life in the recliner

     Hello, there!  I went into surgery early Friday morning, trusting a happy young Doctor to perform a procedure with a stuffy name which simply means to me that my broken-down, painful foot is fixed so I can go on with my active lifestyle!  Well, the fix isn't complete yet because I'll be on the mend for a while;  6 to 8 weeks on crutches to be exact. 

    The weekend was pretty tough with continual pain and miserable swelling but the turn around came today with a great boost of hope and a refreshed mind--especially now that I can survive without prescription pain meds. In the mean time I gotta keep that foot elevated and iced. So it's life in the recliner for me!

     Mr. Tucker has been my faithful buddy, keeping close to make sure I'm O.K.  He's an adorable bit of a seat hog!

     I felt good enough to read today--a luxury in between naps.

     I am so blessed with good care-givers--my very own first responders are pretty amazing at home, too. Plus, our church has generously arranged meal deliveries.

     One dismal fact remaining: I have to give myself shots for my blood thinner. Oh, I suppose it's mind over matter but what it really feels like, is one of those occasional reminders that something really is "wrong" with me.

Rejoicing in everything that is "Right" --or rather, GOOD!

Zinnia Girl!
