On the Mend

I felt sad when I looked at how long it’s been since I posted anything.  Not only have I missed it (and you), but it reminds me of how challenging the interim has been.

I’ve been sick.  About 3 years ago, I started getting ill without an understandable reason.  After many months and tests, the problem was linked to my thyroid malfunctioning.

After getting increasingly more tired and weaker, my thyroid increased in size so much that it started to impede swallowing and breathing.  I had surgery and had it removed last spring.

Since then, I’ve been poked like a pin cushion in an effort to regulate my body sans thyroid.  This has been very difficult as I’ve had trouble sleeping and been exhausted more often than not.

I am very thankful that it seems we’re finally in the ballpark of having it in the range of normal.  God is faithful!

I am slowly starting to feel more energized, and I hope to start writing more regularly again.

So what have I missed?  What challenges have you been facing recently, and how has God shown His faithfulness to you?
