Tomorrow is the two-week anniversary of my surgery, and I must say I am pleased with how I'm doing. The pain is almost entirely gone--I've been off the pain medication for a few days now--and except for a major lack of energy, I feel great. I imagine I will only feel better with each day that passes.
I feel like I've been out of the loop of "things" for a lot longer than two weeks. I'm feeling a bit disconnected from "business as usual." But I suppose that's to be expected too.
I did have a long visit from my friend, Robin, today, which was just what I needed after being home alone all day. And my friend Peggy has been good to check on me every day, even though she's going through a pretty rough time herself right now. Tomorrow is my first day to officially be back behind the wheel of the car so I'm meeting my friend Deborah and her kids at CiCi's for lunch. I'm really looking forward to that!
The house is starting to get that neglected look, and I'm certain there's some laundry that needs to be done, but amazingly I'm content to just let it ride for the time being. I have 4-6 more weeks of no housework to enjoy, so I'm hoping my "let it ride" attitude will persevere, not giving way to the compulsive "gotta get it done right now" that is usual for me.
The nice thing about all this is that I have all the time I want to read and study my Bible. I have almost made it all the way through the Psalms--my favorite book in the Bible--and my new Bible is starting to get that "lived in" look that I love so much when it comes to the Word. :-)
So I guess I'd have to say things are going well here at Comm Central, even in the wake of major surgery and a slow recovery process.
Did I say God is good all the time? Even if I did, I just can't say it too much. ;-)
