A Verse to Live by

"No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength;
but with the trial he will also
provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it."
1 Cor 10:13

Something Else to Add to the List

For the last two weeks I've been waking up in the morning with numbness in the little and ring fingers on my right hand. I thought maybe I was just sleeping wrong on my arm, but yesterday Doc Lustberg said "no, sounds like early symptoms of lymphedema." She quickly added  the symptoms didn't mean what I was experiencing would culminate in lymphedema. To avoid that from occurring she recommended physical therapy. So, that's what I did today. Therapist gave me exercises to do that will improve the flow of lymphathic fluid, help repair some soft tissue damage in my right shoulder, and strengthen upper back muscles.

I hate exercise, but this is more like medical prescription, right? Guess I'll take my medicine.
