Sorry I’ve been gone so long. After surgery and recovery, I guess I hoped to forget all this for a while.
I am back to almost normal health and activity. I returned to volunteering at the hospital in December. My energy level is gradually getting back to normal. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to gradually increase my exercising. I’m slowly beginning to follow my Tai Chi DVD.
Each time I go out with Andrew I try to increase my laps of walking round the pool. It’s too cold for swimming laps! Besides the pool cover is still on. (I’ll get back to swimming when spring comes.) Another resolution is to spend more time Writing – so bear with me.
One of the main reasons for not writing was some minor physical abnormalities Dr. F was concerned about. One resolved itself; the other is still a work in process. There has been some redness around the surgery sight that 2 doses of antibiotics have not cleared. I will see Dr. C. Later this week and will probably have a needle biopsy at the site. They seem more worried about it that I. If there is cancer there, it will probably mean more chemo or radiation. Somehow I’m not concerned about it. I’ll deal with it when the time comes.
This promises to be a good year and I’m looking forward to whatever is ahead.
Over the holidays, Jill was here and she and I travelled to College Station, Houston, and Rosesharon. We saw most of the family except David’s. Being a priest at the Holidays doesn’t leave much room for visits. Besides all the extra services, one parishioner dies and a memorial service was added to his already busy schedule. Our new temporary bishop is the former bishop of David’s Diocese. In fact, Bishop Ohl was the one who installed David at St, Barnabas in Odesssa; I mentioned to him I wished David could move back to this diocese. His response was he was needed more in Northwest Texas: so much for a mother’s desires.
I wish you a blessed New Year and many joys and much love.
