Thankful for Health by Beth Ann Farley
This year I am most thankful for my health.
It was in January 2013 that I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Nephrodic Syndrome and I thought I was going to be ill for the rest of my life. Here I am, ten months later with my recent lab work showing that all my kidney levels are going in the right direction. It has been a huge battle for me, causing me to leave my full time position at the library to part time. Going through a biopsy, many blood tests and continual urine tests, I am finally on the right track.
I am so thankful for family and friends that prayed for me and supported me through this difficult time. I mostly thankful for God for listening to my hearts cry and for wiping my tears away every painful day.
