My life these days

[mom4him]

It has been way to long. I feel like I haven't stopped since Christmas. I have lived in Dr offices off one kind or other. Richard had his incision from last June opened up as it wasn't healing. We thought that at last we would see measurable progress. Nope! It still wouldn't heal. We got a wound vac put on this morning. He has responded well in the past to a wound vac so we are very hopeful. It will give me some relief as I have been putting him down for 2hrs in the middle of the day. My husband is scheduled to have his first knee replacement next Thursday. Goodness, I had no idea what went into that. He needs both done so this wife is going to be very happy when they are both done and he is fully recovered. In the midst of it all we are still trying to figure out my daughter's problem. Have another appointment for her this Tuesday.

I think I have shared some but couldn't remember how much. Sorry. Despite it all, I have been walking in the peace of God. God has been growing me leaps and bounds. The main thing I felt I needed to change in my life was determine to be kind to all I come in contact with. My heart has gone through such a change from that one thing.

Regardless how your new year has been going, I pray you are looking to the One that will wrap you in His love.

I have been wondering how things were going there. It is amazing what you can do, go through, and endure when you walk with God.
Bless you sweet friend. I think of you often and pray for you regularly. ~Sheri

Sandy, I don't know how I missed this one last night! Have had you all in my prayers and am glad to hear an update. Each one of the health issues you are dealing with are difficult enough on their own, but all of them at once! You are one strong, caring person and faith will definitely help you through all of this. I sure hope and pray that once the knee replacements are completed that everyone else will be healed as well and you get some rest. Please take care of yourself during all of this as well, even if it is just 5 minutes by yourself petting your fabric - those momentary breaks from everything will help you continue to be the fantastic caregiver that you are. Hugs!

Sandy, you have been on my mind and in my prayers. Good to hear from you. I will pray for your DH. I had one knee replaced in 2012 and it was not fun, I am sorry to say.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. By rest,are you talking about the two hours I slept this afternoon? Lol I was so tired I think I crashed.

These were part of my devotion this morning. Thanks for bringing them to me again.

I would be interested in knowing if the surgery was difficult because of the pain or if you had complications.

Re: My life these days

Sandy, thank you for the update. I will be praying that the wound heal and surgery go smoothly. I have had a grandma that had knee surgery and several friends. Biggest thing they were told is to make sure to do their physical therapy and exercises. Around here if you have to have both knees done, they are done at the same time as to not favor one knee over the other when moving. One guy moved like he was at least 30 years younger after he got his done.
Please continue to update when you can.
