Great Day!

Nov 26, 2010

So, I was really dreading Thanksgiving. Yesterday was my 22nd birthday as well, so I was feeling a little depressed about not being able to eat or drink anything. Some of my family was very insenstive and unsupportive (even asking me what kind of birthday cake I wanted -- I'm only 2.5 weeks out from surgery -- and then complaining that there wasn't any!!!). But I am very pleased to say that I got through it and had a wonderful day. I had just a taste of the mashed potatoes, yams, and green beans, and my gram even made me a special pumpkin pudding that I could eat! It was all so delicious and I can't believe how satisfied I felt. No head hunger, no regret, no feeling left out. I was so pleased and excited with how the day went I couldn't even get to sleep until 5 this morning! I might as well have gone out for Black Friday shopping! Anyway, I just wanted to take a minute to say how pleased I am with how things are going and express how excited and thankful I am for this surgery. I hope everyone else had as great a day as I did!
