Day 4 postop…
Today was the first day I've fixed my hair and put on makeup since Tuesday. It felt so good! It took me longer than usual to dry and style my hair. It's hard to imagine how little strength and stamina one has after going without any sustenance for several days. But I got it done! I started on my clear protein drinks, which aren't horrible, but I can only drink small sips at a time or I get nauseated. Actually, it feels more like a spasm more than nausea. So…it takes a LONG time to drink a 10 oz drink. This is totally new for me because I love to drink! I'm not confessing to alcoholism, but rather stating that I constantly have some hot or cold liquid to drink. I usually get my money's worth from the outrageous cost of a glass of tea in a restaurant. They might as well just give me that pitcher of unsweet tea with a straw and some lemon slices and call it good! A minor adjustment, but my body keeps me in check.
Such a wonderful time of worship at Bethel Assembly of Anson today! Our awesome worship team led us into the presence of the Lord beautifully as always. I was moved to tears during "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" because of the overwhelming realization that God has blessed me with such an awesome gift! I will be healthy! I will be fit! I will feel good and feel good about me! I'm already feeling much better about me. I mentioned in a previous post that I did this, not because I don't love myself, but because I do! I want to live to enjoy playing with my grandkids (who are still just a glimmer in their daddies' eyes). I want to grow old with my sweet man and be that cute old couple walking arm in arm. And in everything I do, I want to glorify God! I can serve Him so much better when I am healthy! Guess we just had a little church in here!
This is an exciting week because I will return to work on Tuesday for a morning seminar and then be back full-time on Wednesday. PLUS I get to move back to full liquids on Wednesday, which means I can have my creamer in my coffee again!!! Celebrate good times! Come on! Nothing makes me smile like my peppermint mocha creamer in my cup o joe! It's the little things. Tis the season to be thankful, right?
TTFN! Blessings y'all!
