Dear Friends! Forgive me for the long absence, and for the general stoppage of updates. And thank you for CARING enough to have read them! Its been a month and a few days since the May 28 surgery, and Ive been back in Binghamton after staying with the longsuffering and generous Karen Wolfe in Buffalo. The surgeon, Dr. Elisabeth Dexter, warned me Id feel like Id been hit by a semi, and she WAS RIGHT!!! That, of course, gives me WAY more understanding for those with disabilities/illness/age than I could ever have otherwise. I only wish I had understood while trying to care for my Mom ... Recovery has meant plenty of ups and downs, and frankly a bunch of crying on the couch while a friend or two held my hands. (You never knew what a wuss I am, did you?) One episode nearly required hospitalization for symptoms that just WOULD NOT QUIT (ill spare you the details), causing great despair and, with those dear friends and others, even more prayer. Im here to tell ya, boys and girls, prayer works. For much of what Ive experienced in the last five weeks, I maintain it was God stepping in, time and time again. So Ive learned a lot. AM learning a lot. About humility. About grace. About so very much. My eyes are still having trouble focusing - ?! - so I wont be posting much, but wanted to say THANK YOU to each of you, and please know that MY PRAYER for you all is that each be blessed triple for every prayer/action done on my behalf. Love you all.
