I go into the hospital for hip replacement surgery February 11th. My gait gives it away to onlookers. I have been hobbling for some time now. It began with a simple pain that worsened into a constant ache. It’s reminiscent of my condition about a decade ago. It was my left hip then. The only time it didn’t hurt was when I rode my Harley. No Harley these days and the ache is nonstop.
I had thought I could postpone this surgery until December. I have workshops already committed to and didn’t want any interruptions. But my body called and fortunately, there was a window of opportunity that fit me, the surgeon and my workload. So if you have time on Thursday to blow a prayer my way, I’d appreciate it.
Actually, I have no fear. I think having been through it before helps, of course, but I also have the faith needed to know that there is a perfect outcome. Whatever my situation might be following surgery, I will be in good hands, as well as God’s hands. Having constant contact with God, a gift that I have nurtured for decades, pays off.
As I tell sponsees and friends all the time, we are always prepared for the experiences that wear our names. Believing that has allowed me to live free of anxiety. As I told a friend today who has made a big change in her life, she is embarking on a sweet adventure. Every day is a sweet adventure, for all of us, whether we are doing the same dance or a new one. Aren’t we a lucky bunch of people? I sure think so. Thanks for visiting my blog. I love our friendship.
Aw, this was a really great post. In theory I’d like to write like this also – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done
You completed certain nice points there. I did a search on the matter and found most people will go along with with your blog.
Wow! Thank you! I constantly needed to write on my site something like that. Can I implement a fragment of your post to my site?
Yes you can but I do want to be credited. Karen Casey:www.womens-spirituality.com

My friends and I Are keeping you in our prayers
Good luck with your surgery today. I’m not religious, but I’ll send good thoughts your way and hope that they land gently…
I will certainly send prayers your way on Thursday. If you happen to be at NCH downtown, I may see you Monday, if you are still there. I volunteer with pastoral care each Monday.
Good luck and God bless.
