Seeking Peace and Pursuing It!

Another Opinion – Another Look

Posted on February 17, 2011 by Theresa

I saw it.

I got to see the pictures. I have damage. I am like the desk you have always wanted, that has a big scratch. Still tempting but not worth as much.

I wonder sometimes what I am worth. Why bother?

OK–Enough of That!!

Next week I get to go back to the Doctor. I get to have my back checked this time. This appointment was for my neck. I start Physical Therapy in a couple of weeks.

I did get to see the strength I have. I realized that I actually have an exercise program. Hey World…Did you hear that…I, Theresa Trotter, have an “Exercise Program”. Who’d have ever thought?

I am actually feeling pretty optimistic. The upside of seeing the pictures of my neck, is I know there is something wrong. I have to say I have had my doubts recently.

I am kind of in hiding tonight. Dealing internally with the highs and lows of the last couple days. BTW my son, Ryan, turned 18 yesterday. As far as you My Friend in CT, someday the Grandmommy roll will be on me. May I please request that they wait a bit longer before procreating?

Another Opinion

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Theresa

Tomorrow I get to have another opinion given to me. An opinion as to whether I am defective physically enough to obtain the services of another doctor.

I really do feel like I am auditioning or trying out for something. There are answers to discover. I think I am a great candidate for any Doctor. I am an undiagnosed, no wait, diagnosed, no wait, “Let’s change that diagnosis” girl. Lots of symptoms and no answers, Who wouldn’t want to tackle the mystery?

Don’t misunderstand my comments. There is a big blessing involved with this appointment. I would love to get closer to a better way of life. I would love to find some help. I would love to live without all the medication. I would love to……..not be wondering if I need a cane sometimes.

I took a look back and found a post I did in February 2008. I was asking for prayer for an different doctor’s appointment. Almost exactly three years ago. I felt a pang of stagnetness, same place with lots of time passed. Then I read the verse I put in the original post. I then remembered no matter what…He is God and He is With Me.

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
- Isaiah 43:2-3

Today it Starts

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Theresa

18 Years Ago Today…
Eighteeen Years Ago Today…

He was Born.

My son turns 18 today. It is the First Step to his life. His life as an Adult.

When I sit here and think about it. It doesn’t matter if they move out or stay, work or go to school, join the military or refuse to grow up. In the end there is nothing they can do about turning eighteen.

Eighteen it is the line that once crossed, there is no turning back. Your an adult rather you want to be or not. Whether you act like one or not.

He will be leaving soon. In a little over 53 days.
He is going to train to be a soldier, and an Aviation Drive Line Specialist.

My Son decided to Join The Army.
