Monday was the first time I drove since my surgery on the 4th of February. I was nervous first to drive and second because i was going to the grocery store by myself.
Well as I made a right turn I noticed something odd my stomach was no longer touching the steering wheel! I started to cry of joy, I could not believe this new feeling, and then I realized that where my seat belt buckles was not stabbing me on the side of the thigh, more tears came.
I was so happy I wanted a reward and my brain thought of food. I still have this addiction to treat my emotions with food. When I got to the grocery store i parked as far as I could to give me time to prepare for my first alone grocery trip. During the walk I decided I do need a reward and I though flowers would be so lovely. So the first thing i picked up was my plant of choice, then the items i needed. Yes I had temptations and yes i wished I could still eat some things but I did not give in and was very thankful for my sleeve and the start of my new healthier life.
Thank you all for your support through my journey and I recommend stopping and getting yourself flowers to Celebrate your many achievements, it feels amazing!
