MRI - March 23rd

Tomorrow is my MRI at 9:30 am.

I finally went to my doctor's office today and said, "Look at what is happening with my swelling. The fluid is building up to my neck, which is visible, and I now have a frozen shoulder." I've been waiting almost two weeks.

By the afternoon it was scheduled. I hate that I have to get forceful. It shouldn't be.

When I found out it was scheduled I instantly began tearing up because I want Jim with me. Yet when you have been dealing with one thing after another for so long he can't continue to take the time off. It makes me sad. I told him earlier tonight I wish we were rich because he would be able to come with me. I hate how money controls things.

So I get to have my other wing man (I'm not sure you can technically have two). My cousin Kellie is taking me. She is so funny. She knows how nervous I get, let alone how claustrophobic, so she encouraged me to take drugs. Gotta love a nurse.

Please keep me in your prayers as I have not been able to lay flat for very long. I warned them and especially about my arm. They reassured me they would make me feel comfortable.

My memory verse for the 2nd half of March is John 16:33. No accident I'm memorizing it right now. I will give you it written in The Message: "I've told you all this so that trusting Me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I have conquered the world."

His peace...I need it so desperately!! I also want to know I'm having some victories. Less swelling, more movement, more feeling, and less pain. And the ability to type fast with one hand. I'm only hoping for a few things.
