So except for writing this blog entry, I've been cleaning my home in preparation for Thanksgiving Day and for the fact that I'll be laid up for about 2 weeks because of surgery.
It's strange to have to be careful in lifting heavy objects (due to the hernia I have and will be operated for) so as not to damage anything further. However, the house is a mess, and I need to prepare of good living space for my recovery.
I'm reminded of a dear friend who went through SO much more than I will be with her son's kidney operation over this past summer. She was skilled at endearing herself to others and endorsing the help of others to the extent of making David's operation successful. She held spaghetti dinners for fundraising, an event with performing bands, little donation cups around MCC where we both worked, and even won second place at a local Touch-a-thon for a car helping out kidney disease. This past year has been one of great struggle and great success for her and her son and sister (her sister donated the kidney to her son).
So, remembering all they went through should make this 2 week inconvenience a breeze, right? Well, in some senses it will be, but I am still concerned about going under the knife. What also doesn't help is that I am still looking for a new full-time job, and my arrangement with my previous employer runs out in the middle of my recovery time.
I thought I would be re-employed by now... :-( I suppose I ought to just pray that all goes well with the surgery, and take things one step at a time...
