Discoveries during recovery

I have a torso!

I have got to get a full grip on the fact that I cannot do a lot of things right now. I had a bit of wound separation last night and it was enough to make me not care about refilling the pepper mill. The peppercorns are up above the stove. And I don't have to get the spatula to turn off the switch on the light over the stove. Big deal if it's on. Big deal if it's off.

The house will not fall apart.

I can't let the pain get away from me.

I have the greatest friends....far and wide....you know who you are...ahem, Murf and the Queen of Tehachapi....Kim!!! I miss you, girl.

I will get a job. Be grateful for the extension of my unemployment benefits.....thank you, Congress.

It could be worse.

There will be no formal Christmas tree this year and that's okay. The house looks beautiful with the white lights here and there. Well, there is a tabletop tree.

I will take as long as it takes to get totally healthy.

I can wait to get back to the gym.
