Stormy night

A bright but chilly and windy day.

I was really surprised when I looked out the back window and saw that garden chairs and a large double seat and table had been blown over. I had no idea that it had been as windy through the night. Fortunately, no damage had been done.

During the night, I had experienced considerable pain from my wound. Something I had not mentioned before, partly because I really don't want this to be a 'poor me' Journal and partly because I can't believe it has happened, but I have had an extremely painful chest infection since the  operation. The combination of both has been hard to bear but I reflected on what the apostle Paul heard from the Lord, after asking God three times to set him free from searing pain - "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." It is a sobering thing to hear but it certainly has given me the ability to see me through the next couple of weeks.

I am thankful that, despite everything, my pacemaker seems to be working fine.
