Hunch Back

I can't stand up straight yet. But, I still love these pictures! My daughter looked so beautiful last night... life is so amazing sometimes. It was really important for her to have these memories. I had to encourage her to go and that she would regret not having lived this moment of her life. She's trying to be all practical, which is necessary and good, but so is living your life to it's fullest and having no regrets. She and her boyfriend have some early obstacles, but to me that means they need to be extra careful to live life to the maximum. Last night was fabulous all the way around.

Back to my hunch back status...two steps forward, one step back is where I'm at recovery wise after my tummy tuck. I go back to work tomorrow. Not sure if it's time... but not much choice. Drains should come out on Wednesday. I'm still wearing my binder, and am keeping my incisions dressed. Narcotics are not needed as much... I'm truly relieved my doctor took this pain seriously. The thought of having to white knuckle it this week was more depressing than I want to explain. Doctors here are so afraid of prescription drug abuse, that many of them let true pain go rampant. That is exactly what happened with my Fibromyalgia, so I've got some "issues" about that. This is turning out well, though. I know I keep mentioning it, but it is surreal to be where I'm at in this process. I'm still trying to process it.

Today, we have snow again. WTF? We've got amazing pizza as leftovers, and we're just going to watch movies in our pj's and snack all day. Have I mentioned that I love my band? Lately? I can't even eat an entire piece of this heavenly concoction of Italian delight... I'm so full and satisfied. Today is one of those days where I feel like life just doesn't get any better than this. The couch is calling me, and I think the fireplace is asking to be turned on, and there are several movies softly enticing me... even a hunch back girl can be happy...
