Two weeks ago at work I noticed a bump on my leg that was hurting something fierce. when I went to look at it , my leg was really swelled and bruised, not remembering hitting it. I then went to tell my team leader, he filled out an accident form and asked if I wanted to go to the hospital. I looked at my leg and thought to myself, this is just a bruise and it will go away in a couple of days, do I really need to see a Doctor. my answer was no. I'd tough it out and just finish out the night.
The next day my leg was sore but not enough to go to the doctors I thought. I stupidly toughed it out for another week. when I took a trip to NY and while there (guess what happened) your right my leg started hurting again just a whole lot worse now, I didn't say anything to anyone while I was in NY, mainly because I didn't want to end up in a hospital there. so instead the "stupid manley mode" kicked in. I was going to tough it out til I got home and then If and only if I was hurting in the morning then I would go to the Doctors.
woke up around 7am that's really early for me , I don't get home from work til 3:15am from work. anyway I waited til I could call the doctor and made an appointment for 9:30am by now the swelling looked like a blood clot and it seemed to have had a little piece move up my leg.
The doctor sent me to have an ultra sound done right away. when I had the follow up visit he said that it wasn't as bad as we thought, although I do have to have blood work done in the morning and the next Tuesday I have an appointment to see a specialist.
I've been off of work and on different kinds of meds. I feel fine as long as I don't put any weight on my leg.
So Guys , don't think of yourselves as wimps if you are hurting, go and have it checked out, you could be hurting yourself worse if you wait or even if you ignor your pain.
Now for the brighter side of things...
I know without a doubt that the Lord is with me through what ever trials come my way.
Psalms 118:18 says: " The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death".
this could mean many different things, to me today, it's saying that the trials that I'm going through He is right here with me, all I have to do is call out to Him and He will hear me.
Psalms 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalms 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
Psalms has a lot of great scriptures that can answer many of your questions. pray and ask for wisdom and guidence when reading.
My "Life Verse" is Psalms 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart; I say, wait on the Lord.
wait on the Lord even if you think that he doesn't care, He does.
I know that He will deliver me from this trial, I must continue praising Him and trusting in Him.
Thank you Lord.
