Pain and Priesthood Power

It’s amazing how severe pain can just stop you in your tracks! Man, I’ve been wrestling with some pretty horrible pain, and have wondered when it would end. For eleven days, I was in the hospital while doctors tried to figure out why I was in so much pain. The long and short of it is that I had a staph infection in my blood, and it lodged in a muscle in my abdomen/left hip. The inflammation in the muscle caused my Sciatic Nerve to be pinched; thus, one weeping patient. I’ve been home on IV antibiotics, and am trying to heal. It is a very difficult and slow process, and I’m trying to stay up and positive. Oh, there are those times that I am overwhelmed and have had it, but I am trying to baby step my recovery. I had another priesthood blessing last night, which helped remind me that Father is near to help and speed recovery. I’m grateful for the real power of the priesthood of God.
