SO WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON?

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!
