Each Day is a Newbie

As you can read the next column over, Raymon is remembering the days in the hospital as the healing process continues. Every moment of clarity during those initial days of non-Raymon-ness are moments he is clinging onto as if stepping stones toward our renewed Raymon.

And as you can read, he is pretty much back.

Oh, there will be those days when he discovers that walking to the pharmacy might be too much. But a very long nap followed up with cheerful phone calls takes care of overdoing it. Make that two naps.

Tomorrow we return to the hospital. Post-op check ups by the surgeon, the "Fullerton" medical team, (oh yes, there really is a Fullerton medical team) and a whole new paperwork load to work through are on the agenda. Guess who gets to do the paperwork while he is doing fun new medical tests.

While he was in the hospital, a new department decided to join the team. Why not? So, he'll take off for an MRI as well. The metal staples have to come out before the MRI (as Raymon discusses).

Did I tell you about the Social Worker that came by? She was quite a character. I feel sure three quarters of her job is listening. We are extremely grateful that she came, listened to the maze of questions regarding the joys of dealing with all the regulations before and behind us. Her kindness is appreciated.

Anybody ever ridden in the back of a Mini Cooper? I am going to go do my Mini Cooper exercises now. The most thoughtful man ever born is picking us up and taking us to the hospital tomorrow. Raymon will stretch out in the front seat with plenty of room. I ride in the mini!

Tomorrow afternoon, our singing friend, 3 year old Audrey and her pregnant mom will pick us up after a grocery run. These friends are those who make time to give of their lives while taking wive to work, caring for child and renting a car and making sure we get to see the doctor.

This coming Sunday, we will have multiple baptisms at worship service. Please pray for these young brothers and sister. We want to be there if only for a short period.
