After Indiana, we traveled down to Kentucky to spend time with friends and our church. It was a really jam packed time, and we tried to see everyone, but it NEVER is enough time and always so hard to leave--again.
We had a schedule change that threw a wrench in our plans, but it was all in God's timing. I had surgery on my vericose veins by a doctor that comes down on mission trips to Costa Rica. He planned everything and so I went ahead and had the surgery. I had the main vein on both legs from my hip to ankle collapsed and from my knee to ankle had the veins stripped. It was a very intense surgery, but God was good and took care of everything. It was about 8 weeks to fully recover, but I flew twice in the first weeks after surgery. Not recommended, but I had to, and God protected me. I am so thankful to the hospital and the staff at The Medical Center in Bowling Green. Highly recommend that hospital!
I had time to rest, but it sure was hard to rest and try to visit and see everyone while there. Thankfully, walking and moving was good for the recovery. But if I stopped, I had to keep my legs up. So thankful to everyone's patience with me after the surgery--I wasn't much fun!
But while we were in Kentucky, we got to love on some people and likewise, they loved on us!

 |
| It was cooollllddd in Kentucky the morning we left! |
The time was super short, but we loved every second of it! Never is enough time.....
But after Kentucky we flew to Atlanta to hang out with friends, do some sightseeing, and visit with a church and organization.
Blessings!
