This was my view for about 2.5 days last week. We made a quick trip to Barbados (Chad had a business meeting and the rest of us tagged along). The trip was planned months before my injury, and for a while, we didn’t know if I’d be able to go. But the doctor gave me the go-ahead — with the caveat that I should sit still and do nothing while we were there. So we went. Our two travel days were a bit rough — complete with me setting off the airport security alarm, both ways! But the two days there were very nice. The kids spent the mornings at the pool and afternoons playing in the sand and waves. Following doctor’s orders, I did a whole lot of nothing.
It was nice to not have to worry about preparing meals or making beds for a few days. Warmth and the sound of the ocean weren’t bad either!
I plan to give you the whole injury and follow-up story this coming week. I go to the doctor Monday for my third round of x-rays, and for the next conversation about whether or not I will need surgery. I would certainly appreciate prayers for a good report, no needed surgery, and continued healing.



Chad and I have been married for nearly 18 years, and I think I’ve finally convinced him that I have trouble visualizing things. This process of convincing has come with a certain amount of conflict, multiple examples, and endless repetition along the lines of, “No, I actually can’t picture that.”
