I found this letter to family and friends in my files and thought I would share on my blog. Remember while reading this that I was only 25, I had been living on Guam for almost three years, and it was pre-Facebook!

Subject: PAIN and Blessings
Hi!
The subject is PAIN because for the last three days I've
been in terrible pain. Sunday morning I
was getting ready for church and went to pick up a shoe from the closet...You
remember the commercial "I've fallen and I can't get up!" I can now relate! As I went for the shoe, I was suddenly in
great pain, and I then I was on the floor.
Not sure what to do, and kind of scared, I somehow got to my bed. Realizing my deadbolt was locked (and knowing
my friends only had a key to the doorknob), I got up, slowly, of course, and
practically crawled to the door, then I got the phone, some ibuprofen, and
somehow managed to get back to my bed.
I tried to reach someone by phone, but, of course, everyone
was at church by then. Cristin and
Brenda eventually called, 2 1/2 hours later, and took me to the doctor. Well, they took me to the waiting room where
I waited for 2 more hours. The doctor
gave me plenty of drugs and I went home to sleep.
I took Monday off and went to the chiropractor, twice. Today I'm back at work, but still in a lot of
pain. I've already been into the
chiropractor this morning and am headed there again this afternoon. The chiropractor said my hip is out of place
and my spine is crooked. I'll be going
in for treatments a couple of times a week for a while.
Funny thing is that Charle', my coworker woke up this
morning in pain, as well. She's headed
to the chiropractor right now. We're
really messed up here.
The blessing in all of this is that going to the
chiropractor is free! Dr. Miller is a
Christian and gives free treatments to those is full time Christian
work/missionaries. I'm so
thankful!! The regular doctor only cost
me $4 with my insurance, and the pain/spasm medicine was $6.
Hopefully I'll be healed by the end of this week!
BEKAH
