Well, it is amazing for me to think that only three weeks
ago, we were still in a hospital room with Mandy after her second surgery. Life
post-surgery has had its ups and downs, but there has been more to celebrate
than to lament over. Mandy is out walking with Ellie a few times each day. She’s
started to go to meals in the dining hall, and today, she will attend a science
department meeting. In two weeks, she plans to return to work. All of these
every-day activities seemed so far away three weeks ago. Her scar is healing
incredibly well as you can see from the picture and her hair is growing back
rapidly.
The remaining challenges for Mandy are the occasional bad
headaches, which seem to come and go every few days, getting her energy level
back, and still the numbness and weakness on the right side of her face. Her
eye is feeling better with some new drops and gel, and the blurriness in her
vision is steadily improving. We remain confident and hopeful that a full
recovery is not too far away.
Our sights are set on our one year anniversary vacation to
Belize in June: a beach, a sunset, and an umbrella in our drinks.
Seek the Joy,
Dave
