So i went to see the doctor today. I have a small break in a bone behind my big toe. So that is actually really good news. It is not a weight bearing point of my foot so there is nothing that really needs to be done. I will have more pain in that part of my foot now but i can rest easier knowing that i am not causing more problems.

Update on a broken toe…

The doctor appointment went well. He was not as concerned about what had happened. I am still able to walk so i am very thankful. Thanks for praying and I will write more details later.

Illness, sorrow, and despair while trusting God and asking Him why

I am frustrated because i cant see the doctor til tomorrow. My biggest fear right now is that i will have to have surgery to pin the toe. I seem to know when something is wrong that requires surgeries and i have that feeling right now. How many emotional beatings can i take? I feel so beaten down right now both physically and mentally. I think people can not fathom what I feel and cannot understand how a soul can feel so beaten after 5 years of relentless illness, sorrow, and despair. Right now I long for death to know that i am out of all this physical pain. I know God has a purpose in all that happens in my life and i am thankful that NOTHING happens in vain, but a human mind still wonders why. Well please be praying that God’s will is done.

A bloody mess leads to an ER visit

At 12:30 am on Saturday i took my boot off to find a lot of blood. My fourth toe on my left foot (which only has 4 toes) was all bent under my foot and bloody. I am not sue what happened but it can’t be good. I will find out more this week as i need to see my doctor soon.

Early morning update on music, healing, and uncertainty

I am wide awake at 2-ish in the am and I am relaxing to some random Billboard top 100 hits from the 80s-today on my iPod. Listening to music is a great way to clear my thoughts. So on that note here is how my foot is doing…….  I saw the doctor yesterday and I found out what will be happening over the next few months. First off let me say that the Bee Gees are some interesting listening at 2:30 am….. So the doctor gave me two options / scenarios which are as follows. 1) My foot may heal as is with out any extra surgery. This is unlikely by human standards since I have already given the foot 6 months to heal. BUT I know that God is able to do it and I am waiting on Him. 2) I will have surgery and the doctor will put screws and/or a rod into the ankle to help stabilize it. Since I have already had some of my foot bones fused together I have more stable bone in my foot than before this most recent surgery to anchor the screws to the foot. That is a good thing in any case. So that is what will be happening as soon as I figure out my insurance situation.  On the insurance front social security has received all the information about this recent set back and hopefully they will make a decision this week or next week. Please keep praying about that. So on that note I will leave this post listening to Run Around circa 1994 my sophomore year in high school! By now I am listen to the Charlie Daniel’s Band: The Devil Went Down to Georgia , fiddles rock!

A long road with my Lord through a valley of despair

So….. I went to the doctor today. Lets just say that everyone there was surprised to see me today. I had an appointment on tuesday and upon leaving then everything was looking great. Today is a new day indeed. After they were over the shock that my foot was moving the doctor tried to figure out what was happening to my foot. the first x-ray showed that everything looked great. Well that was a bit puzzling since I knew that my foot was moving. Next we did a different x-ray called a “stress x-ray” (from the hame you can infer that it is a tid bit painful) which was able to show that the fusion has indeed failed. On the positive side of things there is still a lot of fusion areas in my foot that are holding together. So the doctor but my foot in a cast and sent me home with instructions to keep an eye on everything.  So what’s next…… In about 2-4 weeks the doctor will look at the joint that has failed to see if it is refusing. The break is similar to gluing two pieces of wood together and after 5 min pulling them apart. If you act fast enough you can press the wood together and still bind them together. That is what they will attempt with my foot first. If that doesn’t work they will have to operate on my foot again possibly adding “hardware” and putting my foot in another halo. So PRAISE THE LORD I do not have to have an amputation at this point.  On a side note this current problem may help get my social security disability claim approved. So please be praying about that. I need disability so I can extend my cobra coverage. So much stress yet I know that my Lord is in control. This life I life is a long road I walk side by side with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!  Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.  Aaron
