No crutches needed...

March the 8th was my seventh day of not having to walk with crutches. You would think I would be thrilled to death but, it hurts to walk. Pain on each side of my foot with every step, and stiffness and swelling. Another night of not being able to sleep. I had been off this foot for three months, only able to get around by crutches and wheelchair. I decided before the sun came up that I needed to go for a drive and take some pictures of the sunrise. I knew that I wouldn't be able to walk far outside my vehicle so I made plans to take pictures from inside it. Easier said than done, leaning out the window. While I have been unable to walk, our state has been unseasonable dry. On this morning as I roll down my window to take some pictures I feel the winds and humidity on my face. It feels good even though I hate humidity. As I start to take the pictures of the sunrise, I start to count my blessings and thank God for this new day. I'm excited to see this new day dawn and the rain's come. A new start for me to walk again and push forward to recovery through therapy, and the feel of the much needed rain coming in the air. I needed this refreshing to get a grip on things the way they are. Now I can rest and heal while the land soaks up this moisture, I'll soak in God's love and healing. I whisper thank you Jesus for each trial that You've brought me through .. and sleep.

Falling...

Falling into the darkness..I see no time or space
just eery quiet blackness..
falling there's no place
to see or to hang onto
the falling never ends
I suddenly reach the landing
the pain it does not end
shoots all across the foot and leg
I hear the bones go pop
I wonder how I got to here
this darkness doesn't stop
no one here to help me up
just laying on the ground
I climb up to a small light
shining down the hall
I cry out, can anyone help?
Can anyone help me from the fall? Written by me the week after I broke my leg.
