Well that shower was about 42 days over due...
Hi everyone, wanted to let Y'all know things are going well. I just saw my surgeon yesterday and she said "Good, you haven't broken any of the bones we put in!" Holy Cow! She wasn't kidding about taking it easy. Good news is I can now take my brace off. This allows for larger range of motion, less discomfort, and you've guess it - showers and pool! She did say that it takes a minimum of 3 months for my bones to set properly, so even though I'll be starting physical therapy up soon, I won't be able to weight bear on my right leg for another 6 weeks or so. This had me bummed for about 25 seconds until I remembered a person in the waiting room without a leg. There is so much we have to thank God for every day!
In the mean time my brother has me doing push ups, I'm trying to keep up my reading, and I'm starting to jam out on my new Djembe (very large African drum, looks like an oversized bongo). Also my Grandma and Aunt are coming in tomorrow so I'm pretty excited to spend some time with them.
Bible Verse of The Day - Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
All Glory To God. Amen.

Day 242 (34)
Alright,
For the last three days and three nights I've told myself I'd post on my blog, and the procrastination stops here. Forgive the blogging dry spell you've experienced over the last 15 days, it seems no matter the volume of things to do, my mind delights in withholding the discipline to complete them all. I admit that was quite an expressive way of saying I'm getting lazy, bogged down, and disorderly; but, that is all about to change.
I saw the plastic surgeon team today, and will see my osteo surgeon next Wednesday. Thursday will most likely bring the commencement of my grueling physical therapy expedition. Now I'm not 100% sure of the details, I've been told these 'PT Types' are often retired Drill Sargents intent on advancing all patients to US Army physical standards. In any case, this might be to my advantage because my response to "See you in two months, expect you to be walking" was nothing less than "Expect to see me moon walking!"
Also trying to start reading again after a bit of a break. A friend encouraged me to read Healing by Francis MacNutt. I've only just started, but it seems to show the ins and outs of recent healing accounts all around the world, some of which where worked through the guy MacNutt. Very interesting stuff even at the inquisitive stage. If you've read some of my previous posts you'll know I've been talking to got about fixing me up in a way of his choosing. So far I believe He's been instrumental in my progress and I think this book will lend to this notion.
-Bible verse of the Day-
“[A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.] O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”- Psalm 63:1
Trust that God is near even when your unsure. Hebrews 11:1-21Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2This is what the ancients were commended for.
All Glory To God. Amen
