Triangles are Good!

This is a big day for me. Today was the first day in about 4 weeks that I was able to wear my regular clothes AND take the subway all by myself to a doctor’s appointment. Writing these words makes me feel like I am a 5 year old; however, for me these are some delightful accomplishments. Think about it…NYC Subway (the crowds, the stairs, the crowds, the humid air, and the crowds) all on my own. If you can survive the subway you can really survive anything! There was a song about surviving in NYC (not the subway, but NYC.) If you can make it here you can make it anywhere. I believe that is the line, but then I am getting off topic.

The incision on my stomach is about 12 inches long. It is healing better than I expected. The part that I did not expect is all the wavy parts on my stomach. No one ever tells you this stuff. I was so focused on the incision that would be left as a reminder that I never imagined the shape of my stomach would change. Rather than being a half dome like most people’s, MY stomach is more of a triangle. They just don’t make clothes for triangular stomachs. Since the incision is still healing, it is very sensitive to touch and presents a challenge when I attempt to wear regular clothes instead of my workout clothes. My doctors are trying to reassure me that both of these things will change over time. The question is in how much time?

I Am Back On The World Wide Web

I am back. My computer power adapter broke last week and I finally got a new one in the mail. It is so strange to be without a computer, I really don’t know how I survived. Good thing one of my girlfriends from my college days came to NYC for a visit. We had a great time doing absolutely nothing for three days.

It’s been raining in NYC for about 3 to 4 days and it is supposed to rain another week. I have to figure out how I can continue with my daily walks with this weather. I been making slow but steady progress and I can now walk about 6 blocks before I need a rest! My energy level is also improving. So, everything is headed in the right direction. Now if we could just get some sunshine for the plants that we planted on the patio. I will post some pictures of the patio as soon as the sun gives me an opportunity to take some.
