OK well I am one week post-op and I am feeling better each day. I am absolutely tired of being in this house - but doctors orders. Each day I feel a little stronger than the day before. But I know I am not up to par yet- once I am up for a while, I get very tired. But it is a work in progress. Jeff is so helpful in all of this. If one good thing has come out of this - I have found so many new reasons to love my husband. He has been so helpful and caring and attentive through all of this. Never a complaint -always asking if I need something. He went back to work this week and has come home every day at lunch to check on me. I just love him!
I can talk! (God is good!) I am not the loud mouth that everyone remembers -but I am sure it will come. :)
But just being able to communicate in some way is better than none. The hand clapping and snapping was not working to well for me. It puts things into perspective - and it makes me appreciate the ability to talk.
Singing -now that is another story. Not attempting that yet. Doctor told us that it would take some rehabilitating before getting to that - probably 6 months or so...but I am confident that God is in control and all will be OK.
2 more days and I go to the doctors. I know that all will be well, I am just ready to find out. I love everyone who is out there praying and thinking of me and my family. The journey is not over, but I believe there is a light ahead. And I promise - pictures are coming...I am hoping to get my sweet hubby to take me tonight. It will give me an excuse to get out of the house.
Stay tuned!
This blog was deisgned in order to keep my family and friends informed. I am so blessed to have an abundance of support across the country - so thank you all.
