I woke up
Monday feeling fine until about mid day, then my legs began to bother me
again. I must have injured my back
lifting books or boxes while cleaning the garage. As the day progressed my left
leg began to be sorer. By the end of the
day I was in a lot of pain and unable to
get on and off the bed without great difficulty.
Even walking
to the bathroom became almost impossible, I would hold on to furniture and drag
my way across the floor as knife like pain ran through my leg. . I
took pain pills but they didn't too much
and Richard had to assist me to get up and down
Positioning myself on the bed so I could sleep was so difficult as I
could not put my leg out straight the pain was so awful. Through the night I
dozed on and off but would cry out in pain if I moved my leg.
During the
night I dozed off and woke covered and drenched in sweat. By Wednesday I began
to feel a little better and could walk but with difficulty. The pain remained so I made appointment with
the doctor who told me it was just sprained muscles (but I knew it was more
than that).
When the
Elders came to help Richard in the Yard on Thursday, I asked them to come back
a 8 pm and give me a Priesthood Blessing.
It was Elder
Haag and Elder ………(from Tahiti) that gave me a blessing assisted by Richard. . The moment Elder Haag placed his hand on my
head I felt this overwhelming quieting of peaceful warmth go through my body.
During the blessing the spirit felt so strong upon my mind and in my heart that
oceans of tears ran down my face. Truly
the spirit was with these men of God.
And I am grateful for that.
Today I’m a
lot better, but have much work to do to stretch and strengthen the injured
muscles; however, I know I will be better and I know more than ever that God
lives, and the Priesthood power exists on this earth today. For all of that I
am grateful; ever so very grateful.
