I am about to head back home to Florida after a 10-day stint in Alpharetta with my wonderful extended family. One week ago last Wednesday I had my left ACL repaired and I am happy to report that everything could not have gone better. Thank you for praying, calling, emailing, texting, Facebooking, & Tweeting (did I miss any?!)
The recovery is going better than I could have asked. The physical therapist is a little stunned — glory to God! A miracle also unfolded in getting me into PT so soon, just two days after surgery. Everyone bent over backwards for me. Truly amazing.
I will still be hobbling around for the next several weeks pressing on in the PT department and getting my strength back. In the midst of everything I must confess I was NOT happy to be dealing with this; my temper got the best of me. Not a proud moment, but I have learned the unconditionality (new word?) of love, from my family and friends and, most of all, my heavenly Father. I have had a different visitor almost every night in addition to the cards and calls. Thank you for your support and friendship.
Here is a picture of my first visitor, Mindy, the evening after my surgery. Enjoy! -EL
