Prayer Request
I have done something unusual (yeah, leave it to me) and would like to ask for the prayers of anyone who might be reading this on Sunday. I know not many people get online on Sunday, but I do hope those who read this will pray for me.
Long story short: Yesterday, Luci was running away from me and I caught her with my left arm. I also, held her with the same arm (her in mid air) and spanked her with my right hand. She isn’t a light weight child. My left arm muscles from elbow to armpit were sore last night, and Annamarie rubbed them – but, truthfully, it was almost too painful for her to touch those muscles in my arm.
I woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible pain in my left armpit. I took some Darvocet (left over from a root canal at the dentist’s) but I dreamed all night of doing things that hurt my left armpit. I woke up around 3:30am and took another Darvocet. Still more dreams.
I was almost in tears and would have taken a warm bath, but was afraid of waking up Jesse with the water running.
I DID soak in a warm bath this morning and have taken some Ibuprofen, but I noticed a huge swelling in my armpit, down into the side of my left breast. It sometimes throbs and sometimes just has a continuous sharp pain.
All I want to do is sit still. I keep moaning because of the huge amount of pain and constant dull ache.I have company coming in Tuesday afternoon and want this to be past me by then.
Thanks to all who see this and pray.

Dear Cherylyn,

OUCH! Is it hot to the touch? Is it possible that swelling could be a blood clot? I would NOT mess about. I think I would go to the emergency room.

No, Mae, it’s not hot, not hard, and is basically just a soft tender lump; exactly like a sprained ankle. My arms and wrists are traditionally (from my mom’s side) the weakest part of my body. I shouldn’t have picked her up, but did so without thinking. I was aware of the strain on my arm at the time I held Luci, but never knew you could sprain/strain your armpit! I took 4 Ibuprofen this morning and it IS easing up a bit. At least when I walk, each step doesn’t feel like it’s jolting my armpit!

OK! I was really worried for a minute, there! I kept reminding myself that God would let you know if it was serious enough to require immediate medical attention, but y’know… when you care about people … you just want the best for them. I’m glad it’s easing up a bit. Just rest and don’t RE-sprain it!
Praying that everything will be back to normal as soon as possible!
Will pray that you heal quickly!

RYC: Here is a youtube clip w/ her music. It’s about twice as long as what she’ll use. I’m not sure what’s cut out, but she can only have about 1-1/2 minutes for the routine. (BTW: I didn’t actually watch the whole clip, so I hope there’s nothing on there offensive. I think it was just simply pictures. Anyway….. )
