I am not nervous

Lately everyone is asking me if I am nervous about my upcoming double knee replacement surgery. I am not. I have done everything I can do to ensure success—the right doctor, the right hospital, the right procedure. I am doing all my exercises and reading everything they send me. I am putting my faith and trust in them and their expertise

It’s out of my hands. Yes, I am aware that many things could go wrong, but I would rather focus on what can go right. I will be able to walk and stand without pain. I will be able to walk around the block or New York or Paris and I will be able to keep up to my beautiful new grand-nephew when he learns to walk. I will be able to stand to peel potatoes or blow dry my hair. I am so excited about all these things. 

Yes, I am aware that recovery is painful. But because I manage my pain effectively (meditation is a big part of this for me) most people are not aware of the pain I live with every day and have for years. Three months of recovery pain seems like a good deal to me.

It’s down to faith and trust. I do my part and trust that others will do theirs. Most of the time this works out for me.

I have a larger faith that whatever is supposed to happen--will. The universe been good to me so far and I expect it will continue to be. That faith and trust lets me live very little anxiety or worry. 



I have faith that an excellent outcome is likely.
