Yesterday was the first day I felt like myself since the surgery, but today was completely different. I felt like myself-- my old self. I actually woke up feeling refreshed, not exhausted, even though I had woken once during the night. The first thing on my mind was breakfast, and I had a strong craving for a veggie omelet. Before Jon was out of bed I was showered, dressed, and chopping green and red peppers. At 7:30 AM. Without even a cup of coffee to get me going.
When the omelet was ready, I served Jon and then watched in satisfaction as my family was happily enjoying a healthy, fresh breakfast of whole wheat mini bagels, sliced kiwi, and veggie omelet. And it's because I am back. The real me. I guess that was why I had woken at 2 AM this morning with a prayer of "Thank you, God, for your goodness." I knew I was back, and it was going to be a good day.
And it was.
This made me cry! I hope you have had more of the "old you" in the past couple of days as well! I hope this makes you feel invigorated and inspired for your family's move to FL. If you are starting to feel better now, I imagine it is only going to get better!
ReplyDeleteAmen. We get so used to the sick Melissa that we forget how great it is to have the old one around. I was in shock when she was up making omelets that morning. It's really hard to understand unless you live in this house. Looking forward to many more breakfasts in the future.
