Friends -
Chronic Pain Rehab Experience
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”
I wanted to briefly review my experience at the Chronic Pain Rehab clinic that I attended the three weeks of June 9-27, weekdays 9-3, at IU Neurology department downtown.
A neurologist, pain psychologist, and therapist presented topics each day on living with chronic pain (CP). We learned about CP and sleep, nutrition, positive coping, and much more. All the power point slides were given to us and I have a huge binder to refer back upon.
We experienced yoga, physical therapy, mindful stretching, bio feedback, and acupuncture! It was a great experience to build up my life with this pain.
It was never designed to take it away, but to build up my "toolbox" to deal with life!
Thank you to the Joint Council for blessing this journey, and for the many of you who sent cards and prayers! God bless you,
Pr Doug

TOP THREE THINGS TO KNOW FOR THIS SECOND WEEK OF JULY:
1) Prayer for Texas Flood Victims
Heavenly Father,
We lift up every family affected by these devastating floods in Texas. You are our refuge in the storm and our shelter in the flood.
Let Your mighty hand protect those in every town on alert. Rescue those trapped. Strengthen the first responders. Provide comfort to the anxious and hope to the weary.
We speak peace over the rivers. Let the waters recede. Let restoration begin.
And Lord, hold tight every parent, child, and elderly person who doesn’t know where to go tonight.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
