(I almost fell out of my chair!) :pI agree with Jimmy...I watched some videos on recovery after mastectomy on youtube yesterday morning...you just have to listen to your body...don't fight its healing process. I am always blown away when I think about how God wired us and created us with processes in place for life's challenges. <br /><br />The best mornings/evenings of all around here are the ones where all 3 of our girls end up in our bed with us...Layla too sometimes :) It doesn't happen as often now that Kendal lives in the dorm...they need you near them too right now. <br /><br />Keep RESTING :)pattismithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-24575879850416089892012-03-25T08:27:44.265-05:002012-03-25T08:27:44.265-05:00Complex is a really good adjective for this one......Complex is a really good adjective for this one...and I actually meant Janie having to stand on her own.

It's like a quick read for me. :)<br /><br />I hope things are better with you and your blessing! Do you still have her phone?<br /><br />Thank you for all of your comments today. I walked a mile and a half this morning, and helped my girls get Clay's birthday party ready, but when the party started, I sat in a chair with my feet up for 3 hours!! I still feel like I am one step forward, two steps back. But Jimmy said, no you are two steps forward and one step back! Anyway, here it is 8:00, and I am in the bed with two of my girls. I plan to read until I get sleepy....I am resting! :)Roanhttp://www.joyfuljohnsons.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008560569188093094.post-15954693972113988072012-03-24T12:04:28.798-05:002012-03-24T12:04:28.798-05:00I enjoyed your honest review.
