“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Psalm 23:4 NIV
Many would let the news of today shatter them. I may have let it shatter me when I was weaker in my faith. I have personally learned that through every valley, God has been right by my side. I know that this time will be no different.
A few months ago I went in for a routine check. Due to my medical history, she wanted a blood density test done. Once the test came back the doctor referenced me to a Rheumatologist. I could not get into the one they wanted so I spent some time looking for one. I had to send them the referral. Two and half months I waited. Anxiety and giving it to God.
Today was that big appointment. I had Joshua go with me. The doctor asked me tons of questions. Then we talked about my results. The news was not what a 36 year old mom of two wants to hear. I have severe osteoporosis. Normal treatment options are not an option. She said they will not be effective. I need to grow back the bone I have loss. The two best options are both injections. Her top choice is a daily injection that I would take for two years. This is the choice we are opting to do. Now it is a waiting game to see how much insurance will cover.
