Post-Rheumatologist & jewelry

in response to some requests--i thought i'd post a picture of the necklace i made at my last jewelry class! it got a little cut-off, and it looks cuter in person. But you get the idea!! I go again on Tuesday. then for the rheumatologist appointment update.

i saw the rheumatologist this afternoon. no more answers. he has put me on a new pain medication. and has requested that i do pool therapy, again, but more sessions this time, and more physical therapy, and that i return again in about 6 weeks to see him. he did inform me that i have hypermobility in my joints (which i suppose was helpful!), it's seen in about 10-15% of people. and i'm one of them!! so that was interesting. we went through all my medical history and family history. and he doesn't feel i have arthritis. which is good! it was just kind of frustrating, to go through another appointment with no answers, when the pain keeps getting worse. but in all my weakness, jesus is showing me his incredible strength! I love our King.

"Savior I come

Quiet my soul remember

Redemptions hill

Where Your blood was spilled

For my ransom

Everything I once held dear

I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross

Where Your love poured out

Bring me to my knees

Lord I lay me down

Rid me of myself

I belong to You

Lead me, lead me to the cross"
