Recovering…

Surgery over with a couple days ago.  Grateful for good surgeon and others who took care of me on Friday.

Exercises hurt a tad but over all, the pain is very manageable.

My friend, Tony, picking me up and getting me back and forth to church this morning safely after the snow.

Good coworkers/friends who worked my weekend this weekend for me.

My son, for picking me up some food.

My brother, who took me back and forth to surgery, waited with me while going in and had a good conversation.  Also taking me to pharmacy for prescription and to McDonald’s and treating me on Friday. I was hungry by then.

Having an extra bedroom to go to and not have to try and crawl into my water bed.

My dog, Jax, deciding not to stay on my bed and sleep elsewhere last night.

God.

My church family.

Being sober and only taking my pain med if/when I need it.  I have only had to take Tylenol Extra Strength and an Alleve so far.

Not having to work with this heavy snow that came last night and today.

Blessings galore, when I stay open to them.

  2. So glad that you are recovering from your surgery, Karen! Sharing my Grandmother’s tried-and-true tonid: Turmeric tea (or adding turmeric to tea) helps counter inflammation.
    Glad you have Jax!!
    Continued strength and blessings to you!!!
