April 12, 2019. Madison, Mississippi. Recovery.

Ken once commented that getting well is like watching paint dry. David has found it to be the same. All his life, he has been. blessed with high energy so if a task needed to be accomplished, he was up to the job. If a task needed to be completed, he stuck with it until the job was done, even when he might feel weary. But when you are recovering from surgery you must do the opposite. If you get tired you must rest. The whole mind set is different. And irritating to David. But he is doing well. He reports that he is doing much better than two weeks ago and even has some energy. He is going into work for a couple of hours each day. And he is sleeping well at night which is unusual for him. Sleeping has always been difficult for David. He thinks that with two more weeks he will be ready to go. The Doctor admonished hime to go slowly and he is doing just that. Moose, David's dog is loving having David as a house husband. Ever since David came home from the hospital Moose never leaves David's side. He stays beside the chair when David is reading and beside the bed when David is taking a rest. Moose knows that something is not right with David and he wants to help by staying close. Dogs are clever like that. So Moose is the only family member who has been pleased with the recovery. But all the rest of the family are pleased that David is recovering so well. Praise be to God.
