Recently I've been reading a book by James P. Gills, M.D. The title is "God's Prescription for Healing."
"The prescription for all your healing has already been designed within you by your Creator - contained within a single microscopic cell. By faith you'll come to know His purpose for your life, your suffering, and your healing. The integration processes for healing within the body are your practical proof of the Creator's existence. His love and continuing concern for you are revealed in His amazing design for your healing."
This quote is taken from the cover of the book.
Through my illnesses I've often prayed that my life's purpose be revealed to me so I could get on with doing it! This has been a L O N G 22 months in my life. I'm currently in physical therapy (PT) for my knee revision surgery. Once you've had knee replacement surgery and the prosthesis has to be replaced, it is called knee revision. I contracted a staph infection in my right knee and it had to be cleaned of infection and a cement spacer inserted to "hold the space." 14 weeks I waited to have revision surgery. PT is very tiring as I'm weakened by the 2 surgeries on my right knee and chemotherapy to treat my pancreatic cancer
stage IV. The cancer is termed stable thus I could have my knee treated. I'm now up and about with a walker and/or walking cane. I can do most things, at least for short amounts of time. I get tired quickly and rest often.
Last Sunday at our church it was Senior Adult Sunday. Hampton was asked to speak on caregiving. He has learned a great deal about this subject recently! He's been an outstanding caregiver for me. I would no longer be here if it weren't for Hampton as I've been totally helpless numerous times.
I appreciate all the prayers and acts of kindness friends around the world have offered.
