It's good to be back to work again after my surgery. I still leave early if I get tired, and the church has no problem with that. They are so flexible and have been so very good to me. I don't think they really care as long as the work is done LOL.
Well, I'm sure they care. They wanted somebody they could trust and they know they can trust me by now. I haven't let them down with my work. The bulletin has always been ready and available every Sunday morning. And I get along with everyone and some I have even grown close to. *God knows what he is doing*
I enjoy my job. I get to read The Word of God every day and try to apply it to my life! Sometimes I have to dig deeper - which is a good thing! I can be creative with the newsletter. One of my favorite things to do if I'm not stressed with the deadline LOL.
All in all, 6 months after my lung surgery I am doing well. My personality is back - for the most part. I think I lost some of myself there for a while. I still have pain on my left side, inside and out and it's numb and feels weird. Normal and I don't know how long that will last. My hemoglobin is still on the low side - I'm anemic - hopefully that is something that I will recover from as the months go on. That's the reason I'm so tired, my oncologist said. I have another order for blood work next month and appointment with oncologist after that to see what my numbers are doing. Hopefully hemoglobin will be rising.
What's it like to breathe with one lung? I have actually been asked this question. The same as you with two LOL - I just get tired faster and have to rest. I don't think I'll be doing the "Rocky Run" up the stairs! I don't know if I will be able to do any heavy, long-term physical work again. But I can breathe just like people with two lungs. When I am resting or being normal there is no difference. Only when I get too physical, I may have to rest more often.
I am grateful. I am blessed. I have joy now that I didn't have before. I have changed a lot in the last 3 years. Many struggles and sadness. But, I have so much to be thankful for.......my husband, my daughter and grand kids, my family, my friends, my silly Poodles......and God.
