I didn’t get the chance to write this post last week, so we
are slightly past the 10 year mark at this point, but I still want to
commemorate it.
10 years ago, I was recovering from what would turn out to
be the first of three surgeries that year.
I never healed right after the first one, and it wasn’t until the third,
late in September, that I actually recovered.
It was a long road and one that I am very glad to be looking at in the
rear view mirror. If you want to read
about it, you can head back through the archives to 2006.
It is amazing to me just how much I have recovered. A couple of years later, I spent six months
doing Crossfit (and wish I could find an inexpensive way to go back to doing
two or three days a week). Obviously, in
2010, I started running and doing mud runs.
While I wouldn’t say I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m certainly in
much better shape than I was that year.
And it was a long year.
When you are constantly sick and not really getting better, it is
discouraging. But God brought me through
and now I’m on the other side marking an anniversary.
In some ways, it is very hard to believe it’s been 10
years. So much of that year is so vivid
in my mind. In other ways, when I think
about all that has happened in the previous decade, it’s easy to believe it was
10 years ago.
Here’s to another healthy decade.
