148. How Did My Surgery Go & a Couple Updates | Heather Gaffney

from Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma · host Heather Gaffney - Author, Artist, and YouTuber; Storyteller, Warrior, Survivor, Thriver & Faithful Catholic

Welcome to Episode 148 of the Warrior Words podcast!   I have a very short episode for you this week. As I mentioned in a previous episode, I had an ablation for my lower back and an ankle reconstruction surgery last week. Yes, both procedures occurred less than 48 hours apart. That scheduling was actually a blessing in disguise. I am home and able to do most things. Except I can't walk. At all. No weight at all on the ankle, and the splint is huge. I'll post a photo on my community tab over on YouTube. Let me just say that my toes are freezing because none of my extra-large, super-warm socks are big enough to cover them. I am super grateful for everyone who has prayed, sent messages, helped with rides, and helped with groceries. Everything has been a blessing. I look forward to getting back to my normal routine in January.   Donate to the Star of the Sea Guild through our fiscal sponsor! https://raisedonors.com/xaviermissionfund/star-of-the-sea-guild   Armor Up.
