LOL With God

I went to my first Vestibular Therapy (vertigo) appointment this morning -- which had been delayed for close to a month now for one reason or the other. For instance, I had a hair appointment (first things first), the physical therapy place directed me to the wrong office, where they don't do VT, my appointment there 'vanished' from their records, they didn't have the Rx from the ENT. But I finally got there - this morning. I was told Elaine would be working on me, and she was great.

But when I got there this morning, I met with a male therapist. Wait... they said Elaine was great, what if this guy isn't great. What if he isn't even good. This isn't just a few leg raises and 10 minutes on the bicycle. This is where they twist your head around and make your eyes roll around in their sockets. Elaine knows what she's doing.

He tells me he's going to assess my vertigo before I start on the regular PT (the stuff I've been doing at the other office for my low back and hip pain). He's going to assess me?? I was counting on Elaine doing that - because she's good! I tell him I've had it for about 10 years, that it went away about a year or so ago, but then it came back last fall when I went to a conference and after I did some brain exercise thingy hanging my head over the side of the bed.... BUT, let me add one more thing Mr. Physical Therapist Guy, ummm, well, almost two weeks ago you see, I was healed - I believe in that. Now I was waiting for his eyes to roll around in his head. They didn't; he just said, "OK". I go on, so see, I can look up now (see, watch me). I couldn't do that before two weeks ago. He asked if I had any symptoms now. I told him I hadn't for about a week and a half, but then a few days ago a few of them started to come back, but I've been saying, "No!", and it's still way better than it was. I told him, spiritually I didn't understand that, but...

When I finished my hip/back exercises, Mr. PT Guy comes back and he tells me to stand up. He says though I was healed, he can see by the way I hold myself that it is causing the vertigo that remains by putting stress on my back, neck and head -- or something like that. He told me to sit in a chair and he began to work on my neck. He said he's been doing this for 25 years. I wondered if that was more than Elaine had been doing it.

While he was working on my neck, we talked a little. He hangs out at some of the same places I hang out, and listens to some of the same people I listen to. He talked about blending faith and physical therapy. He talked about PT's putting their hands on their patients being rare these days. I laughed a little - out loud - even though nothing was funny. I'm going back tomorrow.

I have to laugh out loud when I think about God and the stuff He does. A few delays in scheduling, a healing, and a physical therapist helping out for a couple of weeks. I am so crazy about you Daddy God!!! Thank you again.     ----Your favorite, Connie
