The news isn't very different from the previous post. Simon saw another doctor on Monday night. He happened to be staying with people we know. The doctor is in country for a short time working at the hospital that Simon had an appointment at on Tuesday. Simon and I were both wondering how we could get him to the hospital due to no position being comfortable and there being a lot of pain involved.
Anyway God provided and the doctor made a house call on Monday night. He has recommended that Simon "sit" it out as long as he can and that we don't pursue surgery unless it is really necessary. The pain has been particularly difficult to bear for Simon so we were able to get some advice on a different pain med. I was able to pick it up last night and Simon slept a bit better.
He is currently camped out on the bedroom floor as that is the only place he can get comfortable. He is able to "duck" walk (Simon's words) to the bathroom but it is a painful waddle. However, he does need to move around when he can.
We would value your continued prayers for him and for us as we go through these days. Pray that we discern what needs to be done at the right time. Pray that the pain would subside and he would be more comfortable especially at night. Thanks for interceding for us. x
