The Detour

I am not sure if I am more of an idealist or realist. I get these ideas in my head and start off thinking everything will be fine. Kind of like the first week or month of homeschooling each fall, I am excited about our new curriculum and for some reason the kids aren't. Every year I would be stumped by this. :) You would have thought that I would have learned my lesson by the time the kids finished school.

But this time I was sure that my plan would work. 30 days of Joy 30 days in June-perfect. What I wasn't counting on was the issues with my surgery. I think in my mind, I was going in, have the surgery come home recover, but overall, I would be able to move forward. Things starting unraveling before I ever left the hospital.

Yesterday was three weeks since my surgery. I don't use my walker much, this is a major improvement. I can stand up straight! Yet I seem to have little stamina. I was hoping by the third week that I would be up and moving more, but that hasn't happened. One of the only things that I have  been able to keep up with has been my college studies. I hope my strength returns soon, for I many things to finish.

I am grateful for the surgery, that is for sure. I am also grateful for the prayers of my friends and family. I know things will look up soon, but in the meantime, I will try to allow for the time that I need to heal.
