I want to start by thanking everyone for all their help and support!
Sharon and I would have had a tough time indeed without full time help from family and tons of TLC from friends. Rides, groceries, help in and outside the home, and home-cooked meals made recovery a lot easier to handle.
My biggest challenge now is the lifting restriction... no more than 5 lbs for 7 more weeks. I've just been cleared for driving, so I can run most errands, but buying milk, fruit, potatoes, and canned stuff is a challenge. In any case, I'm very grateful for the freedom driving allows us again.
Sharon is doing a lot better 2 weeks out of her foot surgery but will still be in an aircast boot for 2 more months. I'm really proud of her for getting around as well as she does -- it's been a tough struggle to gain mobility back.
The biggest thing I'm learning is that we take so many things for granted so when they're taken away, it's a huge shock. It's really helped me focus on enjoying each present moment as it comes, because who knows what the future will bring?
Also the word "patient" has a whole new meaning....I pray that I can continue being patient while being a patient a while longer, knowing that soon I'll really have my life back.
