Life changes in fast time. Riding a lawnmower, laying on my back, right shoulder in pain, visit ER, visit doctor, MRI, surgery, rehab. No complaints. Just want to get this over with in order to get things back to normal.
But, things will not be as they were in some respects. The loss of the rotator cuff muscles, and the challenge of making the necessary corrections that will enable me to do most of the things that I have always taken for granted is my present course of action. This will be interesting and fun. There will be things to do in order to accomplish my goals.
I cannot complain because there are so many people out there that have much greater problems. Those that are confined to wheelchairs or worse, and those warriors that have returned from war whose bodies have been marred beyond repair. Many are disfigured beyond description, others have no way of communicating with the world around them, and many cannot see. Therefore, the loss of the couple of muscles is nothing....there are avenues of almost full recovery for me.
And I do not question God, either. He is not responsible for what happened to me...it was an accident that most likely could have been avoided had I been a bit more careful. I was not and the consequences are of my own making. God has provided the means to challenge and conquer the task of recovery and for this I am grateful. And as the Apostle Paul wrote, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4:13.
