Six weeks after leaving the hospital, I am so much better. Restoration has been progressive with new accomplishments each day. I was able to walk leisurely for two hours, shopping, without needing to sit every two minutes. I can now walk up and down stairs with ease without being short of breath. I have no inflammation, no pain, no rash, and I am coping with the sun better. I am also slowly reducing my medications. What a journey. However, there is always that lingering fear of "going through it all again".
To overcome this fear, I have to remind myself daily that:
"Never again will I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
For the Lord is with me,
His rod and His staff, they comfort me" Adapted from Psalm 23:4
To my network of friends and family, thank you for your support. You make me who I am. To all of you going through sickness or disease, I pray that your healing and recovery will be speedy.
