Josh and Keri

So lets just be honest shall well…..as this seems to be my motto for life. Life can suck even if you are Christian. I know a lot of you will say, “well Keri just have more faith.” or how bout “Keri, God has a plan for this. He will make you stronger or even help some one else.” And yes while these things may all be true…..it doesn’t mean life can’t suck.

For those of you have been following the story of my health, or have heard through some one else. I have been on a long journey for quite some time. I have severe chronic pain in my lower left abdomen from Endometriosis. I’ve had two surgeries to remove the Endo, and tried a variety of hormones to correct the problem. Unfortunately none of them have worked for me. Recently, I was given a Nerve Block by the Boston Pain Clinic and the first one back in March helped with the pain for about a month.

Last Wed. I went back to the Boston Pain Clinic for a second nerve block. However, the procedure was not as successful as the last time. There were several complications and I ended up in ER yesterday with chest pains from some of the medication they injected on Wed.

So once again, Josh and I feel as though we are at square one. Having to think about things that we should not have to deal with this early in life. We have two options and both are equally hard and have consequences that will effect the rest of our lives. We are not ready to be parents and yet we are not ready to give up the option of having kids of our own later in life.

So What Does God say to all this????????

Being a Christian does not mean life is perfect and nothing bad will ever happen to you. I think a lot of people get that perception of “Christians.” and I for one think it is sad. I am like everyone else, with my own set of problems, my own sins and terrible thoughts, and my own weaknesses. Just because I believe in an ALL Powerful God, does not mean I’m free from trouble. I wish sometimes that were true but not yet. he he he.

So where do we go from here. Who knows????? Any thoughts suggestions?
