Frustration

With each day that passes I become more and more frustrated with my body.  I think I have finally realized that my frustration is knowing that in December this excess skin is going away, but having to wait (very impatiently) for it to happen. Every time I get dressed, take a shower or look in the mirror all I see is this "stuff" around my body that taunts me. One day at a time.

In other news I've been doing a lot of reading about post surgery tips and recovery tricks.  One of the big things I've read about is the importance of body position while recovering.  So many people have written about having a comfortable recliner or Lazy Boy.  This creates the optimal position for healing since being flat in a bed causes too much stretching on the incision line. So I've started asking around to see who may have one I can borrow one from.  Good news: I may have found one!

Positive note: this week someone made a $500 anonymous donation to the GoFundMe site my friend set up!  Beyond words. My heart continues to be filled up by the selfless-ness of the people in my life.  Completely grateful and honored.

44 days until surgery!
