Momentum

Here we are,a little over one week post op from Vern's gallbladder surgery. He is recovering quickly and returned back to work today. His poor tummy is scarred and bruised and my heart aches every time I see it because I know it has endured so much in the last 14 months. Vern is a real trooper and a very easy patient to care for. When he doesn't feel good he sleeps so it made my job as a Nurse fairly uneventful with the exception of a bandage change that almost made me faint. I will save you the gory details but remind me not to ever go into the medical field!

So now this is all behind us and we are trying our best to gain a little momentum. Propelling ourselves back into life in a productive manner. I think we may have almost forgotten how to enjoy life without the constant concern of a nagging health issue? Is there life beyond work and home and everything in between? Yes there is! There is a camping trailer just begging for an adventure and 2 dogs with cabin fever needing a weekend at the beach to get filthy and well..be dogs!

As for us humans we are both ready to take a weekend away and hit the reset button!I can honestly say that I have felt a "little bitchy" on and off for about 3 weeks now. I ran that 5k and haven't jogged since. I am not taking care of myself and it is causing me to struggle mentally. I am slowly getting back to eating healthy and kicking a few bad habits but have yet to do much more than a few long walks. I hadn't realized I was in such a slump and I promised myself I wouldn't give up..so I won't. I am still determined to look good in a bikini.

I will check back in soon. Maybe after that little getaway....;)
