| Tell me what you know about this building, soon, OK? thx |
I must say
presence-building because I am moving just ever so slowly.
You may have
been reading my blog for a while. If so, then you know that I’ve been ‘ill’.
And that I am
now recovering. I am so very grateful.
I have learned
a great many, important things about recovery.
First of all:
it’s long. Recovering from brain surgery is quite different from recovering
from the flu, a cold, a bad headache, or even a stomach virus.
For sure.
Recovering
from the brain surgery involves my brain recovering from the injury, my skull
recovering from the incision, my lower body recovering from the overall
reaction to the stroke and the surgery.
Right.
On April 13,
2016, I had a stroke, brought about by the rupture of an aneurysm. Oddly, I had
just been reading about such cases, in the last few months of 2014.
These days, I
have read much, much more.
I do not
intend to continually bore you with information about my recovery and the
experience that brought it on. However, I am convinced that the information I
share with you is is great importance.
So, I won’t
stop anytime soon.
On the
other hand, I would like to share with you other parts of my recovery. I refer
to my life these days as only recovery.
Because...
That is all
that I am doing these days. I dare not make a list of chores for the day, or
errands to run, or people to visit.
Any simple
thing like going to the thrift store, the dollar store, the drug store and
then, the grocery, all in one coupla-hour span, is out.
That’s right,
out.
I have been
amazed at many of the experiences I have --had during recovery. Some
have—seemingly—come and gone, while others linger just yet.
Of those that
linger are, memory and full-body energy, making afternoon lethargy a companion.
It happens at different times of the day, but comes really hard and heavy
around 3:00 p.m.
Don’t get me
wrong, it comes in the too, but really puts me to bed in the afternoon.
There are
several reasons that continue to push me back to the computer, at least every
Sunday, anyhow.
One of which:
I sincerely see every opportunity to fulfill my call to ministry, where my
focus is on LivingWellMinistries. It
may not sound like a lot to you, but to me it is a lot.
I will stay
much more present.
Another
reason, I feel deprived, myself, when I don’t post.
That is not
good.
So, for
tonite, this is where we will end. I will be with you again next week
Sunday—the first one of March, and we’ll take off.
Sincerely,
Your Friend,
SandraTeresa Davenport
