Day 652 – Hospital Recovery, Life Lessons Learned The Hard Way – Wisdom Unplugged

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 652 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Hospital Recovery, Life Lessons Learned The Hard Way – Wisdom Unplugged Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 652 of our trek and time for the 5th installment of a special series of stories that will chronicle my recent accident and recovery as we trek “Life Lessons Learned the Hard Way.” This accident is a major life event that will change life for me for several months to come. In fact, I would say that it will certainly impact me for the remainder of my life. It is my hope and prayer that as I share that it will also positively impact your life as well. I have often said, we must accept and live life as it truly is, not as we wished it to be. We don’t always know or understand what will become of the uphill climbs and treacherous downhill slopes that we encounter on life’s trek. The key is to learn from these events and allow them to effectively become part of our living legacy which will positively impact our lives and the lives of all those who we impact. So for the next couple of Wisdom Nuggets episodes, we will look at&#8230; Hospital Recovery  &#8211; Life Lessons Learned the Hard Way It is my hope to get caught up to current on all my podcast episodes and journal this coming weekend so that the release dates correspond to the actual date they are released. If you would like to catch the first three episodes of this series, go to Day 645,  Day 647, and Day 650. I ended Day 650, which was my story of the surgery, with the somber thought that not only could the accident have been fatal if I had landed on my head, but both during surgery, and an episode afterward, my pulse had dropped to zero for a few moments.  We really do need to treasure each day of life and make the most impact possible as we live out our living legacy each day. Sunday night after surgery was not a very good night of sleep as I was still in pain, and my mind wandered to the two episodes where my pulse had dropped. I dozed off and on, but between the monitoring, lab work, and my roommate&#8217;s loud snoring, I did not achieve significant rest. Paula once again slept in the reclining chair, and although she did sleep more than I did was not very comfortable either. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15542 aligncenter" src="https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Hospital-Recovery-1-300x200.jpg" alt="Hospital Recovery 1" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Hospital-Recovery-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Hospital-Recovery-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://wisdom-trek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Hospital-Recovery-1-1024x683.jpg...
