So, we’re in convention season, and I always break up the three days because it’s too much on me. That’s where this blessing begins!

Instead of doing the three days at the Liacouras, my sister Lori and I decided to catch the Friday program today at Buckingham assembly hall. This has been the plan for some weeks now.

Now, maybe a little over a week ago, I begin feeling sensitivity to the left of my navel 😥… Yes, always an anxiety ridden experience because of the horrible flares I’ve had in the past. I decided to proceed and not get stressed out, but as expected, it begins to take shape..OY!

My prayer to Jehovah was literally that it not develop into anything crazy. So I’ve been keeping an eye on it for the past week or so. I expressed to my therapist Monday that this time had to be different! HS has taken enough from me these past fifteen years and I’ve had it. My plan was to keep the plans I had in place.

Meanwhile, Lori wasn’t onboard with me enduring such a long day in this state. I appreciated her concern, but was determined to get to the convention today. Well, for your reference, the cyst was about the diameter of you touching your thumb to your middle finger with lots of inflammation surrounding it.

Starting yesterday, I applied a concoction of tumeric, two different draw out salves, tea tree oil and the powder from a zinc gluconate capsule. I also did a tumeric and salt hot compress yesterday evening.

That brings us to today. My awesome sister came and got me and we went to Buckingham. During the break, I stood and waited for her while she went to try to assist someone. I wasn’t comfortable and went to touch my stomach. It seemed like I felt moisture, but I took it to be sweat. Wellllllll, when the program ended and we were leaving, I felt my stomach again… This time I knew what had taken place.

I was and am still sooooooooooo thankful to Jehovah for the way,  beyond a doubt,  he blessed me. For me, it’s literally as if he said, “I saw your effort, struggle and determination. Now I’m going to show you that I appreciate it.” What a sigh of relief. 

I’ve had flares that lasted weeks, some even more. When they are on the abdominal area, it makes for very painful bowel movements because of having to use those muscles. My wonderful God and the prayers of some awesome people in my life, spared me that misery.🙏🏽

Thank you for allowing me to share🥰
