Journal Entry:

My hip and leg pain seems to be getting worse. Yesterday I was in pain virtually all day. It becomes more bearable with pain medication but still it's there.

This morning we will go to Riverton to get another MRI... This time of my lower spine. Then I will be able to see Dr. Gordon on Wednesday. I'm totally mystified as to what's happening with me. I got just over six hours of sleep last night but was in pretty much unbearable pain by midnight. I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich and popped a couple of Advils and an arthritis strength Tylenol. So now it's five a.m. and I'm still in pain but it's bearable.

I tried to walk yesterday but couldn't make it very far. Maybe 15-20 minutes.

Come Follow Me 

Mosiah 18:8 and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light; 9 Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life—10 Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?

"Have I done any good in the world today?

Have I helped anyone in need?

Have I cheered up the sad and made someone feel glad?

If not, I have failed indeed.

Has anyone’s burden been lighter today

Because I was willing to share?

Have the sick and the weary been helped on their way?

When they needed my help was I there?"

Keep up the good work!
