There Will Always Be Challenges ~



Day eleven post surgery, and all is well. Doctor said I'm better than most at this point!
The process has been relatively easy for me, very little pain, no trouble sleeping. The hardest part has been dealing with another cough/cold that would not (still) go away! Been so touched by friends that took time out of their lives to help in any way, or stop in to visit me.The days are challenging sometimes with so much alone time! The greatest challenge, it's nearly impossible to dry my own hair..... Can't help but wish while watching Downton Abbey that I had my own Anna to assist. :-)
The hubstir has gotten rather good at doing it for me! In fact he has taken the best care of me.
Truth is, life is good in the big scheme of things, if my greatest trouble is drying my hair!

My church has been experiencing some difficult times, which is never wanted, yet it happens. You see church is the people, and because we belong to Him does not mean we are free from the struggles in this world. It means we know as we go through challenging times,we are never alone. We continue to trust and know that with God, good will prevail every time. I have always felt this little church will provide many with a hope they have never known, a feeling of acceptance and being cared for. That I'm sure will continue, I've never felt stronger about that then after yesterdays service, God has this.

Missing my sweet Khloe and Ellery....oh the days are so long without them. I so treasure every moment they have come to visit with their Momma or Daddy.  My youngest son made a special surprise trip to bring me chicken soup when I was feeling my worst, my heart swelled! How I love the men they have become......

 I try and keep busy, reading, have spent very little time online, and I've been good with that. I've enjoyed  watching the first four seasons of Downton Abbey with my Bustir. Would love to have Mosley serve me some tea  right about now...... :-)

Doing my best to catch up with my fellow bloggers!

It's what echos from my heart today....

    So glad you have this much under your belt. I had shoulder surgery 7 years ago for a frayed tendon and it was NO picnic. My goodness, the limitations are just awful and the rehab lasted forever but once I recovered it was so wonderful and still is. But, now I have some issues with my other shoulder but Dr. thinks it may be related to my neck issue. So.........Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery. Blessings!

    Soo glad you are moving right along in your recovery and have had such good care taken of you by your family and friends. i couldn't shower for two weeks.....YES! 2 weeks!....after my mastectomy's and hubby had to wash my hair which was really quite the trick, lol. But it was kind of nice....funny isn't it what you go through sometimes, Sounds like it won't be long now and this will all be but a distant memory. Blessings to you!!

    Awww Debi - I'm so glad the surgery went well, and that you're doing good. I can imagine that cough though being really bothersome. I hope it goes away very soon. It's wonderful that you have had help from hubstir, family and friends. You're such a nice person to everyone so I'm not surprised. Take care, and know I'm thinking of you. xoxo

    You are such an important woman, and I am sure you are missed on all fronts. I hope and pray that each day finds you feeling a bit better. I love that people close to you are stepping up to the plate to help make your life tolerable while you recuperate. Makes me wish I lived closer to you:)
