Update. . .

This is from a few days ago. . . I was trying to post with some pictures.. . BUT, my laptop has decided to die. . .YIKES!!

Several folks emailed me today and yesterday asking for an update. I apologize for a delay in sending, it has just been a bit crazy.

Basically, on Wednesday morning, I decided to wash some clothes. . . Well, my washer decided to leak into the master suite. It was a big mess, but to quote a friend, "I've seen worse, but I've dealt with less." Anyway, carpets were torn up, floors mopped, and doors taken down. . . It is still in the process of drying, but it is almost done and there seems to be no damage in the walls, etc. YEAH!! God does provide!!

I was having a terrible time with post-op pain. . . I just could not get any relief. We added some Toradol (short-term) and that has helped. I was able to sleep for over 3 hours at a time last night. Praise God!!

Today was my f/u bandage change from surgery. Basically, the wound is healing nicely, it is still draining some but looks good. The PA told me a bit more about the surgery. It involved a little more than what my friend was told post-op. But, long story short, it was needed and should improve my movement. I can return to work with rather limited weight bearing utilizing crutches and a boot, but am not able to drive at this point. I started walking with the boot some today. . .a few steps. I can tell it is going to take time, but it feels better than yesterday and it will feel better with each day. . .

So, that's the update!! Thanks for all the calls, cards, prayers, etc. My office delivered a nice plant today, several folks have brought meals, and many others have gone well above the call of duty to help with "things." God always provides for our needs!!
