Happy Easter!

Easter Greetings!

Although it was rainy outside, I hope your day was joyful on the inside! Our family had Easter breakfast at my house this morning and then we went to late church …. back to mom & dad’s house for Easter lunch and then we chatted together all afternoon. We had a great, relaxing day!

Overall, I am still doing well with my foot. I exercised on Saturday, which was the first time in several weeks. I biked 4 miles and then did cardio, so that was a good start. I think my operative foot is a little smaller now than the left foot …. who would have dreamed, after all that swelling. I need to stop in and say “hi” to my pt guy this week.

This week I was once again reminded how grateful I am to be able to wear a shoe. It is easy to still get frustrated with what I cannot wear, but then I remind myself that at least I can wear most shoes …. believe me, I find cute shoes that work and make for happy feet.

As we were waiting for church to begin this morning, my mom found this small notepad in her purse. On the first page of the notepad was a list of people (and times) that called her when she was waiting alone during my transplant surgery in San Antonio. There was a long list of people that called and most calls were every 5-6 minutes a part. Lots of old & current friends, but all people that we thinking & praying for us on that May day. That day was an early Monday morning, so I was always surprised that anyone remembered …. Nonetheless, we will be forever thankful.

I have several more weeks before I need to begin taking iron, drinking a glass of OJ & eating a banana each day in preparation for the hip surgery.

Hoping for sunshine this week!

Blessings and greetings! Sounds like Easter was some rain and a lot of eating in your part of the world! SO glad that you are supported both now, in the past, and in the future orthopedic endeavors that you face and have faced over the years. We love you & continue to pray for you. SO glad, too, on a rather other note...that you have CUTE SHOES and can actually WEAR them and SHOP for them and ENJOY them instead of just envy them on others and on display in the stores. L Jo
