When Your Life is Still in Stiches

It has been two weeks since my surgery, and although I am doing much better, I am still on the mend. Life is like that sometimes, you just have to be patient while you heal and focus on how you have improved, not on how much further you have to go.

At least I have graduated from having to wear the cone of shame and I am now only wearing a tee shirt to protect my stiches until they are removed this Saturday. They itch sometimes as they are healing, but Doc reminds me not to scratch. I know she cares about me but she can be annoying at times, the way she hovers over me. I am just ready for things to get back to normal and I can run and play again without restrictions.

One thing I am really looking forward to is the Christmas part we are having next Wednesday for the patients. I know there will be good food to eat, hopefully Santa will show up and I can visit with people I don’t see as often. For those that celebrate the holidays, it can be a time to come together, focus on the positive and maybe heal some old wounds.

Today I am just going to focus on helping my patient’s the best I can and continue to absorb all the sympathy and extra treats I can get while I am still healing.
