home again.....


Well, I am back in West Chester!!!!!  YAY!  I came back Sunday afternoon and have been working from home and still recovering.  I continue to improve each day, not just physically but also my mindset about the whole situation.  I hit a few more milestones this week:
  • i can sit for extended periods of time (hooray for not laying all day)
  • i am walking with almost no limp and for longer periods of time
  • i can wear jeans again (sweatpants can only be worn for so many days)
  • i go through most of the day with NO PAIN!!!
It is nice to be able to get out and enjoy the beautiful fall weather.  In 3 weeks I was supposed to be heading back to Kenya, but instead I will be heading back to the doctors office for my next follow-up visit.  I have come to grips with this, especially since my mom continues to tell me that "Kenya isn't going anywhere".  So I have begun creating a new list of things to enjoy this fall:
  • apple picking
  • walking through a corn maze
  • hiking at Bushkill Falls 
  • a bonfire under clear skies with smores
I will continue to add to the list.......simple pleasures of this season bring me joy!  

Thanks again for your prayers for my health.  They continue to be answered.  I have appreciated those of you who have stepped in and served me with me and driving me around and helping with laundry and visiting me.  I am entering into a busy season with lots of transition and will continue to keep you updated.  

Enjoy each day and the simple delights it has to offer.
