What a great 1st of December present.
Lindsay did the half marathon today.
She hasn't been training for that long but has done really great.
Who would have thought both of my girl's would become runners?
When their mom's goal is just to be able to walk downstairs and to the car:)
So proud of Lindsay today!
I finally had my re-do knee surgery. It was painful and hard but so much more bearable with all the love and service I have received. I was at a different hospital this time ( St. Mary's) and I had lots of visitors. I was there an extra day this time because my surgery was bigger. The doctor said it was major surgery last time and monster surgery this time.
I was so glad to come home. I have a hospital bed in my room upstairs, as well as 2 walkers and a commode. It looks like a nursing home. I requested Tim again from American Home Care as my physical therapist. It has worked out well. My knee is healing but it is so hard to stay in bed. It has been 3 weeks. I can't put any weight on it this time because they had to put in a plate that split another bone when they were hammering it in. I have to wait for the bone to grow and attach to the plate. I go to the doctor next week...so we will see what he says.
I have had so much love and support from my friends. Leslie organized people into a plan to help me called : "Serving Suz". This is what she wrote:
Hello Ladies!
As most of you know, Suzie is set to have her knee replacement surgery again this coming Friday. Her recovery will be painful and intense, and many of us would love to do whatever possible to help lighten her load as well as Greg's following the operation.
On that note, I have put together a sign-up sheet to organize our efforts during her recovery. Please take a moment to view the document and sign up wherever you are able.
Here is the link to the document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rMLuHuyp3OE_hGnPt5c-JaiVdyvLelzjgUhj34OZLmo/edit
Thank you so much for keeping Suzie and Greg in your hearts and prayers. Service is truly the Lords way of showing His love through each of us.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Chelsea who has recently become a runner, set a goal on her bucket list to run a marathon at least once in her life . She chose the Richmond marathon and did it yesterday. We have all been part of her training as she has logged many many miles with Gigi in the stroller and is usually talking to one of her family members as she runs. She did absolutely great. ....her best time yet. Under 4 hours.
Greg and I couldn't see her across the finish line because I just has knee replacement surgery, but Clayton and his good friend Casey drove down from DC . And of course her awesome, supportive family. Dana got her a hotel room downtown by the starting line so she could get a good night's sleep and just walk right over in the morning and start.
When she got home, she didn't even look exhausted...said she was a little sore. Her hair and make-up were in tact... she looked fabulous like she did the day she had her first baby.
