Hello Scribes,
Today I want to reintroduce you to Tirzha Moore who will share about her experience with unexpected back surgery. Tirzha now walks with a limp, but as she said, "I'll take a limp over back pain any day."
Now November brings both joy and sadness for me. I can't help but thank God for how far I have come.
I remember going to the doctor's office suffering with severe back pain. For a two year period I was given temporary fixes: physical therapy and several prescriptions for a diagnosis of sciatica. One Saturday evening the pain was unbearable and I ended up in the emergency room. I was put on an IV for more pain medications then I was sent home. (Another temporary fix to the problem). By Monday I was not able to walk or use the bathroom; I knew something was terribly wrong.
Back to the emergency room.
Since I had been there a few days prior the doctor on staff insisted on doing an MRI where it was discovered that the true issue of my pain was a herniated bulging disc! That discovery landed me in emergency surgery in less than twenty-four hours. There was no time to think or prepare my mind that I was about to be cut. There was no room for negotiation. I had no idea who the surgeon was and all I wanted was to meet the person who was about to take control of my body before I went under anesthesia. I wanted to touch his hands and pray that I would get through.
Before my surgery, my granddaughter was about to make a grand entrance into this world. Thankfully before going into the operating room I did receive the call that Little Ms. Carmen Elizabeth Ruth arrived healthy and strong.
#NowNovember16 I am approaching three years since my back surgery. I lost feeling in my right foot and I was told that it might not come back, but God. I have a limp but no back pain. I will take a limp over back pain any day. This year we will celebrate three years of life of Gram Tee's Baby.
The scar is a reminder that I've been healed...Peace & Blessings
#NowNovember we may walk with a limp, but we must remember we have been healed,
