It has been so long (years actually) since I even felt like writing. So much has changed and yet so much has remained the same. I am still in my remission from my surgery in January 2015 - four years ago now. I have learnt to live with the lack of use of my right leg, even though I still curse at its lose. I no longer feel any great need to go into detail when people point to my brace and say "oh what happened". Initially, people seemed surprised that someone as young as I would have joint problems but that seems to be getting less and less as I age. I guess I am finally entering the senior scene and its more expected that knee and hips are deteriorating lol. Now I just smile and say "ya I had surgery" and move along. No time to go into ghastly details and no one really cares anyways. I think it is just a conversation opener.
I have started doing weddings again and it is life giving. The interesting thing is that the young couples I wed are so self absorbed they rarely if ever ask about my brace and cane. Its sort of refreshing in a way :)
I am also now the grandmother of two beautiful children. One girl and one boy. Who would have thought so many years ago that I would obtain this lofty divine office. It is the best of times in many ways . Your own children don't quiet adore you in the same way your grandchildren do. If I had the grandchildren first I might have had a dozen!
So as I said, some things change and some things stay the same. Life continues in a myriad of ways both good and bad but waking up breathing every days gives me an opportunity to do one more thing or nothing at all. My choice.
Maybe, I will continue to write . We will see what tomorrow brings :))
