It has been seven months since my first surgery and and five and a half months since my second surgery. Progress is being made. I walked six blocks yesterday. Being grateful for things like being able to sit with my knees bent and being able to stand up without pain seems trivial until one experiences what I have.

I realize this is a bit of a broken record from other posts, but it still holds very true. I am very grateful for friends who have helped me with rides, shopping-scary word shopping, prayers, and some have helped me by donating money to help me with medical bills.

Most of the time I only use a cane in public so other people know to be a bit careful. I don’t really need it most of the time.

Jesus has certainly carried me through the past seven months through others. I put this sticker on my cane when I started using it. It is peeling off, but it is still a good reminder.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
