Birthday Goodies

Hello everyone. Yesterday was a little harder with the recovery process but I survived and today is a new day. I do feel decent today. Exhaustion and all over body soreness is the biggest thing I am dealing with.

Yesterday was my birthday. It was pretty okay considering recovery. My mom blessed me with a beautiful card and gift card. My husband also gifted me one of the prettiest cards I truly ever have seen. It had an actual little frame and ribbon on it. I loved it. The card had such a beautiful writing and meaning as well. Along with some flowers for me to enjoy from my bed and another gift card it was a perfect happy for me. 

Our Assistant Pastor Wife brought a meal for us last night and it was delicious. It was Ranch Chicken on top of potatoes and topped with crumbled bacon, corn and an Oreo Layer Dirt Cake dessert. She also gave me a birthday happy! It was such a nice blessing. 

Our daughter, Hannah, has been coming over after work to help her dad get meals served and clean the kitchen. She also fixes my plate and then visits with me a little. She works really hard long days, so I appreciate her to doing this. She had already taken me for a pedicure before my surgery, but she surprised me with my favorite mini cake from Nothing Bundt Cake (Carrot Cake) and gifted me some Bath and Body Works. It was so sweet and such a surprise!

I haven't eaten the cake yet because we were gifted that Oreo dessert from our sister from church. So, I will enjoy the little carrot cake later today. 

To be honest, I am not able to eat much truly. I have been doing very light and soft foods. Scrambled eggs in the morning, soup for lunch and whatever someone brings (our church is doing a meal train for us for a few days) for dinner. I will eat a small portion of the dinner provided. I have to be careful due to many digestion issues certain foods can cause that cannot be good on my tummy during this time. 

Today has been a little blah to be honest. I had to get out of this bedroom. I have been walking a little around the home to prevent blood clots and etc. but I just needed some sun. I hobbled outdoors for about 5 minutes to enjoy some warmth and sun. I looked a little at my new Victoria magazine. It has so many beautiful pictures! I couldn't focus to read it much though.

I have lot of things swirling in my head on how to survive the next few weeks being down. I will share with you all tomorrow. 

I am daily enjoying my special devotion time with the Lord in the morning. 

My summer Bible Study is by Daily Grace Co. It isn't overly complicated and the message is what I need right now. 

I am also going through this book above. :) I also love these daily little devotionals I get from Revive Our Hearts. 

I am having a hard time concentrating while reading but I am going to keep this a priority because in the end it will be beneficial!!! 

I hope you all have a good day!
