Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

Hello @fiesty76, @johnbishop, I saw this post and just wanted to repeat something I shared some time back that I do not know if you saw.
I once saw a very wise therapist showed me that minimizing my own circumstance was counterproductive to my well-being and mental health.
We all walk through many fires here on Earth in this lifetime. We all have different human endurance thresholds and mental health thresholds.
Most often, while we are thinking someone else's hardships are much worse than our own, they are thinking the same thing; that hours are worse than theirs.
The only thing that works for me is that I know and trust God cares deeply about the details in my/our life/s and that He has a higher purpose in them.
Also knowing and experiencing His ever presence and immeasurable, vast, boundless, sacrificial, unmerrited, deep love for me/us brings me a lot of comfort and His peace through Christ that surpasses all human understanding, Philippians 4:7.
Not to mention the promises we have in eternal life, among which is a new body-Philippians 3:21 and no more tears- Revelation 3:24 ""And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.-" blessed be the Lord... According to all that He promised; not one word has failed of all His good promise" . 1st Kings 8:56. I can't wait!!
I hope you have a special weekend. I care deeply about your well-being. Sunnyflower 😊

Hank, are you still here? It's been several years since I've been on the blog. Too many health problems; haven't felt well enough. Five hip fractures/3 surgeries 2023, fall 2024 3 more surgeries; 6 on left leg in year and 3 months, 4th spine surgery 1/2025, still can't stand up straight-chronic fractures on 3rd lumbar vertebrae probably responsible, partially torn rotator cuff and two other partially torn tendons same shoulder, and more along w/ family tragedy. I am still walking by faith, Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." I have nothing but praise on my lips for our Lord Jesus Who's love is sacrificial, vast, boundless, free. I am deeply grateful for my innumerable blessings and the peace of God through Christ which transcends all understanding Philippians 4:7. Life is so tough but thankfully temporary, but a blink of an eye in light of all eternity. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by Me" John 14:6. Hope all of you all are experience God's presence and peace. Hang on Sisters and Brothers! Sunny Flower

Thank you, @sunnyflower, for sharing your therapist's remarks; they are certainly "thought worthy". And what you post , that " We all walk through many fires here on Earth in this lifetime. We all have different human endurance thresholds and mental health thresholds." is so true as well. My sil lost both parents within a yr of each other in high school. I shall always value his response when asked how he managed to survive and then work his way through college and beyond: "It isn't the tragedy that happens to us but how we choose to deal with it that matters most".
