Boojeee: hello from home (8/14/06)

Hi everyone! We made it to Huntington Beach last night. We're staying in a cute house about a mile from the beach. It doesn't have AC which is weird, but it doesn't really need it (we just leave the windows open and the highs are in the 70s here). Coming from Tucson it's very strange to live in a sunny locale without some kind of mechanical cooling.
Andrea's therapy starts tomorrow morning. We expect she'll be pretty sore in the afternoons, and REAL sore by the end of the week. But we're hopeful that God will use this to bring about substantial healing for her body and spirit. Thanks for all who are praying for us!

We have completed the first day of therapy and I did survive, though I wondered during parts of the day whether I would live to tell about it. The therapy is pretty painful during it but afterward I felt more free and mobile. They are so thorough in their assessment. I found out today that I am flat-footed and a lot of my back pain (and foot pain) is most likely from that. We worked on adhesians around the tube and the ovary....when they are stretched and broken, it feels like hot needle-like pricks everywhere in that area. Very strange. I am sore tonight but only to the touch in the regions where they worked a lot. We have been twice to the beach thus far to walk...part of my therapy. We swam today too in the 64F water. Very refreshing! I'll write later in the week...thanks for the prayers. We can feel and see the healing beginning already today after the 3rd hour.

We are praying for you in California. I am glad that it worked out for you to stay at Connie's home. -Adrienne Edit this response Write a response Email the author From: andrea Date: Thu Aug 17 07:20:07 MST 2006 Subject: Day 3 is completed An update... Day 1 was emotionally taxing; this became evident as the night wore on more and more. Past abuse issues came up with the therapy. Day 2 was much better as we spoke my needs to the therapists and they were very good about adjusting the therapy to meet my needs. Day 3 was really good but I walked out being so exhausted emotionally and physically that I felt beat up. We went for a short walk and just stayed around the house. My insides feel like someone has been socking me in the stomach for several days; in essense, this is what has been happening. We can see improvements already in the way my insides can move. We don't know if any of this will help with pregnancy but once the tubes are open, anything is possible I guess... We could use prayers regarding our relationship...before we came out here we were being tested and tried relationally and the same attack reared its ugly head yesterday. We know this is a ploy to devide us as we are in territory the enemy doesn't want us in...But God is bigger than the enemy. I just sometimes give up for a moment (yesterday) and listen to the lies of hopelesness. We are striving for freedom in Christ with all of this and He complete that journey is us. Thanks! Love ya all.... Edit this response Write a response Email the author
