Time Stands Still

I have been really doing well in my recovery from my recent bowel obstruction and hospitalization.

I feel like I took an actual beating; I was so weak and tired. I have been home almost two weeks and although I still need to lie down and close my eyes or actually nap each day, I continue to do more and feel stronger as time ticks away. I do want to share with you how I felt from the moment I became ill until now. The best way to explain it is “time stood still.” It was as if my experiences were so recent that it had only been a few days, not 19 years, since my last very serious obstruction and hospital stay. The only difference is that I did not need surgery this time which was a blessing for me. My track record, as this new doctor/ surgeon explains it, is so very poor for recurrence, that he was determined not to operate unless I was in grave danger. For that I tip my hat off to him, since this would just add to my set-backs. It was as if it was 20 years ago and the pain was so real and familiar that I was dreading the outcome.

I am home, strong, and improving each day and want to share with you that, I still know firsthand what it is like to “walk that mile in your shoes”.  I understand, and still feel I can speak on your behalf. I remember as if it was yesterday, oops, it practically was.
