The Flip Side of Being a Caregiver While Still Mending

O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. Psalm 71:17-18 NKJV

My husband's back went out right after I had been released from physical therapy. I felt God's timing was so perfect. Although I wasn't totally well, I was told the muscles in my leg would develop more strength over time.

 It was just a few days after I was released that his back acted up. We got him into the doctor's office who ordered an MRI and a back surgeon to read the results of the MRI. Well, when he did get to see the back surgeon, he wanted to take his own xrays and never actually read the MRI. He ordered some physical therapy for my husband.

 This was really the flip side, because now, I was taking my husband to physical therapy when he had been taking me all those many months. I'm glad I was able to be a support to him.
Since these are examples of how I've applied these Bible verses to my experience, they may not reflect the whole meaning of the verse.

I'm including You Tube Video clips on caregiving that I found interesting, inspirational, or might be helpful to others, but am not responsible for the content in the videos. Always check first with a physician before trying any suggestions mentioned.
