I think there is improvement. It's hard to tell with the accidents that I've had, especially in my wheelchair. Let's put it this way - I need a new wheelchair.

I see two therapists tomorrow - one physical therapist and one occupational therapist. I questioned OT because I'm retired, but I didn't understand that was teaching you tricks to do what you want to in different ways (i.e. something as simple as putting your socks on can be difficult for me). I now have a plastic gizmo that makes it pretty easy. So, I'm just going to do what they tell me to and see what happens. Thanks for asking.

I have prayed for you, Tom, that the physical and occupational therapies will be of great benefit to you. My father had back troubles for many years and also took advantage of a few gadgets to ease things for him, such as something to help him slip his shoes on without having to bend over. It took years, but my father is now practically pain free all the time, as his problem slowly rectified itself without intervention by the docs. The doctors had hinted that this was a possibility and I am glad to say it happened for him. I realise that may not be possible for you, but I do pray that the pain you experience will be greatly lessened and kept under control so you can get about with ease and enjoy your day.

Thank you sincerely for the prayers. I think that I am some better. I think that the trick is to keep up on the exercises without hurting yourself or over-doing it.

That sounds very sensible, Tom. I hope you have had a good day.

The Physical Therapists will evaluate me today and see if I need any changes to my program. I trust them, so I'm ready to GRIN AND GET IT, even if it hurts.

You will have had the appointment by now so I trust that it went well and was not too painful. Continued prayers for you, Tom, and I hope that both types of therapy are of benefit.

Thanks for the prayers. Things are going pretty well and I'm making progress. Walking fairly well is my goal, and it looks like that's possible.

I guess that I said "cancer free" too soon. That's what the doctor said at the time of the procedure. They tested a sample, and it came back abnormal, so I go back into the hospital pretty quickly for biopsies - 9-26-2019. I don't know when I'll get the results, but I'm ready to get this over with. I would sincerely appreciate your prayers.

Praying that the biopsies are normal, and for God's guidance for the doctors in your medical treatment, Bro. Tom.

Thank you sincerely for your prayers. I'll be in the hospital this coming Thursday for the procedures.

I've only just seen this Tom, as I've not been online much this week, but I have remembered you in my prayers. Praying for you now; you've obviously had the biopsies and I'm praying for the outcome and for the Lord's peace for you. :pray: Bless you 'brother'.

I don't understand everything right now. I'm home and it was cancer. They removed it and said it was the type that needed any further action. Thanks sincerely for those who prayed for me. Are email notifications for new posts working?

I think I have worked out the problem for notifications,

Hit the 'unwatch thread' then hit the 'watch' thread and reset for email notifications, they give the option. :) let me know if it works.
