No Pain, No Gain

I have been out of commission for 5 weeks this Thursday (4/9/09). I had shoulder surgery, and boy oh boy, I did not know what to expect. I have a lot of ideas to write about, but only one finger to type with, and that's not going so well.

In as brief a fashion as I can, here are my thoughts:

I hate physical therapy. (I know it's good for you).

I've had children, and this was worse.

I miss driving.

I wish I could put on my socks, get dressed alone, take a normal shower, and shampoo and blow dry my hair. I am sure my husband feels the same way.

I miss going outside and seeing other people that aren't my doctors.

Yes, I am a really big baby, and yes, I am trying to mentally chill out because my body has forced me to.

I live in a beautiful city (Ocean City, Md.), and I can see the beach and ocean right now. Life is good.

Yes, there are many many others with much more horrible issues to deal with.

Maybe I will stop feeling sorry for myself since I put my thoughts into words.

Yes, I'll be back.

I would be remiss if I didn't thank God for all the wonderful people in my life.
