Day 4

 "..God has raised him up to be a leader and savior, to give repentance and forgiveness of sins..." Act 5:27

"Anyone who believes in the son has eternal life, but anyone who refuses to believe in the son will never see life". John 3:31

Jesus gives life because he gives joy, passion and direction. With Jesus we can face life's challenges. He gives us a reason to live. Jesus has also said that unless we receive him in the Eucharist we will not have life in us. It reads like that without Jesus we will not have the fullness of life. I suppose that living without him is like being divorced from loved ones. It's a miserable way to exist.

A big improvement in my foot today. I'm walking without pain with the "boot". I think its important to keep active but not 'overdo it'.

I'll have to get in touch with the After Hours Med Centre today to get a new assessment as the nurse there put me in the "boot" for the 'chip' after the doctor gave me just a week off. The "boot' means I can't go to work until I get a medical clearance which could be a month or more. I can also go back to ACC and hopefully reclaim some of my money I paid them when I ran a business as my leave will probably not cover a month off. So it goes.

Have fun; Jesus wants you too.

Day 3 after the fall.




On Monday (day 1) I needed to replace my security camera after charging it. As the ladder started to topple I leapt off landing on my left foot squarely on a concrete garden surround. There was ankle swelling and a very sore heel bottom. An xray revealed a possible very small splinter at the back of the heel bone. The nurse seemed to think it significant and so I'm in a moon boot for a few  weeks. Personally I think I'll be fine once the sole of my heel recovers from the impact.

Today is the first day of walking again; if you call hobbling around in a moon boot with a walking stick that!

TC just dropped off some nice shoes. He quipped I wouldn't need both! Thanks TC, they are very good shoes.

Off to Mass at noon.

Have fun and don't sin. Especially not big ones!
