A Writing before Surgery

As I lay on the operating table……I wonder what my thoughts will be Tuesday morning.

I know what I have read (documents about the surgery, the intensive eight week rehabilitation process, the purposes of undergoing a dual bicep tendon transfer)

I know what I have heard (from the surgeon, from those who have undergone the procedure, from therapist, from doctors)

I know what I have seen (the scars, their arms moving in ways I can’t move mine, medical pictures)

I believe this: this decision is the next step in progression towards my independence. I do not know what God has in store for me but I do feel this longing to push, not only myself and not only a chair, but all of you, to be stronger, more confident, more independent, to be a kinder, selfless individual.

Pray for me if you will.
