The good news is I don’t have the flu! After a severe headache, and feeling really bad I went to the doctor. But I do have a severe sinus infection.
I really was so thankful to God no flu! My symptoms have been, sneezing, coughing, head aches, dizzyness, and generally feel lousy; not terrible but I don’t feel like doing anything.
After the nurse gave me a very sore rear end with an antibiotic shot and a steroid shot my head feels better! In fact I know why athletes take steroids! I was so tired and sleepy but the shot is already working!
Being allergic to dust is a culprit for sinus mess, but the meds I have been taking for the last year have worked since this is the only sinus infection I have had since last winter; and that my friends is a gift from God.
AMEN! The Lord is good. Will continue to pray for you. May the Lord bless your recovery.
for the first time i have been more afraid of the word, flu. maybe it is partially because I go to see my brother so much and facilities are always filled with germ bugs, and the other part is the fact that so many have it. don’t touch the center of door handles. use the elbows or grab above the worn marks on handles. use legs feet elbows, don’t touch anything, wipe carts down before using them. i have really become a ware of what people carry as we all must work and do not want to stay home when we are not feeling well and sick kids go to school. be so glad when spring is sprung
Terry, I hear your words and yes that is what happened to me. I was sick for years in my 40′s with debilitating menopause. I desperately needed a hysterectomy but my insurance refused to pay for it because I didn’t qualify. Excuse me I am dying here…this went on and on and on. I was sick 24/7. In and out of the doctors office, and I became very aware of the fear the enemy wraps around us with illness. I still deal with it but have learned the enemy ain’t so tough after all. My perspective of how happy I was I didn’t have the flu I jumped up and down in my doctor’s office and they all laughed! I feel like my head is going to explode, I can’t hear because my sinuses have blocked my ears, and I am now losing my voice. My husband likes that one. I feel really bad but knowing I didn’t have the flu? It was all in my head. (pun) The clinic hadn’t had any patient jumping up and down sick as a dog but praising God I didn’t have the flu!
It is a process and you are one tough lady Terry. I admire you immensely for how you love your brother and have fought for him. You do more for him than most people ever do for someone else. Betty Bolden is so sad right now having lost her mother. We text each other and I wrote her this and I will write it to you. Our Pastor said in church Sunday, “If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.” Laugh a little, relax a lot and keep your love flowing like you have been doing. Your day is coming my friend.
bless your heart. you don’t feel well and yet you encourage me. i love the refrigerator with the pic. i am sure I will be seeing you on there also. God is good, there is no reason to fear but we still need to keep our guard up against the germs of life!
Terry, I must admit I have not at all been like this in the past; I had to learn the art of giving thanks to God for even the smallest of gesture from him. It really works! Plus it has been a great blessing, not that I wish Heather McCoy wasn’t sick because I do believe in Divine Healing, but she is so impressive with her positive faith, it rubs off on people.
It may sound crazy to be thankful for a sinus infection but if it were the lesser of two evils especially with the flu rampant around here, honestly I immediately felt better! They were laughing at me at the clinic because I was praising God i didn’t have the flu! It helps that most that are in my clinic, especially the head doctor is a Christian.
So, this is a future blogpost that how we perceive one thing over another, may be the difference in our perspective over that which is really evil. There is such great truth in how we respond to life’s issues but getting there is often through tests and trials that we don’t want.
As for you my dear friend, I doubt you have any idea how much you are blessing others with your story. We have your back but God has it even more.
