Rough few days ....

Things have not gone so well the past several days, as there are complications that have developed related to healing. It is hard to explain at the moment as I'm not sure on all the details as to what is happening with the incision. I do know that it is not a good situation. We may need to return to San Antonio in the next 2-3 weeks. The TX surgeon has been very helpful with responding to e-mails this week, but it is a hard with the distance ... no driving to his office for him to see it. The Texas doctor did say today that he will see this through and he very much desires to continue to help ... that was comforting.

As with any surgery if the area does not heal, nothing else matters. I've always said that it is about 50% surgeon skill and 50% healing ability ... it takes both for it to be a success.

I'm in more pain with the foot now than I've been in the past four months, so pray for relief, wisdom, and acceptance that we still have a long road ahead. Just when you think things are coming to the end or close, it doesn't always turn out that way. It is all in God's hands, but clearly where I thought we were headed with this looks like His path is different. It will all work out, but more strength and endurance will be needed.

Probably will see the STL orthopod on Monday & get his advice. Will share more when I figure out the next step ... hope you are enjoying the sunshine this weekend!
