Sneaker Day

This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice in it and be glad.  I went to my follow up Dr. appointment today.  It went well.  Dr. is very happy with the implant being healed and settled in placement.  My color is good, and the incision looks great.

He said I can wear my sneaker at home but in public wear the boot for three more weeks.  Plus, no more crutches or walker.  Now I can start learning to walk with my regular shoe and being more conscious of my walking, so I don’t limp so much.

This healing journey has taught me so much.  We can’t compare ourselves to others.  How one heals doesn’t mean it’s how I will heal.  What one person faces isn’t what another faces.  As individuals we can face similar situations, but each situation is unique to you.

Therefore, don’t judge someone’s healing process according to yours because each one of us have different situations.

I know acceptance comes from God not people.  My doing doesn’t make me accepted.  I used to volunteer for everything and wear myself out.  I learned after my fourth hip replacement you can’t over do its not blessed because it’s of the flesh it’s works not faith.

It is well with my soul because God’s plan is best for me.  I’m thankful that in this recovery time God opened the door for this blog and it’s reaching people.  I’m thankful for the support I’ve received from family and friends.  Good news is I’m healing and learning through this recovery season.

Have a good day.

If you’re in recovery having a support system is essential to healing. God is the ultimate healer and he uses us to support one another through personal and organized recovery systems.

When in recovery finding a support system that works with you is beneficial. Depending on the recovery will determine the type of support system needed. Whether it’s a faith-based group or a 12-step program, medical help, and or counseling, family and friends etc. If you can be honest and accountable it will be a beneficial support for you.   There are excellent support systems and healthcare facilities available for all different problems it’s important to be open to getting help.

Jeremiah 30:17 states, “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds.” Whatever your wounds are God has a healing for you.  Be open to getting help. And willing to do the work involved in healing.
