Two days out from surgery. I am typically overly optimistic. I really didn’t anticipate spending all of today resting. It is logical. I just didn’t anticipate it.
In my head it should go like: gall bladder was bad, gall bladder removed, and I should be all better! That seemed easy to follow 🙂
I did not anticipate my tummy muscles being bruised and sore. And I did not anticipate my shoulders being horribly sore. I still don’t know about the shoulder thing. I guess the tummy muscles make sense. I am bruising easier because I haven’t had red meat in at least three weeks and I generally run low on iron as a person.
So today, on Mother’s Day, when I would love to have visited my Mom and been spoiled by my kiddos, I’ve been laying in bed. I have done several red light therapy treatments and my shoulders continue to improve. The resting is good. I can sit up and stand up using my core without crying.
Tonight I am thankful for healing! I am thankful for fast healing, I mean at this rate I’ll be super great in just a few more days! Also today, I am thankful for my dear, sweet Mommy! And I am thankful for getting to be a Mommy! I did chat with each of my kiddos today. And whether I am laying in bed resting or out and about somewhere adventuring; spending time with kiddos is always special! ❤️
