new year, new knee, new me!

Big 2018 Hello from Jeanne here!

It's been a long, dark, cold and painful winter with me getting a full knee replacement on the 22 of Nov. The recovery for most of us who have had it, is very demanding. (Oh, yes, and did I say painful?)
My sense of humor has been tested to the max. My schedule has been eaten up with merely trying to deal with day to day existence and keeping my home environment somewhat orderly and clean as I can.

Thank God for the loving friends and some of my local coaching clients that have helped me through this stretch. (Believe me , the word STRETCH freaks me out now, as I feel like every time I move, I am trying to rip apart strong pieces of heavy duty VELCRO apart from my inner knee area. REALLY CREEPY FEELING!)

Real caring people have visited me, cooked for me, grocery shopped for me, called me, drove me to appointments, encouraged me to exercise when I wanted to just sleep until Spring, hoping it was all a bad dream.

I am coming along. Just found out I have FORTUNATELY done enough work to avoid the dreaded secondary, corrective, scar scraping surgery some people have to go through. I can't express how grateful I am to have avoided that. I just felt it would have been the end of me.

It takes generally 6-12 months for recovery, so hopefully by spring, I will be feeling better and better. It would be a nice April birthday present. :).

So this is where I have been and why I have not be active on this site or my coaching website. (that is www.coachjeanneprom.com for those who don't know the url. )

I'm ready to begin working again, so if you or someone you know would like to talk to me in person about life coaching, just contact me and we can set up a call or Skype session to get all your questions answered. Seems many people want to make serious changes this year and coaching does help!

For now, I wish you all the courage to make the positive changes you may need to make in your life, to be kind and gentle with yourself and then others. It's a tough world out there, and every one of us is or will have times of tribulation. It is imperative and LIFE giving, LIFE saving sometimes, to be cognizant of the power each of us truly has to help another human being. We can either help them , even if in some seemingly small way, or ignore them, which surely will NOT HELP. So, that hurts them.

This is a choice we each have daily, to help ourselves heal, and then help others, or to ignore our personal needs and then fail ourself, let our dreams die and live unfulfilled and dying with regrets.

NO THANK YOU.... I don't want to die that way, so I will continue on... (not just get by!) , "with a little help from my friends".... keep choosing life and will continue to do my best to help those who seek my support.

Love, Jeanne
