I am back. I can not paint yet so Mr. Bear will have to do that while I heal a little bit more. But the surgery is done, the drains came out about an hour ago ...so now it will be ice packs and physical therapy and I should be back to painting daily soon.
I got courage from the comments and well wishes I received. I read them in the hospital and again at home. It gave me great comfort.
What I have learned so far :
You can do things you don't think you can as long as other people give you a helping hand.
I am so glad you are home and that is behind you. Now you can heal, heal, heal. I know you will be painting soon. We miss you but we also want you to take care of yourself. Rest, heal..........sending blessings your way.
ReplyDeleteI know can you believe it. I really didn't think I could do it but I did. With tons of help of course.
DeleteJo, I am sending you tidal waves of strength, courage and healing... and wishing you peace as your body does its miraculous thing. You've got this.

Thank you Brenda. I am trying to rest and also stay active enough to not loose where I was before the surgery. It is a fine line but I will find my way.
DeleteHi Jo, I was wondering why you hadn't posted paintings on Daily Paintworks lately & now I know why. I hope you recover quickly from your surgery and are able to get back to the painting soon. I do enjoy your work which you clearly take much joy in :) Hope all goes well & you have a smooth, speedy recovery
ReplyDeleteYes, Theresa it took a full on double mastectomy for me to stop painting. But no cancer and no worries. But I would not stop painting for anything less. Because I Iove it and because I am stubborn.
DeleteHave a warm sunny rest-filled Easter, brave lady!
ReplyDeleteI will . Thank you. I have a lot of things to look forward to.
DeleteI'm so happy that you are speeding back to perfect health! You'll be painting better than ever in no time:))))))
ReplyDeleteIt is going to take a bit more time than I thought but I am doing very very well. Have you completed your move to the States?
DeleteJo, I have missed your wonderful paintings and wondered where you were so I visited your site from my list of sites I follow and found out you have had surgery. I hope all is much better now and please know that when your lovely watercolors are not around the art world is less colorful. Sending positive energy and prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marcia . I had my surgery two weeks ago and I am healing well. My spirit feels bit "cracked'. I think if I can start painting it will return. Your kind words sure do help. I have been in the "head space" of "why bother " and " Who cares". This is not my usual thought pattern. Usually I am all about "Let's go". I like my inner coach not this voice I currently have of malaise.
