Today was a hard day. I am dealing with a pressure sore on my heel from
being in the boot, and I struggled to maintain a good attitude for a part of the day. But as I took time to reflect, I was able to name that three weeks ago today, I had an excision of posterior heel spur, left Secondary Achilles tendon repair, left.
This process requires severing the Achilles, shaving the bone spur, debriding the tendon to healthy tissue, and anchoring the Achilles back into the heel bone.
When I read the context, three weeks doesn’t seem so long to have ups and downs. It brings perspective to me to be kind to myself and remember that healing takes time.
I wonder where you may need some grace for yourself. So often, we find grace for others easier than offering grace to ourselves. Perhaps today, you need to remind someone about being kind, or maybe you must be reminded to be kind to yourself. May we be generous with grace given and grace received. ❤️ trish
