Monday Meanderings #14 – Update

Hello, Blogging family! Checking in to say hello, give a surgery update and let you know I missed you and getting to explore your blog posts. I also want to express my gratitude for all the good wishes, healing vibes, and prayers that you sent my way. I felt them. Thank you!

The Texas Bluebonnets are starting to bloom. They are such beautiful but short-lived flowers. I hope everyone who celebrates the Easter holiday had a good time. This is the first time in fifteen years I had to miss spending Easter with family. I’m just not up to their level of chaos yet. 🙂

I am happy to report the surgery went well. The doctor found it to be more complicated than she first thought and it lasted for around three hours. But I am recuperating and getting stronger every day. My two daughters were with me all the way and I am so grateful to have raised such loving and compassionate women. The surgery occurred on Monday. I didn’t return home until Wednesday afternoon. I have indulged in the three Rs as I heal: Resting, Recuperating and Reading. Each day I set a goal. It may be as simple as washing my hair or checking email, but I need something to work toward, yet keeping it simple.

Am I ready to jump back into everything with both feet? No. But I will dip my toes in the water as my body allows. I will take another week before I try to return to work, and even then not in the capacity I was before. Gotta take it slow and easy, but the bills keep coming regardless of whether or not the income does. You understand.

Know that I missed all of you and value your spot in my small world. I won’t promise to catch up, so please forgive me for that. I’ll do what I can when I can but because of the extensive repair, I have to listen to my body.

Thank you for all that you do and all that you are. I’ll check back in as I can.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
