Recovery is .......

Well, there are many words to describe a time of recovery. Some of them are frustrating; painful; peaceful, restful; scary.
As I've mentioned before, I AM victorious just may not be a pretty road of getting there.

I continue to be amazed at how well I am doing following surgery. I was a little disappointed when I first got home because my pain levels were a little higher than they had been in the hospital, but as I've learned out to navigate things around home, that has improved.

It has also been a little scary as I don't have the little button to push for the nurse to magically show up. God has provided, however, an arsenal of friends who happen to be nurses/doctors. So far, I've been 'checked out' every day since I've been home!!
I have been treated like a queen and have continued to do well.
I've tried very hard to do things on my own that I probably should have tried, and have been reprimanded by my nursing staff (Chris and Keri). I'm reminded constantly what it means for my weakness to be His strength.

I am also amazed by the outpouring of love, compassion, and concern that has been shown to us.....

I go on Monday for a follow up visit with the Plastic Surgeon. Not really looking forward to the trip down there, but know that it is necessary. Please pray for our travel there and back. It takes about 2 hours each way. Please pray for Chris as he doesn't really love driving with a 'paitent' in the car. Please pray for my visit that the doctor will find my progress pleasing.

Thank you everyone for your continued encouragement!!!!
