Growing Strong

Cindy at Oak Alley, Louisiana

It’s been 12 days since Cindy’s last Dr. visit. Her back continues to grow strong. Her nerve pain in her leg is growing more quiet. It returns after long days and at random moments like a strong wind on a clear day, but it is slowly retreating and life seems to be returning.
I wrote on March 3, “Applying the same logic to Cindy’s pain, it appears that while the pain keeps returning, it returns at a lower value. If we plot the pain, the trend is that it is halving approximately every 14 days. If that trend continues, it will reach a “nominal” range in about 6 weeks. That means she still has lots of suffering, but with a glimmer of hope.”
The lots of suffering was correct. The diminished pain was also correct.

The accumulation of time, treatments, and tablets and the miracle of God’s healing has brought Cindy to this moment.

She is walking 2 miles a day, if not more. She has fully returned to work. She wears the bone stimulator every day for two hours. She is growing stronger every day, She is a champion.

Assuming the trends continue the next report will be in a few weeks.

Late night in Alexandria, LA trying to get in our steps before bed.

This possum came running out of the bushes and I saw Cindy move really fast.

This is the way Oak Alley looked, in 2021 before hurricane Ida ripped through the area.
It is going to take years before the “alley” is full and lush again. Cindy looks like she is going to do it in just a few months.
