My worst fear is starting to happen because I am having trouble walking now. My left leg that I call, ‘Sylvester ‘has now refused to carry my weight when I am walking. I don’t trust it to take me places and it is now giving me extreme leg pain throughout the night and day.

What am I going to do now? I went walking on my trail and it was so bad! I am taking baby steps instead of larger strides. What comes to mind is the saying “If you don’t use it, you will lose it!”

Have I lost it now? I will keep at it and pray that it will start to improve shortly. In our prayer group, we pray for people who need his help in times of crisis.  I told them that I would need his strength to handle it if this doesn’t happen. I haven’t been writing much because the struggle to walk has consumed me.

Recently I fell in my bedroom and was unable to get up until my son pulled me up. I believe that I bruised my hip. I decided to go to water therapy even though I went in a wheelchair. It was very helpful because it allows me to move my hip and legs without pain.

I am not sure of what will happen next, but I am determined to get better. I will take each day as it comes and use my faith to guide me during this struggle.
