Just got home a few days ago from being in hospital/rehab for a month after surgery. After having a feeding tube, not being able to talk and being confined to a wheelchair/walker I am thankful BUT the hardest part of it all is recovery during the next 5 months.
It's not easy when you're doing it alone day in and out trying to be strong. It's tough when you can barely walk just to do the simplest things. Or when few people call and no one comes by. You become an afterthought because in reality as long as it's not you going through it, why should you stop by and see about that person who is dealing with it. Then you realize who you really have in your corner.
I'm always the strong one making sure that everyone else is okay. And I wasn't going to post this because I know I'm still strong. But sometimes you have to say it. Sometimes you have to speak up before you go under. Well...been home now going on a week. Just thought I'd share.
For me this is a reminder of how delicate life is and to never take it for granted.
"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so".
