Safely in Ft. Lauderdale

Today we arrived safely in Ft. Lauderdale.  Lots of traffic and rain.  But it was nice knowing the route and having no problem finding my classmate's parish.  I slept most of the way so the trip wasn't all that bad for me.

It is a huge blessing having my classmate, Fr. Wilfredo, house Jim and I again.  It has been so easy to get settled in and comfortable.  He had a frozen pizza waiting for us and plenty of goat cheese to cover it with.  Mmmmmmmmm, the simple pleasures of life.

Tomorrow is the big follow up appointment where I will find out what will happen next.  I know you all are praying for them to schedule surgery and get this taken care of once for all.  I am too.  We'll see what happens.  I promise I will write an update tomorrow when I find out what will happen next.

Counting down to follow up visit

Hi Everyone! Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  It has really helped.  One of the things I observed when I started concelebrating Masses was how patient you all are with me.  So many of you expressed your prayers and concern for me and simply want me to get better and to do whatever it takes to get well again.  Thank you so much for this!  I could not have possibly dreamed of asking for more. So physically what has life been like lately.  Well, one word: pain.  Yesterday I ran errands up in Tallahassee and paid a price for it.  A good amount of bleeding and a ton of pain when I got back home.  I think what adds to the suffering is the fatigue of hurting like this.  But oh well. I am getting more excited about heading to my follow up appointment.  Jim and I know what to expect and how things are, so in a way it will be a lot easier.  I hope and pray they will do the surgery next week that will solve everything...

recovery from big day

Wednesday evening I celebrated Mass at St. Elizabeth.  It was good to do, but it was way more painful than I thought it would be.  I was hoping it wouldn't be so bad so I could take over the weekday Masses at both places again, but unfortunately, that will have to wait.  I am planning on concelebrating Masses at both parishes this weekend.  Hopefully that will be more manageable. So yesterday I slept most of the day and I feel very tired and weak today.  It isn't fun feeling like this especially since it is so beautiful outside.  I would love to be on a tractor right now or tending a burn pile... anything productive outside would be a dream. It is so frustrating, but then I looked at my calendar and realized that it was only 2 weeks since my surgery.  It feels so much longer, probably because of the flu.  Ahhhhh, patience. I am so grateful that everyone else seems to understand my situation better than I do.  I feel so guilty at times f...
