Recovery

It's been many moons again and I am sorry for those who follow this blogspot.

I am laid up with the recovery phase of a hammer-toe. The surgery was successful i think and soon(ish) I will see how the new toe works. April 1 I get the wire out - perhaps. Osteopenia and possibly osteoporosis will mean that bone mending is slower than normal.  Then there is also the fact that I am not the 23 year olf that lives so actively in my head.



I have been reading and want to share something about Letting Go.
