The weekend was slow and quiet. Days blur into one another and things stand out. Like sunshine on my face. And a long hot shower. And Andrea Bocceli singing Nessun Dorma at the Olympics.
Nothing feels normal yet. No reading or writing or stitching, but I know it will come with time. Until then, there are lots more moments and miracles to collect and enjoy.
I am so...grateful.
Thinking of you every day and sending thoughts to ease anxiety, for quick healing and patience to accept your new norm. You are so strong and you can handle all this!!!! A great partner sure helps and you defiantly have one!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent plan Coni. Prayers continue ❤️ 🙏 ♥️
ReplyDeleteKeeping you in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts and prayers Take care and you will get back to the things you love to do.
ReplyDeleteToo soon to feel normal, that will come. Sending you healing thoughts. Didn't Bocceli just give you goose bumps?
ReplyDeleteYou are strong, you have a new kidney to prove that. That inner strength will grow and you'll find your new normal. I continue to keep you in my prayers.
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteEmbracing a sudden "new normal" is very challenging! And we all know that you have the inner strength to do just that but it takes time and patience. And lots of love and prayers and virtual hugs from those of us who love you! One day at a time, Coni. Sometimes one step, one task. sometimes a good cleansing cry! Much love

ReplyDeleteConi: I have read your blog for years, but haven’t commented. But, I went into the hospital the end of July for a hysterectomy and came out with the bag—totally unexpected. Those who don’t have a bag really do not know how this changes one’s life. I don’t go out much due to possible leaks. I am having reversal surgery on Thursday (2/12). So am hoping to be closer to normal. I am praying for you. It is an adjustment. Feel free to to contact me if you want. Marj Oliver Mellon.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteStill remembering you daily in my prayers. I heartily agree with you that the "Nessun Dorma" was glorious. I was in another room when he began singing and raced to the den to watch. It is one of my favorite tenor arias. I am hoping you have a quiet day of healing. Take care! Phyllis in NC
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and sending lots of prayers. You can do this!
ReplyDeleteThanking my higher power today for my daughter's passing a kidney stone that required a day in the ER and a couple more days of intense pain. Thankful also for your sharing with us and wishing you healing and hope.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers every day. This is a huge change for you, and it makes sense it will take awhile to adjust. Be gentle with yourself. Wishing you comfort and peace.

Even in the darkness, we can see the Light and feel God's Healing Touch. Hang on Coni.
