A Week

It is amazing how our bodies can heal in just one week. Eight days ago I was in New England, sitting in a hospital room. My son was one day out of major surgery, feeling bad. One week later he is up and about, healing well and shopping in a supermarket. Sometimes our attitudes have a great deal to do with our healing. His surgeon gave him a timeline. Painkillers would be used for three days. Appetite would be less for a week. Walking would be done from day 2 on. The doctor knew exactly how my son's body would react to this surgery and how long it would take to get back to normal. He was right on target.
