Sunday Matters: Look! I’m back!

Sunday Matters

Hello, all! I returned to the office this week after working from home since January 10th. Recovery has its ups and downs but now the good days are outweighing the bad ones so I appear to be headed into the right direction. I’m cautious though because every time I get too cocky about recovery, something knocks me down.

My first week back in the office went fairly well. The parking situation is not great so I am still getting winded on my way back to the car. It will get better once the pulmonary embolism is fully cleared.

Right Now:

Headed to student ministry for the morning through early afternoon.

This Week:

Nothing special this week. I’m trying to limit my extracurricular activities to preserve energy.

Reading:

Hmmm. I am STILL reading Tom Lake! I really like it but I’ve been reading it since I was in the hospital. I don’t seem to be making much progress. I guess I am still too distracted but I want to finish it before moving on to something else.

Grateful for:

My ability to get in and out of the shower again! I was unable to for so long, without help. This entire journey has been a very humbling experience.

A Little Update

Hello, friends!! I miss you all so much. I’m still struggling a little bit. I keep reminding myself how bad off I was say, two months ago, because it’s important for me to see progress in my recovery. But I keep getting sidelined by unexpected complications.

I’m still being treated for that pulmonary embolism that hit on Valentine’s day, but the treatment for that has caused some internal bleeding. I’m waiting for my CT scan to see if I can come off of that treatment. But that scan isn’t until mid-May.

As for the craniotomy recovery, I feel that is going well. I return to the office on April 16th, barring any surprises that come up.

I’m close to getting back into reading. I feel it. But anytime I pick up a book I quickly lose interest. That’s not typically like me.

I hope you are all well. I think once I get back to a normal day-to-day routine I will be on here more. Miss you!
