She comes like a theif in the night.

She came like a thief in the night. Without warning, although I knew she had been here she been lurking.
Her visits began slowly and increased the last few days.
She presents as tightness in my legs. I became aware of her a few weeks ago and i knew that she's was coming back. I just did not know when.
She is an uninvited, unwelcome guest. I do not know what to say, I forgot how severe pain could get.
She came through the night and waited for me to wake up.
When I woke up I couldn't move without intensifying the pain.
This winching pain so severe
I remember hearing my morning meds container hitting the floor between bouts of drowsiness and sleep last night.
I did not know that she had returned until i tried to take off the cpap mask.
I could not move, not upward, not side to side, without the wringing pain.
I texted my pastor because I knew that I would be missing our appointment.
I heard my son moving around it was such a mercy that he had not gone to work early this morning.
My son heard me calling and he came in.
He is helping me to sit up, this will be a very long tedious process.
The torture so severe, i just took my pain medication and muscle relaxers they will begin to work soon.
I am now in my chair at the workstation in my room.
I started translate this dictation and must get a call into the neurologist, family doctor, nurse and my pain management specialist.
I know that this is a test, i must stay strong and I have to stay faithful, must keep it together.
I keep a cell phone and my iPad with me, even in bed just for these visits.
She has now left but I am confidant, that she will return.
I will guard myself by stating in the Word and focused on the reassurances, promises inside it.
I will be compliant with my  doctors.
