3 weeks and 6 days post surgery and I see a glimmer of how wonderful life can be. Resilience ... I praise the Lord for resilience ... for the ability to go through trials and 'bounce back' with a spring in my step. My plan is to focus on getting well and enjoy life. It is amazing how the Lord has created our bodies so that they can be resilient and heal. For the first few days after surgery I could not even shower myself. Imagine the joy in my heart when I discovered that I could shower without asking my husband to help me. Independence is such a blessing. On Monday I was amazed because I actually felt well. This past Friday, a kind pastor came to visit me. Before she left she prayed that God would continue my healing and bless me. Friday night was the first night since surgery that I have slept without pain or pain killers. It was amazing. Since then I have discovered that I can sleep on my side. Again ... it is amazing!! This experience has made me truly grateful for the small things (like even being able to reach for a glass in the cupboard) and very grateful for the kindness in the hearts of my family and friends who have stepped up to help me. May God bless you all!Like King David, I know with whom the praise for a victory lies.
Psalms 44 : 4 - 8 You are my King and my God, ....
6 I put no trust in my bow,
my sword does not bring me victory;
7 but You give us victory over our enemies,
You put our adversaries to shame.
8 In God we make our boast all day long,
and we will praise your name forever.
One week ago I started doing my walks, again. Yesterday, I was up to 2 walks. As I stroll, I am in awe of the beauty that God has put all around me. Even with the change of seasons, I enjoy seeing the snow on the mountain tops.
The pathology report is not done, yet. I am not anxious about it because I have decided that with the Lord's help I am going to finish well.
God is good! I will continue resting and getting well. I embrace this time of growth and accept Divine healing.
