Hello there!
It's good to be back! I'm recovering from the partial knee replacement with a new attitude which I am sharing in The Weekly Word. Full disclosure, this devotional is quite transparent and humbling to share online, but how can I not share how God has changed me?
This week's post is only a partial look into my hobbies, however, you will soon be caught up in the next few weeks.
The "Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer" link below offers more details about my physical recovery.
Your posts and comments have been a delight to read! Thank you so much for reaching out with your encouragement and sharing a bit of your own lives!
Hello Everybody!
Thank you so much for your get well messages via this platform as well as Instagram! I've tried to keep up with you all on Instagram, but simply do not have the energy to read blogs at this point. I'm slowly recovering, listening to the doctor's orders, my family's and friends' guidance and learning to rest beside the still waters.
After the nurse removed the staples, my incision started draining pus. A visit to a local urgent care, as well as an injection of a strong antibiotic took care of the issue. My follow up visit to the surgeon showed great progress in clearing up whatever was brewing. I'm now applying Vitamin E oil to the incision which is helping immensely.
I'm making great progress in Physical Therapy! I may be released soon to continue exercising on my own at home. I can go as an out patient here locally, but I'm debating that course of action due to COVID.
Naps and rest are still my friends. This week, I've started playing just a bit with fiber arts again. I'm now able to read about 20 minutes without falling asleep!
Take good care everyone of you!
Hello There!
The doctor visiting and said I had almost no meniscus and very little cartilage left.
Have he only removed the meniscus, I pretty much would've been bone on bone.
He said I can get rid of the walker whenever I want and switch to the cane. I am doing exceptionally well.
Much of this is due to his skills, a wonderful support I have from family and friends and my Heavenly Father.
I was so anxious before the surgery because the last time I was at this hospital they were putting in the needle markers on my breast and the anesthesia for this procedure did not take. I felt every stick and adjustment of each needle.
The experience time has been more than positive and everyone has been so kind.
Thank you all for your support and prayers!
Hello there!
Just a quick update on my MAKO partial knee replacement on March 31

Hello there!
I know your time is precious, so I appreciate you taking time to pop in! How was your week? Are you enjoying some beautiful spring weather?
Last week I knew surgery would soon be approaching, so I scheduled play dates with days to rest afterwards. I visited my local library (support those local libraries!) and had a morning Bible study with a new friend. So, it was an active week! This week there was little time for hobbies or blogging! I even forgot to link up to some of my regular parties! 😮
I'm grateful to have had those days, however, as my surgery is scheduled for this Thursday! So, let's move on with this blog so I can fill you in!
Hello There,
Thank you for stopping by for a visit! Here's a little blog housekeeping snafu I just discovered. Perhaps it will help you as well. I usually just delete all my SPAM messages, but tonight I went through them and found tons of comment emails there! I'm sorry to those of you whose comments got lost in that file! I am working on posting them as well as answering your kind comments. Please, bloggers, learn from my mistake. Check your SPAM file before you press "delete all SPAM." 😉
The Weekly Word is a bit different this week as I'm adding an extremely basic tutorial as to how to make a stone altar using what I'm calling "testimony stones." For those of you who prefer, you can simply write encouraging, uplifting messages on them.
Take good care, my sweet Readers! I'm looking forward to catching up with you!
Hello There,
Hello There,
1The king rejoices in your strength, Lord.
How great is his joy in the victories you give!
2You have granted him his heart’s desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips. b
3You came to greet him with rich blessings
and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
length of days, for ever and ever.
5Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;
you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
6Surely you have granted him unending blessings
and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
7For the king trusts in the Lord;
through the unfailing love of the Most High
he will not be shaken.
Psalm 21:1-7
I hope you all had a fabulous week! Mine started off rough with a few days of illness, hence this post will be abbreviated as I lost a few days to sleep and recovery. However, I am fine now, thank God! It's amazing how quickly we can recover if we listen to our bodies, give it the rest it needs and then take life slowly as we recover!
