When I was three years old I had Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease in my left hip. My left hip was rebuilt when I was five. After two years of sporadic pain and difficulties walking my left hip failed on October 14th 2006. This is my blog of the journey I am going through to re-gain my health and again establish a normal, stable and healthy adult life.

Healing Prayer ...

Friday October 26th, 2007 at 12:36 pm

Hi.

It's Ron.

I am writing to ask if you would pray for God's healing touch on my hip. I have started taking a few steps for the first time since my surgery without using crutches. I am in a love - hate relationship with my hip right now. I did it. I was able to walk. In fact I walked across the bathroom floor today. (This is all of about 4', but is huge when I couldn't walk on my own a week ago)

The pain is really bad again. I didn't sleep well for the last two nights and I am really worn down and my emotions are a bit of a roller coaster right now. I am starting to find that the surgery was a lot more hard on me physically speaking than I had expected. I don't regret having my hip fixed ... This is the last major step I need to go through in order to be well and walk normal again.

My hip is almost strong enough now to start physiotherapy November 5th.

I guess what I am saying is please pray for the Lord's touch for me while I work my way through this. I am not asking to be taken from the situation.

This past year has come with a lot of heart surgery. God has been bringing me closer. I don't want to abort the process. I am just finding the pain really hard right now. I am afraid it is going to hurt really badly for a while.

Thanks for praying for me.

Ron
