Sometimes life presents us with situations that challenge us. On April 8th I left Tucson, AZ for my trip home. I had been having problems with my knee and I didn't know how I was going to make the trip cross-country because I was in so much pain. I met good AA friends, my sponsor, in Anthem, AZ for coffee. Right across the way was an Urgent Care Center. I figured I had had enough denial and made the decision to go, with my sponsor, and see about my knee. I knew they couldn't do much being what it is. They did give me enough pain medication to get me home along with an anti-inflammatory. Monday I see my Othoped. My knee hasn't changed so it will be interesting what he will say. My worst fear is that I will need surgery. If so, I must step up to the plate putting denial aside and do what needs to be done.
On Monday while in Springfield, MO I got sick with intestinal problems and wound up in another Urgent Care facility. It has taken until today, Friday, for me to totally recover. Putting my denial aside, I finally got in the flow of my life journey and accepted life on life's terms. Even with these challenges things just flowed and I didn't get all whigged out about these situations. So, I guess I have learned something at the tables over the many years I have been in the program.
A JOKE! AN ALCOHOLIC CAN JUST GO JOIN AA BUT AN AL-ANON HAS TO KNOW SOMEONE TO GET IN.
