So this morning I got an e-card from a friend that made me truly smile for the first time since Thursday. She shared a poem and a little bit about her father, who lost his battle with cancer years ago. It was exactly what I needed to raise my spirits! Here is the poem…
Perseverance
When all the world is looming dark
And things seem not so clear,
When shadows seem to hover ‘round
Lord, may I persevere.
When it seems everything’s been tried
And there’s no way to go,
Just let me keep remembering
Sometimes the journey’s slow.
I may just need to stop and rest
Along the path I trod,
A time to try to understand
And have my talk with God.
As I gain new strength to carry on
Without a doubt or fear,
Somehow I know things will be right,
And so, I persevere.

As far as my recovery, they removed the urinary cath, but I have been having to intermittently self cath to make sure my bladder empties. That seems to be improving. I’m sure that the numbness of my belly is not helping, but again, seems to be improving. I’m still swollen enough that I’m still in PJs all the time. =o) I got some new cute ones the other day! This week I’m going to work on my endurance so hopefully I can return to work. I’ve let this whole thing get me too far down, and I’m sick of sitting around waiting.

Thanks for your support -
Dear Lisa; Sounds like you are going through a tough time with your recent surgery. I hope you will be feeling better soon as it seems you want to get back to your daily activities but you aren’t sure how you will have the energy to do that. Of course time is your friend so don’t rush your moments to heal. Thanks for that lovely poem that you passed on to us. I will definately keep that one posted in my office. You did really well girl so keep up your positive side. Weezie from Canada eh.
I’m glad that someone could lift your spirits. You really have to dig and dig deep to find the positives; I’m pleased that you are doing just that.
My prayers are with you.
