Recovering.
December 12, 2013
Last Thursday, Dr. Bradbury performed his second total hip replacement on me. It was successful. Patty brought me home the following afternoon, and I have been recovering quickly.
Today I got out for the first time since my hip replacement … we went to the funeral of a parent from the school. She’s with the Lord, but a 3rd grader and 6th grader now have no mommy. I don’t like that. The Lord will help, and the Christian school will be a strength. (One of the benefits of Christian education)
Knee replacements are more difficult than hip. Both are worth it. Pain from damaged, arthritic joints is tough to endure. I’m grateful for medical technology and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
So many friends have been praying for me. I’m so grateful. I wouldn’t-couldn’t bear life so well without the Lord.
A benefit of studying the Word all your life is that when you’re older and really need His help, you know what’s in the contract. Peace is ours through the knowledge of His Word.
Bless you as you prepare for the holiday season.
