Two and a half weeks

A lot has happened in the past few days.

On Thursday, I left the house by myself and drove for the first time since my surgery. It was just a quick errand, but provided exactly the psychological boost that I needed.

On Friday, I woke up and went about my morning without once feeling significant pain. I curled up in my desk chair to read my email. I moved easily. I have turned a corner.

Of course, I am also fighting off a bad cold, and let me tell you that coughing is not pleasant when you have abdominal stitches.

And that's where we are at 2 1/2 weeks.

I am looking forward to my post-op appointment next week.
