My husband helped with the building project. I helped with the cooking and laundry. We were gone for about two weeks.
I found my energy levels were not too lacking, although sleep posed a challenge because of the amount of daylight hours (about 20) there. All of us ladies tended to take a breather afternoons. I still find my left arm just does not work as well as it once would, but that is probably how it will be because of the amount of surgery and the scar tissue. That challenge did not really hamper me, although I find that my arm muscles are sorer than usual -- even four or so days after getting home.
God is good.
