Ankle replacement has dominated my thoughts. It seems each thing I did this past week linked to the thought of surgery and being in bed for a couple of weeks, immobile for 3 months. I am pretty close to feeling I don’t want that.
My right foot was the one injured. It hurts 24 hours each day. It swells. A brief glance at the surgical procedure looks like this.
The procedure takes from 4 to 7 hours. Recovery time approximately 6 months.
In church yesterday, I watched the drummer pat his foot and thought I can’t do that. Perhaps, I do want the surgery. Later this week I may hear from the Doctor in Raleigh. He will share with me if they want to do the surgery.
Here’s the deal. I will have 6 months of being uncomfortable, in pain and then the remainder of my life without pain from my foot, and less limitations. Sounds pretty good.
Building the little house burns in my sou! There will be at time of planning, choosing to eliminate immediate pleasures for a secure life debt free. This time of change also be uncomfortable. Following completion of the debt free goal and home, there will be a time of freedom from the slavery of owing others.
It is time to apply the scripture and in to be at peace in the present. I will enjoy this day. Thot for today: Prayer says Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Do you think there is pain in Heaven? Do you think there are mortgages in Heaven?
