It is now two weeks since I got to kiss and talk to my Sweetie for the first time after her surgery. I see lots of progress. I am encouraged with how well she is doing.
I have found it interesting to hear her mention that she still senses that her heart is beating with some irregular beats, similar to what it did prior to the surgery. She was told that it would take time for her heart to adjust. Prior to surgery, the adjustment in the heartbeat was one of the ways that the heart compensated for the reduced efficiency. It has done that for many years. It will take time for a new regular heartbeat pattern to become the new norm. It is almost as if the heart must learn to function in its suddenly changed state of improved efficiency. Hearing this has once again reminded us of the miraculously intricate nature of the bodies that God has created.
Her ability to walk has increased substantially over the past week Her appetite has improved. So progress in being made in many areas.
Kathy-Lu has enjoyed some short visits with friends. Because she had company, I was able to take the opportunity to do some errands and even attend a meeting. Being able to do this is another sign that she is advancing on the path to healing and wholeness.
Thanks for checking in. I will look forward to sharing another glimpse into the recovery process next week.
