Goal: Rest!
My best friend went back to Ohio last night. I am so thankful that she had an opportunity to visit! The visit was hectic as she had things to attend to, but the feel of joy, relief, belonging, and love were present at all times.
For both of us, this visit was a refueling of sorts. She needed a break from the stressors of the new environment in which she is in, and I needed to be reminded as to why I needed to continue to stick around. The initial hug said it all - relief! Relieved to finally be in one-another's presence.
The few days we spent together were very full: night at the Bonaventure, drive up the coast, light shopping, late movie nights at the house, heart-to-heart conversations, breakfast w/ the girls, and finally, the dinner before her flight home. Good times!
Tonight I am at my mom's as I have yet another doctor's appointment tomorrow. I am very prayerful that the bottom of my frame will be removed tomorrow. I had a big let down two weeks ago as it was not removed as I was first told. If the bottom of my frame is removed tomorrow, I will feel I am one step closer to finally getting this thing off. I feel my anxiety rising again, but I am still hopeful. With fingers crossed, I log off!
Yes, that visit was all love. I'm trying to hang on to the goodness. You are so beautiful and have been so resilient through all of this. I didn't know what to expect either, but it didn't matter because love took over and it was like old times again (just moving a little slower! - ha). I am sorry to hear that they didn't warn you about the pain of the brace coming off (they havent' been very good about giving you heads up, have they?) I pray this period of pain comes to a quick end soon, also, because the reality is that now that the bottom is off, real progress is being made. Love you and miss you unbearably already! Hold steady...
