5 days out

Feb 11, 2012

I woke up today feeling very agitated.  I think its from not eating and being cooped up in the hotel room for a large part of the day.  I got myself dressed and my hair done and makeup on and felt much better.  My mom and I and some local friends went to the mall and to an aquarium.  If someone would have told me that 5 days out I would be walking for hours and shopping and feeling good, I wouldn't have believed them.  We got a wheelchair from the mall and took it around with us just in case I got too tired but I didn't need it.  No one would have guessed my belly was a checkerboard of bandages.  We shopped around the mall and even ate at the food court.   I got some organic chicken noodle soup but just the broth and it was SO good.  It has totally helped the food grudge I had been holding.  And the bonus part is that the small order of soup will last me tonight and most of tomorrow.... makes me WANT to eat instead of dread it.    
We went to Bed Bath and Beyond and shopped around too.  I have been acquiring small bowls for me to eat out of, but they also had some cute little spoons and cocktail forks.  I think if I have nice grownup dishes that are small instead of baby spoons and kiddie plates, I will take the time to enjoy meals more.  Or maybe I just like the little cocktail forks... either way it was $1.19.... so I couldn't resist. 
I hope everyone is having as great of a recovery as I am.
