I am home ~ and so thankful to be here! I just kept thinking all the way home "Praise the Lord, O my soul, all my inmost being praise His Holy Name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits." I was overwhelmed with gratitude when I saw the Welcome Home Banner and the persoanl greetings from my neighbors and friends! I can't tell you how much that lifted my spirits to know that I am surrounded by such caring and concerned friends.
We were gone just under 2 weeks. I never would have imagined we would be gone this long at the beginning of this journey. At times it seemed I would never get back to my home in the Sourthern Hills. But here I am this morning seeing the glorious view, watching the deer and antelope and breathing in the fresh clean air! Again I say, Praise the Lord!!
The ride home yesterday was pretty effortless on my part; just layed my head back, closed my eyes and slept most of the way (with the help of a couple of drugs!) I am still very dizzy from the vertigo but they are telling me that the body will adjust and I will get better. The pain from the emblolization is subsiding a bit each day and hopefully as those malformed vessels close down the dizziness will also decrease. I am told by the doctors that the blood flow is having to re-route itself again so there will be changes for quite some time. The body is an amazing thing and can compensate when needed. Again, I am so thankful this was found and treated now ~ the "other" outcome could have been devastating. I see God's hand in all of this.
Again, you all have been an invaluable support to me and to Skip. When I really get back on my feet (when I don't walk like I'm drunk) we will celebrate! Most of all thank you for your prayers!
Blessings,
Jeanne
PS Call anytime; I'm back in the the Land of the Living!!!! PTL
Wow, Jeanne! It's so awesome to see your post. We are already celebrating your return with joy, but it would be fun to have an actual party to celebrate. Now you probably just need rest, rest and more rest. Still praying that dizziness subsides quickly. Let us know if there is anything you all need. I'm sure Skip can't leave you alone and you probably don't feel like running to town if you need milk or something. Will be glad to bring it to you! Take care and we'll probably see you soon! Angie
ReplyDeleteI'm so grateful you are home, even if you do walk like you are drunk :-) This, too, shall pass! Home is the BEST place to be to recuperate and I know you will do much better in your own place. We're grateful that Joy will be there to help, but if there is ANYTHING you need I will be happy to make sure it happens!
ReplyDeleteLove you and will see you soon!
Dear Skip and Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad to hear you are home at last.
