Just had to share my happy today!

[Hoping052017 97]

So, I have major depression issues and it seems like I don't get "Happy" very often (maybe 3 or 4 times a month, if I'm lucky) so when I do feel happy I just want to scream it to the world and this is one of those days!

Today was the first day in over a year that I was able to take a shower without being in tears from the pain the Water and loofa/washcloth causes. It actually took a minute after I got the courage to put my whole back under the water to realize that I could stop cringing because it wasn't actually hurting that bad! I wanted to scream and shout from the rooftops that I got to take a nice, long, run out of hot water long shower without crying. I did do a happy dance though, that's for sure!

So, that is my happy share for the day. Hope everyone here has at least one happy moment worth celebrating today. I know I did! (And even if it doesn't happen again for a while, I am thoroughly grateful for it).

And if anyone does have a happy moment worth celebrating today (aren't all happy moments worth celebrating? ), I'd love to hear about it!

We got paid yesterday, so I've been shopping! It's a good day!

I have been having a nagging kind of pain on the left side of my chest when I took deep breaths ever since my surgery on 1/17. Today...no more pain. May have been gas pain, or maybe muscular, but either way, glad it is finally gone!

My scabs are falling off after major skin surgery.

I cant tell you much I whoop whooped round the house.

Then I had to lay down as the dancing knackered me but I was still grinning

Yay for a happy day! Well, today is Friday so that is always good. Also, my hubby and I are trying to have baby #2. When I was 290 pounds trying for baby #1, my Reproductive endocrinologist said that IF I got pregnant I had a higher risk or miscarriage, diabetes, C-section, etc. The same doctor said that he was reviewing my treatment from last time and could not believe the difference metabolically. Said that I was literally a new person and WHEN (not IF) I got pregnant, the pregnancy and delivery will be completely different. Said that I am healthier than women 10 years younger. Said that my risks for all the above were just the same as a woman in her 20s. Considering I am 39 years old that is awesome.

So happy for everyone! Here's to more happy days to come! I actually had another happy day today too. I spent the day with my mom running errands, but she was in massive amounts of pain in her lower back so I tried my best to take her mind off of it by making her laugh (which I did with flying colors, I might add ) The two of us laughed so much and so hard today that even though it was icky errand day (she and I both despise errand day) it turned out to be one of the best days we've had together in a very long time.

Thank you God for blessing us!

Sorry for the months later follow up, but this is so inspirational! I have at least 2 years to wait before I can start trying and I was afraid of the "geriatric" gestational age of 35. Glad to see we can affect how "old" our bodies are. Also--your goal weight is very near mine, you are awesome!!
