If it'll stop the pain I'm all for it. He can't even stand up. It breaks my heart to see this strong, loving man who's worked all his life for his family like this.
When I lay down at night all these memories keep flooding thru me. Daddy paying me and my sisters .25 to sweep up sawdust in his shop and walking us to school every day. Him waiting up on the front porch for us to come home from dates................
I just can't stand seeing him like this...................... |
My daughter and a friend of mine both with spinal problems, had those shots and they really work! They travel from the spine to the nerves that are causing the problems and help stop the pain. I'm praying that they work as well for your Dad.
Maybe the Daddy you remember from growing up is not the same right now, but he's still here loving you as much as he always did. Now you get the chance to return that caring love back to him. He may just be back to the way he always was once the pain subsides. I hope so and will pray for that also.
