Odie’s Six Week Surgery Update

 Hey Friends,

Earlier this week, we were still recovering from colds, but I had a post-op appointment. I called the office the day before to let them know I was sick. 

They had no other appointment openings for several weeks. I was starting to be on the mend. So the secretary advised me to wear a mask and come on in. 

Tuesday was cold but sunny. We bundled up and left the house. The beautiful sunshine was a great addition to my day. It felt good to be out and about for a little while. 

My actual doctor's appointment did not take long at all! Tuesday, I saw the other doctor who worked on my surgery. I had heard nothing but great reports about this doctor, but I had never met her. 

Dr Sharma was very kind and attentive. I was pleased, and I am glad she will be my doctor now. 

She checked my Incision, and it is healed nicely. I am not having any complications. All reports from the surgery came back great. I only have to be on one medication post-surgery.

Dr. Sharma released me from any restrictions. I am so thankful to have the surgery and problems behind me!! 

We prayed for a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery! The Lord heard our prayers and answered them! Thank you for your prayers!

Last summer, it was evident to me that I would probably be facing his surgery in the fall. I prayed, asking God to heal me, as I had been praying for a while. I also told him that if it was the right thing for me to have surgery, I would do it. If he did not want me to have the surgery to block it. If surgery was the path that I needed to pursue, I prayed that it would go well. I also prayed a lot about the recovery. I am thrilled to have it all behind me!

I am excited to enjoy 2026 to the fullest! Thank you once again for your prayers and your friendship! You all helped me through a hard time in my life!

I want to say a huge thank you to my Mom. She was my nurse support team through the whole ordeal!

See you next time. 

Odie
