I think the lesson Heavenly Father is trying to teach me is patience.  Patience with accepting that HIS time is the right time, and patience with my own body.  I had a pain pill two hours ago, and my pain level right now is so high that there are tears in my eyes. Either the pill didn't work, or my pain level has increased to the point that this is all the relief I can get. Movement is excruciatingly painful and slow.

We're going out today to Red Lobster, and I'm almost tempted not to go.  I know I'll kick myself later if I don't, and all my friends are going, so it should get my attention off my body for a while.

I think  my best bet right now is to pray a lot and keep very busy.
