It’s a long time since I last wrote here – one of my more private reflection spaces.
It seems important to try and capture a little of how I am feeling right now and it seems slightly symbolic that Ash Wednesday this year was the last day of my six weeks post surgery. There were various timelines for how quickly I would recover from a laproscopic sigmoid colonectomy ranging from 4-8 weeks. I was feeling pretty good after four weeks and managed a flight to Brisbane in week five but was still being cautious about lifting. While I feel my body has done a good job of healing I thing that the issue now is getting fitter again after being constrained in what I could do up until now (in particular no lifting)
I considered going to Ash Wednesday Mass at the Cathedral yesterday (I was even in the city) but was nervous of the crowds and didn’t have a mask. With chemo on the horizon I wasn’t overly keen to flirt with Covid exposure. Today I am handing over my laptop and collecting my bits an pieces from my Australian job. Lent this year is going to be a time of exploring new pathways and different challenges.
