update twice in one day?

Two posts in one day? Sorry. I've learned that there has been some confusion about my health. I have decided to continue with the doctor in Ann Arbor who is a specialist in post-polio. I am going to return to Ann Arbor on October 20 for the final fitting of my new braces and see how I can maneauver in them. Later that same day, I will be having injections done in my back to ease the pain of the herniated disc and surrounding areas. Following that I will be starting therapy in Saginaw two to three times a week. I will be going on short-term disability. My post polio fatigue and weakness will probably be rationale for not returning to work at all, but I am not making that decision formally yet. My teaching load is very heavy this year with no sign of things getting easier with all of the new requirements. No Child Left Behind legislation quite frankly is leaving this teacher behind.
Daniel has been a wonderful husband understanding all of the ramifications of my health. Even though he doesn't always fold the clothes exactly as I do, I know of few husbands who would do all that he does for me, beside putting up with my tears that seem to flow so quickly and abundantly or for no reason except "I'm tired".
I am looking forward to getting some rest and taking some time to really feel better, not just to be able to 'get through' another day or another week.
The Lord is my shepherd and he is also leading in this area, proving restoration. (see previous blog)
