It's been a very busy couple days. Yesterday was my day to finally go get my two cavities filled. I was so nervous about it because I haven't injected anything into my body for a very long time. I haven't even had a Tylenol or Advil in about three years so I had no idea how this was going to go. But, this wonderful natural dentist that I found was so amazing. First she gave me a numbing agent minus any epinephrine. I guess that's the stuff that keeps everything numb for a long time. So, luckily this dentist moves fast once everything is numbed up and ready to go. She was so understanding and compassionate, I just couldn't express enough how grateful I was. I've never been nervous about the dentist and actually rather enjoy it. But, these days, things are much different. The point is that my teeth are all fixed and everything is super healthy in that department. It feels good to have at least one part of my body working and like a huge load has been lifted from me.
Today I also got good news about my latest blood draw. I haven't had my blood checked in a year and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that things are still moving in a positive direction. My liver is functioning "normally" for the first time in over 18 months and that was really the only thing I was feeling anxious about. Some other things have improved and are closer to reaching the "normal" range, but not totally there yet. It's just more confirmation that healing can take a long time and you have to be patient. If I measure my healing in terms of years, then by next year everything should be within the "normal" range, including my cortisol levels, God willing :-). I truly do have to give God the glory for my healing. Having my church and friends praying for me and believing for my recovery has kept my faith intact and allowed God to do his work in my life. I don't always understand why some people are instantly healed and why some of us take longer. But, it doesn't matter to me. I believe both ways are still a miracle and I am grateful for this season of His healing in my life.
Thanks to everyone who has prayed for me and with me. Especially my husband. Without him I can't imagine where I would be. Going through all of this has shown me how blessed I am to have Bob in my life and I can't imagine anyone loving me more and taking better care of me than how he has. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world.
God is Good!
Blessings, Tanya
