Progress

So, it's been 3 weeks since surgery and I'm slowly progressing from the walker to the cane! Still a bit of work even walking with the cane. I think I'm so anxious to get walking normally. Recovery is so self-strengthing in so many ways. Body, Mind, & Spirit. As each day comes and goes, I think of all the things I want to do, that I couldn't do before, and things I wanted to do and didn't apply myself to do it. I find that as I get stronger, my confidence is also building up. So everyday I'm deciding on those things I plan and intend to do that will only make me stronger.

It's sometimes easy to be embarrassed by the fact of being so young and having such a medical history as I do, but then again, it's accepting that this is the life God gave me. Who am I to argue it? I'm just grateful that I am breathing and that I can function on my own. I am proud that I am a miracle of God's grace. That is the humble fortitude that carries me thru pain of healing. Positive thinking can take you so far. Maintaining positive actions, people, thoughts and prayers are also what contributes to willing myself to get up every morning and out of bed.

Some days are harder than others, but I can reassure myself that pushing forward will lead me to where I want to be. That healthy, happy, strong woman who doesn't let anything keep her down!
