Pilgrim Soldier

Back on the 27th July this year I got the news that my mum was finally back on the waiting list for her hip replacement operation. For those of you who know me personally, this whole saga has been the biggest single weight on my mind during the last few years here in Latvia. My mum has suffered a great deal of pain and frustration due to arthritis and the resultant knee replacements. Then to cap it all she was diagnosed earlier this year with Glaucoma.

Well my Dad has phoned this evening to say that after the latest round of checks, what looked to be a real problem with one eye seems to be starting to resolve itself and that, praise God, she has finally got a date for her hip replacement. So after exactly five months on the NHS list Mum will be going back under the knife on December 27th. Then we can all look forward to her recovery and they will both be able to get out of the house more often.

Christmas has come early for this particular family! Thank you Lord!
