Three weeks out...

Hello friends ~

It's hard to believe I am a few days over 3-weeks out from my surgery.  Surprisingly I continue to be doing really well.  I feel I have turned a corner this week, partially because I have been able to move onto "mushy foods".  It's been hard to get on a schedule where I have been getting in enough protein, water, etc. and while this will be something I will always have to work on, I finally feel like I am getting a good rhythm.

Glenn and I are visiting my parents near Corpus Christi this week and having a great time.  The weather hasn't been as nice as was originally predicted, but we have still been able to get out and see some things and do some good walking. As I can now eat "mushy foods" I have been able to eat fish, steamed veggies and mashed potatoes (a very small portion of each), which has been extremely nice when eating out.

I am going back to work on Monday and Tuesday and then will take the rest of the week off to visit my parents just outside of San Antonio, their final week in Texas.  Glenn and I have had a great time with them and will be sad to see them go.  We are just so thankful they were willing to come out for so long to help us and to give us some good family time!

My posts might be less about my surgery and more about just life in general moving forward from here forward.  I will continue to give updates about my progress as there are things to report and will continue to list prayer requests as needed.  At this point, things are going better than expected, and I hope this means some of the bigger issues (ovary problems) will get under control with time as well.

My continued thanks for your prayers and concern.  I know that I am doing so great because of YOUR faithful prayers for me.

With love and a joyful heart,
~ Stephanie
