Little by little

It’s hard to believe surgery was last Wednesday. Since my Sunday evening update, I’ve been able to spend time with family and friends, walked the beach, received sweet surprises, and even found a little time to rest!

Recovery has been more difficult than I anticipated with food aversions and cognitive confusion topping the list of complaints, but I am thankful for family who has helped me get foods that “sound good” at any given time and given me rides to the beach in the morning.

I had really hoped to start driving again, but I recognize my brain is not quite there yet. I was able to start reading a novel yesterday (something that until that point was impossible), so I feel like I am moving in the right direction.

Thank you to everyone who has shown your kindness to me in different ways this last week.

And, yes! We’re still waiting on Baby Clara. Her due date is today!
