“The New Year Stands Before Us, like a Chapter in a Book, waiting to be written.”—Melody Beattie
December and January have been a tad —-well, a time of sickness.
First I got COVID, then Terry got COVID.
We got over all that in time for CHRISTMAS!!! (See blessings do abound)
Then I came down with a sudden, horrific, leg infection, rising from my ankle to my knee–swelling, turning red, full of horrendous pain— and requiring me to walk with a cane. (When I had to walk)
But thanks to a specialist, medication, and a strong will to be pain-free —those hours of laying awake in the deep of the night counting my heartbeats to see if I have enough heartbeats in my heart to keep going.
I made it.
I can walk now without a cane. My leg is starting to heal. (I’m almost pain-free right now)
The blessings have been heaped on me like rain on parched land. I am so grateful.
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

I didn’t realize that you (and Terry) had gone through so much recently. I’m glad you are both on the mend, and that your leg is getting better. Hopefully you will soon be pain-free.
