April 2, 2022 - Saturday

Today, I FINALLY felt real progress. Not nearly back to normal, but so much better. I took a little walk outside, helped with cooking, cleaned the house a little, and a bunch of other stuff. I didn't randomly fall asleep in the middle of the day (like I have every other day since the surgery), which felt like a big deal. 😅 While we were out, I did my March cul-de-sac photo...obviously two days late. But still, better late than never! 

Sunny stopped by to visit today, which was nice of her. She had been hoping to come by and talk to me before my surgery, but I really was just too pissed off to want company. I was so hungry for weeks. 😐 We talked about some of her experiences and about some of mine so far. I feel like we had very different motives for wanting this surgery in the first place and I think we have very different goals and things that we are expecting or want to come out of it, but it's still nice to hear that someone else went through that too and it's normal! Reading back through it, it's like, how different could our goals be? We both want to lose weight. So yeah, that's true. Just our reasoning behind it, the WHY is very different. 

My parents are heading home tomorrow, which will be very sad. In a way, it will be good. It will push me to get up and start doing or trying to do all of my normal things again. I'll have to be up and moving, rather than letting someone else take care of things for me so much. BUT, it was also be sad because we all hate it when they leave and it will be much harder for me to survive the next week or two while I'm still healing. Their time here was invaluable though. It made this whole week possible and I'm so grateful for their help. 

I'm hoping to start grabbing my camera again soon. It's been a while since I've picked it up intentionally and I really want to get back to it!
