Changes Abound

Aug 01, 2014

I decided that I needed to begin recording all the changes I am undergoing so I have a record and can come back and remind myself.  So here is a start:

  • my medic alert bracelet is so loose I'm going to have to have my husband take some links out.  When I bought it, I was almost too tight to hook the clasp
  • I can wrap my hand around my wrist and touch my thumb and middle finger together.  I haven't done that in years!
  • I have basically gotten rid of ALL of my pre-surgery clothing.  The ones that do remain in my closet are too small and will be leaving this weekend.
  • I can sit and cross my legs COMFORTABLY.  This is one of the things I have missed the most.  It was my favorite way to sit in a comfortable chair.  I'm so happy that I can sit in a chair with my legs crossed instead of having to sit with them propped up in another chair to be comfortable.
  • I can sleep on my back!!  I didn't realize that I was side sleeping because my weight was crushing me.  So happy!
  • I am going to have to start shopping in the regular sized clothes on my next shopping trip.  I don't remember the last time I shopped on that side of the store.  It's almost scary and yet exciting at the same time. 

This is all for now.  Whoop!! One of the best decisions I've ever made.
