So sorry for not posting in weeks. I have actually been feeling really good. Have much more energy, hit the magic 3 month post op mark July 20 and I am cleared to pretty much do what I want. Hearing that, I immediately started working out; especially the abs took a major beating with all the water retention. They will never be a flat bikini belly, but they never were! Lol Working hard to regain muscle tone in arms and strength in hip flexor. Feels so good to workout! The endorphins are awesome. Only thing that is making me nervous is that I am registered to do a Color Run with great friends who stood by Jeff, Devan and I through it all! I just hope I am ready to run it. Regardless, I am doing it, and if needed I will walk it. We have also been trying to eat as clean as possible. As for Devan, he still gets his chicken nuggets, but at least they are Purdue he is liking these days as oppose to (gasp everyone in judgement) McDonalds! The best part is being able to go out with friends we havent seen in forever. They have all been so supportive, and waiting to see us. We even got away a few days last weekend down the shore. Had a blast just playing in the sand and watching how much Devan has progressed in the pool. Michael Phelps? I dont think so, and he is not going to be the next Tiger Woods in golf either judging from the way he cheats at mini golf. Its truly life changing to go through any debilitating disease, but for me right now, at this moment, the positives that have grown from the journey outweigh the negative. Thats not to say I will not require extensive therapy for a long time between the last few years of teaching and then the 2 + years that I just did what I had to do (going through all the poking, prodding, biopsies, scans, different meds with crazy side effects and the trauma of discovering a friend of 12 years was not really a friend when I was at my worse), yes I suffer from some PTSD for certain. I just still live day to day, but try to appreciate more and relish in all that is good. The best part of my everyday...Jeff and our life loving, happy, sensitive, funny son. Hes our rock.
