Here I sit 10 days after surgery. The operation was quite extensive having to use different methods to secure each of the three broken bones in my wrist. It took about 4 hours but appears to have been fully successful . . . not so easy to say with a plaster splint from the second joint of my fingers to above my elbow!! Pain has been very manageable, albeit with the use of my good friend Mr. Oxycodone!!
Prayers of praise for the skill of the surgical team (they were really comforting!!) and for the fact that I'm still on a six to eight week recovery schedule! This will mean our mission trip will go as scheduled. I've been in contact with Mercy Ships and as long as my surgeon signs off, they are OK with us coming on board (we were a little concerned about this).
The schedule is becoming more real each day. This week we sold Casper, the affectionate name for the boy's high school car. Next up on the sales block is the piano!! For those of you in the local area, look for a big moving sale before we depart. We met with the property management firm and they were quite positive about renting our house at a good rate.
Yours prayers for recovery are appreciated! Feel free to drop a line if you have any questions about our schedule, mission, or the Mercy Ships organization. Also, if you haven't already done so, send us your email address if you want to receive our newsletter once we leave Minnesota. We can be reached at mtveite@gmail.com.
