Hello my WOF brothers and sisters,
I am going to be brutally honest with you here. I am struggling. Of course I still believe in God, of course I still have faith, of course I still believe the Word is true, of course I know, I know, I know what I know, but............
I am in need of two more surgeries. :o
Since I retired from the USMC in 2004 I've had:
2004 9.5 hr back fusion surgery (L5-S1)
2007 arthroscopic surgery in my left knee
2010 rotator cuff surgery and reattachment of my bicep tendon
2013 arthroscopic surgery in my right knee (Oct 1, 2013)
2013 full knee replacement surgery in my left knee (Nov 25, 2013)
My neck is in much pain; I've already had three outpatient procedures to alleviate the pain - to no avail. Next Friday I go in for a facet joint branch block procedure. They are telling me I will need fusion surgery soon on my neck.
The left side of my face is completely numb, as if I've had a novacaine shot. We've had every neurological test known to man done and they come up with ZIPPO - "we don't know what's wrong".
Three weeks ago, my right knee ripped apart while demo-ing some equipment and I now am scheduled for full knee replacement in my right knee.
I believe!!!! I fully believe I am healed of the Lord - but that "common unbelief" as Wommack calls it - reality and circumstances staring me in the face are hard to overcome. I know God can use doctors and medicine, but to tell the truth I am VERY ANGRY about this and the enemy coming against me.
Add to this, my wife has had two surgeries on her left knee and has been told she is now bone-on-bone and she, too, needs a full knee replacement.
We are only in our mid-50s and feel like 90+ year old decrepits. We have always been very active, almost pro-athlete level energetic people. This is so crippling, so confining.
We keep trying to figure out what we've done wrong. We've come under authority, we've prayed in agreement (with many faith-filled folks), we've done all we know to do but something is wrong somewhere.
Short of creative miracles we are in much need.
Advice, prayer, love appreciated.
Dave
