That was the bad news. But the good news is that....it went away! Over a 6 month period, I regained most of the feeling on my left side. I was left with a limp and a bumb left hand. I can't hold anything small in that hand. But I can lift bigger things and I can move it!Then in about another 6 months I regained my regular walk....suddenly! One day I woke up and all of a sudden, my leg worked!
I'm telling you all this so that you won't give up!!! I'm telling you that as suddenly as it came on it can leave!
My best advice for you is this:
1- Take this as a learning experience! Just look around you! There is something to learn in every situation that you are in. Life is a big class room! This is like a test for you. Not for the teacher to learn what you need to work, but for you to learn what you need to work on!
If you see that you don't have much patience, then by all means, work on that! If you see that you have a problem with depression, then by all means, work on that!
Don't let this valley get you down! But use it to get to the next step! There is a story I heard from Joyce Meyer about a mule:
There was an old mule. His master was outside one day and saw the old mule fall into a deep well. The mule just cried out...scared and fearful! The old man didn't know what to do. There was no way to get him out. So, the owner reluctantly decided that the best thing to do was not to let him go thru the pain of starving to death. So, he got a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well - to bury him...alive. But the mule refused to die that way. Everytime the dirt was shoveled into the well onto his back, HE'D SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! It wasn't long till he got to the top and just stepped out of the well!
The point, don't let this get you down! shake it off and step up!
and #2 - get ready for an "and suddenly"
Another thing that helped me, if you are interested....God! Praying to Him. I talk to Him all the time...He's my Best Friend! I talk to Him about the good things and the bad. If you are interested....give Him a try! :O)
Well, I wasn't intending on this being long. But... it was...lol.
God bless you bri2336! Hang in there! It will get better! Just wait for it! :O)
