Six Weeks Later

So, yesterday it was six weeks post op and I would have expected to be feeling pretty much back to normal but I continue to have a very, very hard abdomen, a sore chest, and sharp pain here and there like plastic sticking me.  I have some hard spots in my scar but overall I am feeling better this week.  I have learned to identify the little things.  I fear I may never be the same again, but if not then I will be better than before - whatever that will be.

I have very much enjoyed our time in Florida and glad we made the second trip down here.  I wished we would have been able to stay the entire time - I would have really learned to be retired then - but am happy we have had the last week and then a few more days.  We will head home early, early Saturday morning and drive as long as we can to reduce Sunday's drive.  We are very close to I-75 so it will be a quick trip to the freeway and then set the cruise and head North.  Hopefully, the snow will be gone.

I think today I may go to Saks Fifth Avenue and dress hunt a little today.  We have played at the pool and yesterday went to the beach so today  may be something a little different.  Of course, I will still get in my pool time.  Interesting, we have been to the pool at all different times - early morning no one is there, mid-day there are papas and mimis with their granchildren and about 4:00 p.m. all the locals come to the pool with their noodles and then get in a circle in the pool floating and talking.  All they are missing is a glass of wine in their hands.  Never saw so much white hair in one spot before but they all are very pleasant and again makes me look forward to a little retirement in a few years.

I am off to make some coffee and read some e-mail to see you later.  Keep me in your thoughts and I continue to pray for a smooth recovery (I gave up a quick one a month again).
