Stress doesn't even seem to be a big enough word for what I have been feeling lately. Terror might be closer...
Today was my husband's last day of work at what was his current job. The company did a massive layoff and he was affected by it. He was the carrier of our insurance so who knows how that is going to work. We are going to try to pay into Cobra but of course that is really expensive.
I will be having my gallbladder out in a little over a week. I am hopeful that this will help with a lot of the digestive issues that I have been experiencing lately. At the very least I hope it helps with the pain. I will be off for almost a week following the surgery. It will be nice to get some rest at least.
I had a follow-up MRI last Friday and got the results yesterday. The brain area was good with no new lesions and no active lesions. I have an active lesion on my spinal cord around the C4 area. No lesions in my thorasic area but I do have some arthritis and some misaligned vertebrae at T6-T7. That explains why I have pain in the middle area of my back.
My toe has healed though I have some lingering pain occasionally when I go to bend it.
Our honeymoon in Arkansas was amazing and a lot of fun. It rained on us most of the time we were there but it was still beautiful in the mountains. Our favorite activity was going to see the big cats at the Turpentine sanctuary where they rescue big cats who have not been taken care of by their owners. It was neat to be so close to lions, tigers, bears, cougars, bobcats, black panthers, leopards, and white tigers. I had to wear the boot on our honeymoon because my toe hadn't healed up yet but it wasn't too bad. The boot plus all the rain did make me slip a few times but I never fell thank goodness.
We are now trying to get ready for Christmas. Finding the money for this Christmas is going to be a little more difficult I think. But it will all work out. Because, Romans 8:28 - just gotta remember it!
