2 weeks down, a lifetime to go

I can not believe its been two weeks since my surgery. I have finally had three steri strips fall off of the smaller incisions and almost off the bigger ones. I am not ready for the port one to come off because it is at my belly button right where my pants are. But once these fall off I can finally go swimming! ( It is summer after all)

 

I am excited to start mushy stage. I went and bought several things today. Watermelon will be the first. Of course I used to eat a whole half of one, I will probably be able to do about 1/2 cup, and not one seed can get past!

 

I did a workshop at school today and it did wear me out, They all asked about me, and are very supportive, although they forget too. My principal offered me a chip, and I just had to shake my head and she all the sudden remembered. But learning to say no is one of those things, throughout all of my life, I need to learm. Only thing I have said no to is drugs! Ha ha

 

Life is getting better, and I can't wait to see what comes about next week.

Nummy watermelon! I'm gonna get some tomorrow! I even find myself forgetting sometimes -- we were in a meeting today and someone brought in doughnuts. I was just about to reach in the box when I thought "what are you doing?" I just quietly walked to the other side of the table.

I want to swim! I thought my dr told me 4-6 weeks which is why I'm waiting. But it looks so refreshing.......... My strips are gone and my incisions are all barely noticeable..........

Congrats on graduating to mushies! Enjoy the watermelon, and have a great weekend............

Had fresh cantelope and watermelon tonight! The cantelope was as sweet as sugar and I only eat the middle out of the watermelon! My kids all know, Mom gets the middle! Ha! I wanted to go to the beaches here in the Panhandle of Florida before they are oiled up, and not with suntan oil either! Yuk! Sad for us! I grew up swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, and I am my kids and grandkids are gonna miss it!
