140

Well, I have made it to 140 days post surgery. How do I know it's 140 days? Nah, I don't sit and obsess over it and count...I happen to have a great App on my Touch that's called "Days Until...". Before the surgery I programmed in the date of surgery and the App counted down the days for me. Oddly enough, that helped me get ready for the surgery as I saw the days physically counting down before my eyes.

Well, the App keeps counting and now there's a minus sign before the number signifying the days that have past since the surgery! Pretty cool!

So every now and again I check it out and find significance in the number of days past...140 seemed like a nice time to post again!

I actually wrote a great post right before Thanksgiving...I detailed all of the things that I was thankful for: in sum, that I was feeling so great and that I had so much support and love during and after my surgery. Alas, that post was mysteriously lost in cyber-space and I felt too dejected by that happening to write my thoughts out all over again.

So here I am. I feel great, no complaints. I still recognize this surgery as being life altering in only positive ways. I am completely "into" swimming and am now up to doing the back-stroke, which I am proud of! My scars are still brown and can get a little angry every now and again and even swell up a little bit...but that's no biggie.

The hormone thing is working itself out-- I hadn't posted this initially, but I was having some trouble with boob-pain (like bad PMS boobs) which was lasting for weeks on end (ouch!). It's getting better, thankfully.

Holiday madness is here and I'm trying to keep up with it just like the rest of us. Not my favorite time of year- at all.

That said, I hope that those reading this enjoy the season and that you all have a healthy New Year. 2010...can you believe it? Why does it feel like yesterday that we were all worried about computers crashing at the start of 2000?

Have a good one and be healthy.
