Shake the Sheets

By Kime-lou

· 714 views

This morning I did my norm morning routine. Got up pottied and got on the scale before dressing (TMI I know, but it is always best to weigh in you birthday suit). The hubs walks in and hugs me and says "geez I can reach my elbows when I wrap my arms around you". Then he said "I'm proud of you babe, but don't get so skinny I have to shake the sheets to find ya".

 

For those who don't know my husband is visually impaired. His vision is 20/800 - legally blind since birth. Granted he is well educated graduated with honors with a degree in computer science and is a well respected software engineer. He just can't see very well. So it's always been the running joke that he feel for me because I was large print (he always replied to that with you said that not me). Now he is joking saying I am getting so small he won't be able to see me anymore.

 

The joking is all in fun- he is very supportive of my weight loss journey and is helping me leaps and bounds.

 

But I must say it would be nice for him to have to shake the sheets to find me :)

    That made me smile. My father is legally blind so you can understand why your blog caught my eye. Their hearts make up for lack of sight. How lucky you are, how lucky your husband is..to have each other.

    LOL that was funny. Kimmie. I'm Legally blind too . My husband ahs full sight so you guys are the opposite of my husband and I. One thing that I do notice on myself is I can feel the outline of my skelleton more. And my jewlery fits differently(necklaces and rings) and my shoes are looser on my feet. even thought I can not see the outline of some of the larger bones of my body I can feel them beneath my skin. I actually woke up one morning about 8 months out from surgery and I did not realize my face had changed untill I was slathering on noxzema and realized I could distinctly feel my cheekbones. That was really cool.
