It's been exactly 3 weeks since my surgery and although I'm recovering nicely, I'm frustrated that I'm not yet 100%. I still get tired and need to rest and am still down 10 pounds (or 2 dress sizes). Sooner or later I hope to get back to the long walks I used to take for granted! I never thought I'd get tired of watching FoodTV, HGTV and the NEWS. I normally don't watch too much TV, preferring to be out and about running errands. I've actually been outside weeding for short periods, they drive me crazy. On the weekend, I'm planning to attend this show downtown called 'Come Fly Away', Sinatra songs choreographed by Twyla Tharp. A friend had come by some tickets.
M has been a model husband through this whole thing, and it has been perfectly timed during the lazy summer. He himself is having some medical tests, the joys of middle age!
L is off to university in just a couple more weeks. She has given notice on her summer job. There are a few things to do to get her ready. She and her friends are really excited to start the new year. Every year she gets a little more independent as she prepares to leave the nest (sniff). Our former piano teacher asked her to teach some lessons while the teacher is on vacation. L enjoyed teaching her first lesson working with a little kid at the beginner level. They are so cute.
K is almost finished his formal driving lessons and has even been out on the busy highways with the instructor. He won't be able to take the next driving test until the end of the year, but he'll get lots of practice and experience meanwhile. He also has to get ready for 'back to school'. He tells L he'll really miss her and he tells me 'don't worry, we'll adjust!'

aww,, such a sweet post,, continue to heal,, take care,,
Hope you continue to heal well, take your time. I needed nearly 10 weeks before I felt really back to normal last year, so <i suppose you must just be patient, as hard as it is! Take care, HUgs, Valerie
When I had C-sections years ago, the doctor indicated there would be a six week recovery time, and I think your surgery is even MORE invasive.
thanks for your supportive comments ladies, today's a much better day. I do enjoy the warm weather without coats and sweaters.
I have to be the first one to tell you seriously not to overdo and follow all your doctor's instructions. Rest! Absolutely rest. Hmmmm... I'm not being good, am I? I shouldn't be visiting too much yet. Hmmm.. OK... I'll go to bed now. :-)
thanks Kay! I just stopped myself from running to the phone.
Oh my gosh - that picture is so funny :)
I'm sure it is frustrating to still not be 100%, but that is totally normal... It sounds like you are doing quite well and I am so, so happy to hear that!!!
I really like the simple lines and composition of your moon piece... Beautiful!
Your dancing garlic is adorable too!
Good luck as you prepare for back to school and keep resting!
