Two weeks to go

In a little less than two weeks, I will be going back to the doctor. I hope at that time, he will remove this brace. It has become most uncomfortable and has a tendency to rub my back making the incision site tender. At that time, I am also hoping he will allow me to increase my activity. Basically, I have walked twice a day, sat up for awhile, and lain around or asleep the rest of the time. A totally boring existance. I see the nasty floors in my house and the dust and it's all I can do not to get busy cleaning. The pain in my left leg has moved to the ankle/foot area. Greg says I'm home free when it goes into my big toe. I seems to moving that way.

I read the discharge instructions the other day (just like a nurse to wait until two and a half weeks out of surgery to know what she is/isn't supposed to be doing). It seems I wasn't to start my 2-3 miles a day walking workout until after my month checkup. I look at it this way, I am ahead of the game.

On the flip side of this. I have had time to read more (except on this medication, I get sleepy when I read). I have had the time to listen to the tapes I found at Mom's (tapes of Greg's sermons from 1989 to 2005; tapes from the times she went to Zoe conference); and many other interesting tapes I want to listen to. So far they have been very interesting. The only problem with listening to them is, I want to take notes and that requires sitting up, which for some reason tires me.

This is the update for now. Hope to be able to attend worship Sunday (I did get out for worship last Sunday and it wore me out). I really miss worshiping with my church family. They have been great to visit, bring food, take care of the dogs (since Mike is constantly out of town), etc. They have truely been an extension of my family.

Hope your weekend is a good one and your worship HOLY.
