Time to get back on the blogwagon since there has been much progress this past week. The stitches came out on Wednesday. Ahhh. As usual, the process of removing them was more painful for D than it was for me, but he opted to sit behind the curtain which was the right choice for all involved. Having the stitches out felt like almost as much of a relief as getting the drain out. Not quite as great, but still pretty great.
The surgeon also said I can do some limited sitting this month. More progress! I tried it out on the couch when I got home from the appointment. Not feeling it yet. It just feels uncomfortable and since the predictable side-lying feels better, I usually default back to it. I'm waiting patiently for sitting to click.
In the meantime though, I've been out for a couple of short walks. We went for a brief visit to some friends yesterday and C was excited that I was coming along in the car. I was touched that she'd missed me in the car. I kinda feel like I'm slooooowly getting back in the game again. For Pete's sake, I wore underwear yesterday! I know, I know, I'd better slow down.
Helping matters is the promise of spring. I know it's cliche, but nothing helps my mental state like sunshine, longer days, and not having to wear socks. Add to that, the idea that cold and flu season is waning, so C is less likely to get sick. All these make for happier times, which seems like a good time to rejoin civilization. Neither spring nor I have arrived yet, but we're working on it.
