I decided to share this with others. As I go back over images of the pre-op preparation, how I felt, what I struggled with, then seeing the surgery photos in the aftermath of having my hip sliced open, split to the bone while they do carpentry on the bone on bone degenerate hip, put the Rejuv one in, use a hammer to bang the bionic in place.
Then comes the recovery, gaining twenty pounds of water weight after being hooked up to saline IV for four days. Oh yeah, then coming home with the swelling continuing for two weeks. So much so my body blistered, David and I could not sleep more than 2 hours for three weeks as I peed out the water weight. TYes, they were rough times, yet we made it through and the crisis of yesterday seems funny in the aftermath of the chaos. When I sayw this graphic I laffed out loud, said a big "YEAH!"
I share with others to affirm it is not what happens to us that defines who we become..or the outcome. It is what we decide to do about making difficult transitions into victories of strength as we do it
In one moment, instant, or not
a dream appeared, a thought, an idea
a cosmic creative moment in the mind
Comes one moment with instantaneous spark of inspiration
Ah Ha! - an exhalation, a breath, an expression
Life, light, energy
something and nothing
in and out
an incredible idea
a word spoken, or not
something seen, or not
And the scars are turned into stars
That are not the lodestar for my new lease on life.
