My Testimony of Healing

[LightBearer316]

I just want to take a moment to give all glory and praise to the Lord for what He has done in my life. Over these past long months, I went through pain, setbacks, frustration, and a lot of uncertainty with my ankle. There were days when I had no idea how things would turn out, and days when I honestly felt defeated. But through every part of this journey, the Lord remained faithful.


I believe the underlying issue may have been a strange form of CRPS Stage I — a truly horrific condition in any form. By God’s grace, I was able to avoid going down that road completely. I didn’t end up needing gabapentin, and I was spared the fear of possibly being stuck on it for the rest of my life. The Lord protected me even in the things I feared might happen.


Today, I can finally say my ankle is getting back to 100% normal. The strength is returning, the soreness is fading, the strange and bogus nerve signals are fading, and little by little I’m getting back to the life I had before the injury. None of this happened because of luck or chance — it happened because God carried me through the hardest moments, even when I couldn’t see it.


The Lord gave me patience when I had none. He gave me peace when I was afraid. He led me to the right doctors and helped me make the decisions I needed to make, even when it meant starting over again. And now, He is restoring what was damaged.


I thank Him for His mercy, His healing, and His faithfulness. Recovery isn’t always quick or easy, but I’ve learned that God works in the slow, quiet moments just as much as He works in the sudden miracles. He truly is “a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1 KJV).


All I can say is this: Thank You, Lord. You have been so good to me. I was the least worthy to receive Your mercy—yet You still poured it out on me.

Thank you so much for your testimony. It is very encouraging!

Psalm 145 v 20-21The LORD preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy. My mouth will declare the praise of the LORD; let every creature bless His holy name forever and ever.

If you don't mind I would like to add mine.

In Feb 24 I went to doctors for a BP check.
It was 244/143 and heart rate 158.
As a result over a period of months I had loads of tests and ECG'S and an Echocardiogram.
Eventually I was referred to one of the best cardiologist in the UK.

It turns out that at some point in my life I had a heart attack, I had 3 blocked arteries, and ascending Aorta, heart damage and I was basically told that I was a walking corpse waiting to happen.

I had no symptoms at all, the cardiologist couldn't believe it.

I sorted out all of my affairs so that if I died on the table that my family that my family had everything they needed to sort out the aftermath.


I had open heart bypass surgery and was on the table for 6 hours in Oct 24.

One slight problem was that I have knee problems and was on crutches before the opp. I have arthritis in both knees and a massive bakers cyst at the back of my left knee.

I was told that I could bring my crutches.
Slight problem, my chest would be cut open and then stiched up and I could not put any weight on my arms.

When I went into the hospital our pastor asked my wife what he could pray for.
She asked him to pray for my knees because I wouldn't be able to use my crutches and have some way of getting out of the hospital.

Talk about miracles

I was out if ICU one day early.
Day two my catheter was removed.
Day 3 I needed to go for a pee
I panicked because I could not see my crutches.
I didn't want to call the nurses.
My stomach was wired up with wires and pumps on a metal frame that I would use to get up to walk in the room I was in.
I tentatively pulled it close to me and stood up and tried to put the weight on my legs and not my arms.
I couldn't believe it but I had no pain in my knees I could walk normally.
I had my pee with no worries.
Even now I'm crying about this because the massive bakers cyst had gone.
I ask the consultant why that happened and he said I have not idea.
Even the physio I had for rehab had no idea either.
It was a miracle.

I was having loads of blood tests each day.

It looked like I might need a blood transfusion as my blood tests were showing quite a few deficiencies, mainly electrolytes but my blood type is O.
So they were trying to source the blood, that meant my stay in hospital would be longer. I was given intravenous injections and oral solutions to help me before the transfusions.

After a day they took another complete blood count and I didn't need th transfusion.
They were surprised and I was told that I am ready to go home 2 days earlier.

I had a follow up with cardio and was released from his care 4 weeks early because my recovery was completed. He couldn't believe it either.

What is amazing is that from Feb 24 to the op I never felt worried.
I really felt the peace of God.
I conveyed that to my family.
God is in control.
He knows everything so we should not worry.
I had keep asking God to help me to let his arms surround me.
And he did.
All the way through this journey.

A man who was told by specialists that they can't believe I'm still alive is still alive, wallking without crutches.

I still have niggles and side affects of meds.
I'll take that.
I have been given time to spend with my wife and 4 kids and new grandson and 3 dogs.

It's my testimony and one I will always talk about.

Amen sister.

 

[Magenta]

Amen sister.

Your story is amazing and the first I heard of you going through all that last year! So glad it all went well for you and you came
through with flying colours as they say, due in large part to God's presence in your life and your faith in His goodness and care...

Thank you Father for being faithful as I know I have not been not completely ever. Yet you remain faithful, amazing thank you
