After seven of the strangest days of my life, I’m finally returning to some sense of my normal life today. I’ve never had surgery before now, and I greatly underestimated the “recovery” process that was involved in this experience. I was expecting to be up and going a few days after my procedure. I had plans to take my daughter to a movie last week, spend a lot of time working on our church website from home, and mow the yard on Saturday. I was a bit off on those predictions. Instead I spent most of my time moving from my bed to my chair beside my bed or hobbling around our house. It was a pretty miserable few days that I am happy to leave behind.
Thanks to everyone who said a prayer for my recovery. I got several nice cards in the mail, phone calls, and emails. I appreciate your thoughts. Most importantly, I appreciate my wife who took great care of me and waited until yesterday to tell me about all the funny and embarrassing things that happened while I was in recovery at the surgery center. I was healed enough to laugh about most of those.
