It's been too long ... I've been through my elbow surgery now, and am on the way to recovery. I had to have a part of my hamstring transplanted to replace my UCL tendon in my elbow, yeah sort of a big deal. The recovery time to "normal" (whatever that is) is about 6 months, but I'm already doing so much better. I have physical therapy three times a week, and am in a big ugly brace that I call "Thug." Just for fun. Speaking of fun, physical therapy is NOT fun but I am encouraged by the progress so far.
I have also been so well loved during this recovery time - meals, cleaning my house, visits, cards - it is almost overwhelming. I'm learning how hard it is to receive! It's so much easier to give, and so humbling to be on the receiving end of so much love and mercy and grace. I have been the recipient of the hands and feet of Jesus from my brothers and sisters and that is a beautiful thing.
OK, for some fun, here's a video of Mason and his ongoing fear of all things flying ...
I'll be back sooner this time I hope!
