Faith is something you can't see but you must believe in and trust that
God is with you. My faith has really been tested this week. First off
on Monday my Grandma was admitted into the hospital, because her right
leg/hip has a spur that is being touched by a nerve. This was caused
because her back alignment is out of place. Also her left leg was
fractured about a month ago, and it's healing up good. But she was in
so much pain Monday that I had to help my Grandpa admit her in the
Hospital right in the middle of all faculty/staff at work coming online
on our new system. If you can't rely on God in these situations than
there is nothing else that matters.
They moved her over to physical therapy yesterday to see if that will
help, if not than the alternative is to have surgery to remove the
spur. Which isn't good because she's 85 years old. Well last night
she was trying to get out of bed, and the nurse didn't put the bed rail
up so she fell out and completely broke her wrist. This happened at
1am I went up and stayed till 5am. They had to reset her wrist and
cast her arm so this might delay the physical therapy. I owe a lot to
my Grandma because she paid for my first year of college, when I was
trying to save enough money to go. She didn't want me to wait to long
to go because she was afraid I'd change my mind. She's always been a
hard worker and an inspiration to me, and I would do anything for her.
With little sleep I started running at about 9am this morning
(yes on about 4 hours sleep). I ran 16.5 miles at a 7:13 in 1:59 on a
very hilly course. My stomach was sick the whole way and I wanted to
vomit the whole time. It caught me everyone else in the family was
sick and it finally got me. This was a hard run with a weak stomach
but I made it, because I kept thinking of my Grandma of how much pain
she was in. Right now the Teton Marathon doesn't mean a thing to me
with the family issues going on. But if I do run it won't be a lot
these next couple weeks.
