Semi-Back
It's been long...too long...I'm so out of the internet loop. I'll never catch up on everything...ok being over dramatic...but it's nice to be back on the web.
I am the Little Engine that Could. I am the tortoise in the race. Slowly but surely I am getting closer to getting back to myself. Abdominal surgery is tough...I'm not sitting around watching tv all day like i thought I would be. (Although am enjoying episodes of Little House on the Prairie each morning).
There is a lot of exhaustion and pain...but I'm pleased to report that I think I feel an overall sense of wellness that I think is a result of having the diseased portion of my body removed. There is still a lot of road left on the journey to recovery, but today felt like a big step. I am thankful for the opportunity to work a couple of hours from home during this time when I'm not ready for the "real world" yet. My Dr and visiting nurses keep reminding me how dangerous it is to do too much during this time. So, I'm trying to be smart...but it' is great to have something to think about besides when my next nap is, whether to do a crossword puzzle or word search, or focusing too much on what's going on with my new "situation". (being a little cryptic rather than graphic). Things could be much worse...but I'm thankful this is temporary. Hard to believe I'll be back in the hospital in about a month or so. Bring it...
I have a lot to be thankful for. Maybe I'll blog about that sometime soon. For now... just wanted to exercise my blogging muscles and fill you in that I'm working on getting back to me...or even to a new improved me..
