I have to clear my conscience before Christmas Eve dinner. Bill & I made a promise that we would do as much by ourselves during the surgery & recovery period just to prove we can anything when we do it together. I started doing the laundry at Week 2 just like when I had surgery in May. I started driving at Week 2. I started to become the person I had always hoped to be. I worked out a system so I didnt overdo but filled my day with physical therapy using housework. Our house has been cleaned for 8 weeks, organized by throwing away broken items that we held unto. The memory is still there but the burden is gone. I was back at the shop nine days after the surgery not with Doctors okay; I wasnt missing Trick or Treat! Week 4 I came back to answer the phone on Friday & Saturday and continued to do so till Week 7 when I started doing the closing. I made Bill agree not to tell anyone because I didnt want any speeches or lectures. I needed to recover the way I knew how by working it. I never took a chance of hurting myself or the new knee. Bill & I are partners in every sense of the word. I only asked for help once and I know I could have asked a thousand times; thats the best feeling ever. To know some one had your back. I am going to enjoy every moment today & tomorrow with Bill, the dogs, & family on Christmas Day at 6:00 pm. No burdens do I carry because I did what I could do and gave every thing else away. May you find Peace & Comfort.
