well...jan and i have been home
from the hospital a full day. the
nurses in that hospital will never
forget us. same room. same nurses.
always pressing the red
button for help. we each had both
feet done. we can hop on one foot:
not the slighest weight for six weeks
on the other.

we have each fallen once. wailing
in terror. jan's youngest son,
christian, is the one we've hired as
our helper. he came running for
both spills.

nurses. some warm and pleasant. others who never crack a smile
black and white.... absolutists
in their approach. a pain pill 5 minutes early is WAY too early.

i told jan it is the hardest thing
to get around. no feet. it is like a
job experience. one hour at a time.
please pray. pray. pray.

"He leadeth me. He leadeth me.
by His own hand, He leadeth me.
a faithful follower i would be..by
His hand, He leadeth me.."

thanks for all your loving comments.
remember, the lady who challenged me to have more
kindness for myself did so with much love. and a few others
challenged me likewise. oh, i have
miles and miles to go, but i'm truly
growing.

"this little light of mine, i'm going
to make it shine....
