If you’re one of my faithful followers, you probably remember I had an appendectomy last year. I wrote about it here not too long after I was released from the hospital. If you’d like to give it a read, I entitled it “Room 32 is Empty!” It’s a two-part read. I hope you enjoy it. As the one year anniversary of that event arrived, I realized, like with everything else, how fast time has flown by. I still can’t believe it’s been over a year since I went through all of that. I don’t wish it upon anyone.
How am I feeling? I’m doing quite well, thank you. Every so often I feel it a bit when I lay down to go to sleep, but other than that, I feel good. It took several months to finally feel like the old me. The best way to say it is, I’m no longer using the pain meds Dr. Sales prescribed. However, I do still have a few left over. Just in case right?
When I think back on the drive home after I was released from the hospital, I’m still grateful to the doctors and nurses and all of the staff who took care of me. Chances are I’ll never see them again because I no longer live in the area, but I’ll never forget their faces. I met several new people who genuinely cared about my well being. Sure there were times where I didn’t feel that way. Especially when they kept scanning my badge to keep adding on to my bill. In the end, I knew they cared. It’s an experience I’ll never forget.
Since then, I’m in a new city, working at a new school with my credential, and a new granddaughter. I’m grateful I’m here for this.
If you ever feel stomach pain, don’t ignore it. You’ll know if it’s different. I want you all here for a very long time. Until next time, peace, love, tranquility.
