Before my surgery almost five weeks ago, I shared a post about the things I looked forward to having time to do. I have to admit I was naive. Reality set in quickly.

I spent the first two weeks mostly in la la land with the pain pills. I started to taper off of them and last Sunday was my last one. I also spent the first four weeks with my leg elevated and knee iced. That is not exactly a position to be in and still write.

I am grateful for friends who have given me rides to physical therapy. That was the extent of my social life the first weeks with the exception of joining my Ukrainian friends on Easter Sunday.

Physical therapy has been a bear, but finally this week I reached the goal. Also I am using a cane now having graduated from the walker. I am thankful I only have five more sessions. lol

My classes resume next week at the college and I am so ready to be among people. Last Sunday I was able to go to my church in the morning. Hopefully this Sunday I will be able to go to both my church in the morning and New Breath, the Ukrainian church, in the afternoon.

This is just an update. I wish I had some deep spiritual truth to share from my experience, but in reality, I was in la la land too long. I will say that it is a great blessing to have friends who give rides and bring food. Jesus has blessed me with good friends.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
