Feeling well and hopeful

  The last few days have been great!  My knee feels tight and swollen and my stitches itch and burn a little, but nothing that is intolerable!  I can tell that this recovery won't be anything like what I went through for the last 7 months.  

  Things are looking up, and I feel a bit more like my old self again.  I have missed "me"!  LOL.  Pain changes people, that much I know now more than ever.  The daily frustration of not being able to make it go away no matter what you try, and the way it interferes with your daily life starts to really take a toll on you. 

  I am actually sitting at my desk, with my leg in the immobilizer getting ready to take a shower, and trying to figure out what God has planned for me on this next "leg"  (pun intended) of my journey!  

  Let me end with this,  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Phil 4:6
