Therapy Thursday

I am having therapy for the last time on my hands and jaws today. I am glad that is coming to a close even though I have enjoyed getting to know some really nice people at the clinic. I still have to exercise my hands and jaws 2 or 3 times a day for some time to come. I am much better but it will take some months to get to 80 or 90 percent. I will never be like I was before the accident. I went to my eye surgeon Monday and she was very pleased with the outcome and said she didn't think I would need any more surgery. I can see pretty good. I still have double vision if I look very far up or side to side but that is OK. I can deal with that. My hand doctor dismissed me yesterday.

The things that I have been through have been life changing and I do now wish that on anyone. I have gained much strength through all of it and have grown some patience. I have learned to be content in all things, well almost all things. I have learned to evaluate everything that I do now and think is there any danger here and could I get hurt. I do things much more carefully now. I was hurt cutting corners. DON'T DO IT. Do it the safe way. I am left with a numb face, hands that hurt a lot, have limited use and an eye that is less than perfect. I still have to go through the teeth process too.

I am not complaining. I am still very thankful for the recovery that I have had thus far and for God looking over me. I am told very often that I was saved from the fall to do something. God is not through with you. I hear that a lot. I believe it too. I asked God OK what is it that you want of me. It was a long time before the answer came to me but it did. He said all I want is for you to tell everyone you come in contact with who I am and what I did for you. I have tried to do that with people. I do it through this blog which is a very good tool. I do appreciate all who read this and hope I bless someone each time I write. Thanks for all your prayers. Larry
