Bummed

So I am REALLY bummed this week.

I have charcot, a diabetic related disease, and the whole of this year has been lost to fighting this problem.  Multiple times it appeared that I would lose my foot and leg - yet time and time again God would move against all logic to surmount whatever the problem.  ALL of my doctors are confused and in awe at this!  They slap each other on the back and are happy at the success but they do not understand that God is performing a miracle here.

Ahead of me in this journey has been a friend: James, whom chose to go the route of the pomegranate exit from this life.  The drugs they give you react poorly to pomegranate enzymes.  He never actually went any further than braces for taking pressure off of the foot!

The other was my cousin in Tennessee, about a year ahead of me in the process, I have been tracking with him, his doctors advice and my surgeon - so that I am doing NOTHING wrong.  I want to have the absolute best shot at overcoming and healing!  The rest is up to God ... and that is a great deal!

And cousin Barry's healing process failed over the weekend.  To have done everything I have, to have reached complete healing - and then BLAM! it begins all over again.  Oh Dear God, poor Barry.

The charcot process has begun to restart in the same foot on him!  Oh NO!  He was rushed to Duke University for emergency treatment and they are trying some new things on him to see if the process can be arrested and then reversed.  He is in terror, of course, that the last three years of his life are about to repeat themselves.

Please place him your prayers, he really needs it right now.

And I take this as a warning to Kris ... keep that nose clean (those carb levels LOW!) or you will have even more years of pain ahead of you!
