Recovery After Complicated Surgery

Dear Fr. Marco and your team, I am writing to share my gratitude. Last month, I sent a prayer card for my own healing. It was for the spinal fusion surgery I was facing. The procedure was more complex than expected, and my surgeon was quite concerned about the recovery period. After you carried my prayer to St. Peter's, I focused on that simple photograph you sent. I held onto the quiet hope it represented. I'm now six weeks post-op. The pain is manageable, and I am walking with a cane. My physical therapist says my progress is steady and strong, which was not what we were prepared for. I don't know how to explain it, but a deep calm settled over me after I received your note. I believe that calm helped my body mend. Thank you for carrying my plea when I was too tired to carry it myself. With gratitude,
