DEaton's Journal

Well after being off work for five days due to the TN and migraine pain (brought on at first by my fall then the strong dry Santa Ana winds), I am back. I had hoped that the worst was over  and that maybe just maybe I could go back to work with the "normal" day to day pain that comes with the territory. Wrong!

One of my main issues with all this is... I used to be able to blow things off (pain, cold, etc) and go to work and just plow through everything with a smile and when people asked how I was, without even a second thought I would say "great, and how are you?". Now its like I am so worn out with all the different pain (TN, TMJ, and migraines), I look at them and I can't even smile (cause sometimes when the pain is real bad that even hurts to do) and say with a cheerful voice "great, how are you?". I usually avoid telling them how I am and just ask "how are you?".

My prayer is that God would bring me to the point where even though my body is going through these things, I can through the Holy Spirit live each day despite the pain with a smile and a good word to those I come in contact with. I believe in my heart that God is just waiting for me to give the pain fully over to Him and answer this prayer. 

Blessings to all! D
