am hoping he can tell something about it. I am hoping it will not need surgery, but only he can tell me. I noticed that it seems to be larger in size than the other one. I really don't want to have it operated on if this is possible, but the pain is a real problem. I still have pain with my shoulders hurting when I reach for something and tend to forget this long enough to reach for something and feel the pain. My broken tailbone hurts a lot of times, but this I will have to live with. I have been told that this will be with me for a long, long time and may never go away. Hard chairs really hurt to sit in. I am not sure which hurts me more, my broken tailbone or my semi-fixed pelvic.
I had a comment to my last entry from some friends of ours here in town. Sallie told me that her, Scott and Noah are still reading and appreciate the fact that I am still adding to this BLOG. These kind of comments mean so much that people are still concerned with how I am doing and following my progress this way. I know many people read up on me here, so I will keep writing so everyone knows. I hear it so many times about my positive attitude on my pains and had someone tell me the other day that they noticed that I limp a lot less than I did a month ago. Another one of those comments that lift me up.
We went to Matt's soccer tryouts on Tuesday night and ran into a friend I have not seen in a while. His daughter used to play soccer with Breanna. I am not sure how long it has been, but he knew nothing about my accident. I told him my story as best I could and he said he was sorry from what I went through, but was so happy I am able to walk. Getting up and down the bleachers at the field still hurt me, but I go through it slowly and overcome the pain. Betty and I talked to a another Dad that has a girl that was friends with Megan. He knew what happened to me and was surprised I was moving at all. He is one of those great people in this world that is always so kind to people. If you did not know it, you would never guess he is a lawyer. He has such a great outlook on life and deals with things so well. He is one of those people that is good to be around. He coaches the soccer team above Matt's age group and said that if Matt does not make the team, he will try to bring him up. This would be great because Matt plays goalie best. Matt's coach's son also plays goalie so Matt never gets to play it with this team. So many parents have told us that he is a much better goalie than the other kid and wonder why we don't complain about it. What would this do other than make the coach upset at him? I say it would be a waste of effort on our part. We will deal with whatever decision is made.
Life is great and all we can hope for is good news from the doctor. Whatever he needs to do to make me better is something I will deal with. I am hoping I do not have to miss any work over this, but will deal with this decision and hope God knows what is best.
Love to all of you and thanks for putting up with my "complain" session. Send some love to God as he loves you, too.
