Hello there!
I know it's been a while - thought I would take a minute to catch up on the
last several months.
January - I spent most of that month recovering from the December 26
th--
last Chemo treatment. And at the end of the month on one amazingly icy
early morning - I witnessed the birth of my first Grandson, Soren Lind Wallace.
He is so absolutely precious. You might say - the roads were treacherous
- If only he could've been born a day or two early or a day or two later.
It was a bit scary getting to the hospital, but I would have to say God's
timing was perfect!! We are so blessed!
February and March -- Stephen and I deliberately paid attention to
what was important in these months. 1) Physical Recovery 2) Being
grandparents and 3) Ministry - small group
I spent time with an amazing personal trainer,
Michelle King from www.fitnessvitalitypt.com, who I absolutely adore. If anyone
reading this is in the San Francisco area look her up - she recently moved
there and
IS sorely missed here in
Georgia. She was instrumental in helping me with building stamina and
physical strength. Within two months the stairs did not appear to be
insurmountable - I was able to actually run up them and miss a few too! This
felt so good.
I have had the unbelievable pleasure of spending a lot of quality time with
my oldest daughter and new grandson, watching him grow and watching my daughter
be such a good mother.
Aw gosh –I love
it!!
The small group held in my home has been a breath of fresh air – I treasure
each lady in this group and am a better person for being around them.
They are truly unique and God-loving ladies!
April, May and June – were an honestly difficult for me.
I had a condition called a “frozen shoulder” -
With all the Chemo that I went through, I did not experience pain like I did
during this time.
It was terrible; after
attempting Physical Therapy and things getting a bit better, I experienced a
sudden strain, which made it even worse than to begin with.
It was then recommended that I have a
non-invasive surgical procedure to break loose the scar tissue.
This could not be done while I was awake as
it was too traumatic to the body.
–Stephen
said that was the first time he’d ever walked in to a recovery room to find the
patient crying in pain.
–It was a
battle.
It was fought hard.
I have to really thank my Physical Therapist,
Dr.
Pam
Buttram at Functional Improvements in Snellville.
She was so caring and accommodating, even
though there were times she worked with me to tears, I will never forget her
kindness and skill.
July --
Haa! – Now I will have
to say I am starting to feel more like normal.
Thank you, Lord!
I continue to
work toward Physical Strength, Pursue Ministry as God leads and enjoy the heck
out of my loving husband and family!
