I prayed. . “I said God, I need to walk and talk and be productive or I need to clean cabins in Glory. Have mercy on me and make a change in my life.”
Molinda Goforth
My faith was so weak, I presented the two choices. Following the prayer something bad happened. I thought my assignment may be to clean those cabins.
In November of 2019 I became very ill. I went to Urgent Care described my feelings and gave a suggestion for my health. The NP disagreed, ordered a cat scan, antibiotics and a follow up visit in 3 days…..(Interesting Christ arose on the third day)
After 3 days, I felt better and kept my appointment and told her what I needed next. She disagreed, prescribed more antibiotics, a bland diet, no stress and several visits to other doctors. In addition to the other Doctors, she wanted me to return in 3 weeks for a follow up cat scan. Now, visits to other Doctors definitely were not on my radar.
I did go for the second cat scan. The results were much improved.
The last week of December I returned to the NP. She shared her suggestions…none were acceptable. I asked for physical therapy to enable me to move, walk and stand better. She wrote a prescription.
Results
I was blessed to choose the best Therapist ever. Twice each week for 6 weeks I went for a treatment. We documented my progress. Improvement is in the 70 percent range!
It is so exciting to share these results with you. Why did it take so long to discover this route? I don’t know. Each year the surgeon said I must have another surgery. I guess I fully believed him and did not look for any other option.
My early morning routine includes a 30 minute work out Prescribed by the physical therapist. When making changes in your personal life, I believe you should start with Health. This is where I started. It’s an ongoing process and I am thankful for the beginnings. Let’s
Good Morning to you and thank you for traveling this journey with me!
It’s February 10th, I have Physical Therapy at 10:45.
If only, I had not been so doubtful and so ashamed of my inability to walk, climb stairs or stand for more than 10 minutes, I would have filmed myself in action!
Progress includes the fact I can get into my son’s new truck.
Wednesday, I will film some of my activities. Look for them Monday.
As a result of the past 6 weeks in therapy, I have a new pair of comfortable tennis shoes. This summer I will wear some cute, beautiful and “love to be me”, dressy shoes.
Just for fun, here is a picture of my new shoes! These shoes feature a reinforced guard around the heel for extra ankle support.
A Shoe That Works!
The gentleman at Time Out Sports in Billings introduced me to these shoes. I highly recommend this store.
Remember my post of I wore the wrong shoes? The job rejection, his comment about my shoes really hurt and gradually led to the thinking, I can change this.
Wednesday includes another therapy session…..it’s getting close to the last. Next, comes a required membership at a local gym. How do you chose a gym?
