Anuther thought -- wish I could have *these fellas* and some friends in for the Fourth of July and "all the fixin's" --
Give 'em air conditioning and lots of iced tea, or the limeade I made last night...strawberry shortcake with Cool Whip and a blueberries on top...after the hamburgers and hot dogs and deviled eggs and potato salad and cold watermelon and more ---
[Think they've had enuff fireworks, though.....]
Hi, folks!
As some of you know I got out of the hospital a week ago, and I've been living with my daughter and her husband in Thousand Oaks since then. I thought everything would calm down once I got out of the hospital, but it hasn't.
Of course, Faith and her husband have adjusted their lives in any way possible to make it easier for me so it's just a matter of waiting for my Great Healer to fix all those that are rattling around loose in my leg. The strange part is the way the ligaments and muscles are trying to form enough scar tissue around the titanium rod to stabilize it. That feels weird!
Faith and I go to physical therapy three times a week. I have never been this lacking in stamina in my life. That twenty days on my back made me weak as a kitten.
It's getting better, though, one day at a time.
The sun is bright in southern California, and this day is perfect for me to ride the power wheel chair down to the little Thousand Oaks Park and take advantage of those gentle breezes God is providing. There are lots of kids down there so I'm going to borrow some of their energy until I can make some of my own.
God bless you, friends. I still have about a week to go before I can start my chemo treatments, so this battle is barely started.
Thank you for hanging in with me.
Your prayers have sustained me in this battle, and I count on your strength as we go forward every day.
One thing I try to remember every day:
We have had no setbacks! God has kept us on a pace of postive progress, and He will be there to finish the job!
