Yesterday was the first day since my surgery, that I have felt good, and feel like I’m back to normal! The surgery I had was on my nose (a Nasal Septum Reconstruction and cleaning out of the turbinates….) I have always had a problem with snoring, but for the last couple of years, I’ve had a problem singing for even a half an hour before I start to lose my voice! My throat has been so sore, and my husband has also had to sleep in a different room on occasion, because of how bad my snoring has been. This was enough reason to get it done, and Last Friday, a week ago, I went in for the procedure.
This last week was SO exhausting. I hardly did anything. Even walking around from one room to another wore me out so much that I had to sit and recover for a good half an hour. This made it a little difficult to be a good mother.
Of course during this week, our dryer broke, and laundry was backed up for a few days, my house was a wreck, and my poor family, who was expecting I would be feeling better after a few days, was not expecting, like me, that I would be down for so long.
Thankfully, things are better. I have come to appreciate so much the energy that I have! I am a busy mom. I am constantly in motion. I love to have a project. If I don’t have a project I’m working on, I go crazy! During the last week, I was starting to feel like all my dreams and goals were just too hard, and too much effort. I went back to programming, since it was something I could do sitting down, that didn’t take up too much physical effort. I have some new ideas about that project I’m excited about…
But more than anything, this last week has taught me to appreciate a good healthy body. If you don’t do anything else today. Be grateful for all the things that DO work! Not doing anything is NO fun at all. I have so much empathy for people that are suffering because they don’t HAVE the energy to do the things they want to do. It does make a huge difference in what goals you make and what you are actually able to accomplish. I accomplish a lot of things, because I feel good.
Today I feel so grateful for it!
