Sunday -

I did a lot of reading about lithotrypsy recovery last night and mine appears to be completely w/in the norm. Given that, I can relax, take my pain meeds, and snuggle up w/ my hot water bottle.

It's good to be encouraged ... to recognize that I easily slip to the dark side, and need to work on learning facts such that I can encourage myself w/them.

Vito stayed most of the weekend, cooking, cleaning, and general molly coddling. It was a lovely thing. Plus, gelatto with home made lemoncello is nothing to turn one's nose up at!

I feel very behind in where I meant to "be" by now and am having to let it go ... to recognize not all deadlines are GOOD deadlines and that sometimes they need to be a sliding deadline or overall goal. A SOMETIME goal.

Thanks to zebragirl I downloaded an app that will help me make better use of the clothing I own. I loves me clothes, don't get my wrong, but I like owning IT not having it own me.

I watched the Oscars and am sooo, sooo happy both Colin Firth and "The King's Speech" won. What a testament to the strength of human nature. May I be that strong as I face what lies ahead. I am thankful God make me a 4/3 and not one to shrink into the background. Yes, it has made me enemies in the medical field, but it has also gotten me where I need to go at time.

So good night all. May tomorrow be a stronger day!

  1. I hope tomorrow is a better day, too!

    I don't know anything about the surgery you had but with surgeries I have had in the past, it always seemed that the recovery was the hardest, longest (and most boring) part. I had geared up for surgery but not for long, drawn-out recovery.

    "I feel very behind in where I meant to 'be' by now and am having to let it go ... to recognize not all deadlines are GOOD deadlines and that sometimes they need to be a sliding deadline or overall goal. A SOMETIME goal."

    This has been true for my life, in general.

    And I was reminded of it recently when my son turned 10. Suddenly, I'm thinking about how a decade had gone by. What had I wanted to have happen? How do I feel about how my life has gone, instead?

    Anyway, rest as much as you can and feel better soon!
