January has indeed been quite a month. We returned from California on Saturday the 3rd and checked into the Wyndham timeshare in San Antonio, Texas. We spent two very nice days (Sunday & Monday) and then came the changes. Coleen awoke early on Tuesday with incredible pain down her left side. We packed a few items, drove to Phil’s in Waco and then on Wednesday drove to Grand Prairie to the doctor. The short story is she had back surgery for a herniated disk on January 19. We cancelled all of our plans for the rest of the month and also for February. We have been staying with our good friends, Jo & David. They have been so gracious to open their home and allow me time to rest before surgery and recover after.
We have been to the doctor today, February 6, to have the staples out. Now I will have four to six weeks of physical therapy. We are heading to Waco to stay with Phil and Susan and will do the PT there. I am to have 3 one hour sessions per week. The doctor said I should be doing well by then and be back to walking and hiking. I can tell you that it sounds great. I thank everyone for their prayers during this time. The Lord is teaching me patience and I praise Him for healing and recovery. I will be doing reading and maybe some scrapbooking. No lifting or twisting. Bob has been incredible and is such a help. Will post more in a couple of weeks.
