I was getting ready for my second surgery and felt like I had not yet recovered from my first surgery...my get up and go had gotten up and gone...again he said... it would take a year and added...it will take a year from the surgery you have coming up...not what I wanted to hear
Winter, the wait between surgeries
Spring 2011, second surgery
Summer, they begin testing again because of some pain issues and physical therapy starts
Fall 2011 is a season of testing, scanning and more testing, because appetite not good and stomach quite disagreeable
Winter, blood pressure starts to go a little crazy and have an infection that has required a couple of months worth of antibiotics
Spring 2012
Okay I know it's not spring yet...but we are close.
It has been a year....he was right
My husband noticed first but he didn't say anything right away...then I started to notice. It's been kind of a gradual thing...like the buds blooming on a tree...then one day you notice the tree is in full bloom. That is kind of how it has been with me...it seems like all of a sudden there is this strangely familiar person back in our house...I hope she stays awhile... if I remember correctly she used to like to cook...that will be a nice change...oh happy day
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze Isaiah43:2

So, so glad to hear that you're slowly but surely getting back to feeling like yourself.

lovely photos... so very glad you are feeling more like yourself... may it continue steadily. love that verse, too...
Hi Maryann, It is good to know that He never leaves us or forsakes us. So glad you are once again starting to feel like yourself. I remember, being a new mom, that it took about 6-9 mos to totally recover from a c-section and I was young. Looking forward to hearing about renewed bike rides, walks etc. Loved your photos-simply breath taking.
Hugs, Noreen
