post-op appointment

Mrs. H and I were once again off to Oxford today for her post-operative follow-up appointment with her doctor.  Everything was great!  Given her unfortunate mishaps with surgeries in 2008, the doc thought she might have some issues recovering at a normal pace with this surgery.  Much to his surprise, Mrs. H is healing well, and as he put it, "bouncing back a lot quicker than I thought."  She got her staples out, as well as those annoying drainage tubes/bulbs!  Now, she's basically free to move about the cabin!  Still restricted, however, on any lifting, bending, stooping, and the like.  Not too much too fast.  He, and all of us, wants her to heal thoroughly, and with no setbacks.  But a great day with great outcome all around.  Thank you, Father, for blessing her with Your wonderful healing power, and with the vast talent and skill of her doctor.  He wants her to stay off work for a full six weeks, so four more to go come tomorrow.  She's been, and continues to work hard at doing what she's allowed to do to try and get better.  Walking around several times a day, that kind of thing.  You're doing great, baby!  I'm so proud of you.  I love you so much!  Thanks so much for all the prayers!  Prayer works!  We even experimented a bit with trying something in the bed to see if she could get comfy, and she thinks it's gonna work good!  So, tonight...back to sleeping with my baby, instead of near her in the living room!  I hope she can get a great night's sleep!

God bless and geek on!
