Thankful for good health...
So now what? Mom's healed! But there were a couple of complications.....First, Mom was not terribly excited that she would continue here on earth, her temporary home. That just was not part of her plan. Secondly, because of the administration of morphine to make her comfortable, she was now a "druggie". Yep. We had a junkie on our hands.....The whole situation was not really funny. It was confusing and frightening to some extent. We had had a plan and had been following it for almost a year. Now what do we do? As Mom readjusted her thinking and her will to understand that the Lord had further plans for her life here, we began to help her through withdrawal from the drugs to which her body had grown accustomed. Neither was a simple matter. She was really disappointed that she didn't die that day at the hospital. We were exuberant. She, not so much.....She began immediately to search the Lord's face for understanding, acceptance and some idea of the direction He had planned for her now. Meanwhile, we began to help her detox, lessening the amount of morphine she was taking each day. She wanted off of it, NOW! She went through several physical issues as we moved forward. And her days were not so wonderful. However, with the other ailments she was now facing, shortness of breath or chest pains were not on the list. We spent the next 6 months or so assisting her as she regained her health. Good days, bad days, finally more good days than bad. Now she is walking the neighborhood, feeling great, sleeping well (mostly), has her appetite back (even her love for chocolate). It's amazing. Her health is better than it has been for years. But now that she's not moving to heaven, what should her next step be? Apparently, the first step would be to put the house up for sale.....
