Wow, it has been awhile since I have written! It took a lot longer to get through that surgery than I expected. I am so glad to be through with it and now I can tell you, it was all worth it.
I spent a lot of time getting ready to have this hernia surgery. It took me over a year to start the process. I was going to do this before Dad passed away and then he got sick and I had to wait. After that, I waited, for over a year. Almost too long. I was very sick when I finally had it done. I was so sick. I could barely walk, breathe or stand. I had little energy and was constantly in pain. This is a warning to those who put things off. I have learned that if you put health issues off too long you are doing nothing but putting your life in jeopardy.
Today, I am feeling so much better. I have more energy and the pain I had in my back is nearly gone. While I am not 100%, I am so much better. I can walk and stand for a much longer period of time and I have actually lost some weight. I know as time goes on thing will get even better.
Most of all, I give all glory to God for seeing me through this time. I complain a lot about my situation, but I know that He has provided for me everything I need. There have been times I have thought that I could handle things on my own. More and more I know that God is in control and that things run much smoother when I listen to Him.
