What A Difference A Day (and a shower) Makes ~ 4 Days Post-Op
Mar 20, 2011
If someone would have told me on Friday, how good I would feel today, I simply would not have believed them. In fact if someone would have told me PREOPERATIVELY how good I would feel after my shower today, I wouldn't have believed that either.My first thought, was, "God what did I do to deserve to feel this way?"
Oh, yeah. There was the last eighteen years of increasing disability (more was revealed at the hospital just prior to and after surgery) and, worst of all: regret at the time lost that could have been better spent on healthy activities with my beautiful young daughter, who graduates in 3 months.
Even my psychologist (my mentor, my angel) tried to prepare me for this (and more to come, AFTER the weight loss) and I just couldn't imagine it. Answering his question.... "What will you do when you are living the dream?" I was speechless. It seemed impossible. Considering that option felt like stepping off a cliff into (forgive me) thin air.
Now I have the answer: I will remember to grow wings. I will learn to fly.
(Thanks be to God.) :)
