Pain !
By Norm Seeley | February 6, 2010
For the last two to three weeks, I have been in a lot of pain. It’s centered in my right shoulder and right arm, and it sometimes radiates from there into my neck and down my right side to my hip. Not fun.
It takes effort to move my right arm to do things that are part of everyday life. And there are of course things that I, as a caregiver need to perform with my right arm. I have to work at it even harder than normal.
I have never thought of myself as a hero because I am a caregiver. I don’t now because it’s taking more effort on my part.
Why do I mention this here on my blog?
Do I want you to feel sorry for me and make comments to cheer me on, or comments on how I can overcome the pain?
No, those of course would be appreciated, but I am writing this to get it off my mind. I don’t need to think about this pain, I need to get it out of my thoughts.
One other thing you should know. About three days ago, when my body was hurting all over, I stopped and sitting alone on the bed, filled my head with a thought about how I love the Lord, and how I love Karen….quietly I sat there and seconds later the pain that had started in my right shoulder and arm was gone. I sat there and felt no pain.
Now, I still have pain, but I can control it simply by thinking what I explained above.
It works every time.
I’m a very simple man, with a very simple brain, and it’s hard for me to have more than one thought up there all the time. So if I think about other things, one at a time, the pain returns. When I fill my mind with my Love of God and Karen, it ends and I feel good again.
My life has been full of blessings, and I am so thankful for who I have been, what I have done, and where I’m now, and I know the future will be filled with more blessings.
