Journal entry by Ann— Dec 10, 2017
Many have asked so I’ll give an update….. Scott’s surgery went great he is a couple weeks in and is getting around really well. He just graduated from the walker to a cane on Friday. He is even being a good boy and doing his physical therapy. Scott is not a complainer so it’s hard to know how much pain he might really be having. So as of this year he has a new knee and a new shoulder so there has been plenty of pain and recovery. I’m sure he will be glad when all is back to normal, but minus the pain!
I am doing so much better too. The nerve pain from the herniated disc in my neck is completely gone. Though I do still have some pain on the back of my neck it doesn’t compare to the before pain. My throat does not hurt anymore and there is only a slight tenderness at the incision site. It will only keep getting better.
It’s amazing to me how our bodies break down, mostly because we abuse them, but can be built back up. Pretty much any part of our body can now be opened up, repaired, and put back together. The options of dissolving stitches, staples, and GLUE amaze me! I find the more things go wrong with my body and the more I learn about how it works I am even more in awe of its Creator. With the births of each of my babies, surgeries, and teaching health to my kids I am overwhelmed at the intricate design that God has so lovingly created. Each piece working together to make it all happen just the way He had planned. All He had to do was think it and it was created. Imagine the breath of God seeping in our entire being. I am amazed and in awe.
I am so thankful for all the prayers, support, food, cards, and love we have received. Once again the love of Jesus has shown up through so many of you. AND once again a simple “thank you” does not cover how grateful we are.
Blessings, hugs, and love sent from me to you.
Love and hugs, Ann
