Rick did well during surgery. They removed the foot starting at the ankle. He is in pain, but so far his spirits are high. Friday should be the day for surgery number 2. This is where it can get really difficult. I am afraid for him. I can't imagine the pain he will be enduring after wards. Not just from losing the limb, but from the rehab to follow.The next couple of months are going to be quite rough. Pray that his spirits stay high, that healing comes quickly, pain is little, and rehab is fast.
Yesterday, I woke up and started sneezing. I sneezed all day. I thought it was allergies. Last night it went into my chest and has seemed to settle there. It's hard. Here I am trying to be strong and do everything I can, and I get sick. I hate being sick. I hate the congestion, the confusion, the pain. But it's a cold, it's temporary. It will go away. Rick losing his leg is permanent.
If you are going through something similar, remember to stay strong. A limb can be replaced. Your entire body cannot. Don't try to save something that will kill you like this. Save the rest of you. Be strong and courageous.
Be a friend, be a lover, be a companion. Love like tomorrow is the last. For any time, we can go. God has his timing for us.
In Sunday School at my church, we are going through a book called One Month to Live. So far, it's been really good for me. With everything I am going through, I need to remember our lives are numbered. We have to remember to live every day like it could be our last. Restore broken relationships, study the Bible more, love your family better, do things you never thought you could do. Discover your courage, discover who you are. Live, Love and Learn.
