I saw the surgeon yesterday and it was a mixed news kind of visit. I am used to that after all of these years of seeing doctors for chronic illness.
The bad news first to get it out of the way. I need to wear the leg brace and keep my leg straight until I see him again June 10. The surgery was extensive. He told me he had to do a lot of stitching to repair muscle and tendon and also put a mesh in. That explains why I had so much pain during physical therapy.
The good news? It looks like I am healing okay. The x-rays looked good. Also no physical therapy until after I see him again. He wants to take things slowly.
So no driving until June 10th but no physical therapy.
It makes me think about how when we come to trust in Jesus as our Savior, there is good news, great news actually, and bad news. The great news is that we are forgiven, have an eternal relationship with God, have Jesus with us always, and much more. The bad news? Jesus told us in John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
We will still have troubles in this life. But Jesus is with us, so we do not face those troubles alone.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
