So, the week started out pretty rough. I found out that I am not actually Superwomen, that was a bummer! The trip to Florida was tougher on me than I thought it would be. My brain had plans that my body could not keep up with and I paid the price.
I was feeling so crummy physically that I also started feeling bad emotionally. My doctor said that everything I was feeling was normal for someone who recently had major surgery and then tried to keep up with a 4 year old for a day at Disney. (Bottom line, I didn't let myself believe for one second that I couldn't do it because I did not want to disappoint Kaeli. I felt like she went through enough having me in the hospital for 22 days, that I didn't want to cancel the trip we had been talking about since July. My doctor gave the me the okay to go, so that was it for me.) No damage done, just a lesson learned. I am now back to my "toddler" schedule. I walk in the morning, do a few things around the house, rest/nap and try to go to bed early.
I am having a hard time accepting the fact that I can't do everything I want to, when I want to. That I can't push myself. My body can't take it. What made it so frustrating was that my mind was not tired like my body was, my body just did not want to do anything!
I am trying to be a good girl, so I am going to go to bed now.
I am not sure if anyone is still reading my posts, but if you are thanks!
I will try to write about some of the funny stuff that happened on our trip tomorrow. Also, my next onologist appointment is Tuesday, so I'll let you know how that goes.

Theresa,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that your blog is being read. I check it out every few days - and send a few prayers and good thoughts along every time. You and your brothers have done a terrific job on this site. I especially liked the dancing video posted a few weeks back. It definitely brought out a few smiles. If you're up to it, keep the posts coming. We'll keep reading and sending prayers your way!

As I said this is just like pregnancy for me. My mind has all sorts of ideas but my body says NO WAY and not just NO WAY but NOOOOOO WAAAAAYYYY (sensored for the children)!!!!! I remember the distinct feeling in my first trimester with Amelia my body telling me "If you don't sit down right now, I am going to drop you!" I went to the Dr for the third time and he thinks I have an "atypical" pnemonia that dosn't show up on the x-rays...so I'm still on the toddler sched too. We loved seeing you! Remember slw and steady wins the day!
ReplyDeleteLove, Liz
I read your blog every few days too!! I am keeping tabs on you!! Talk to you soon, Tara
ReplyDeleteHi, Theresa! Yes, I am still reading your notes and sending positive thoughts and prayers your way every day! Listen to your body when it tells you to slow down a bit. It is trying to heal and get all parts back to "normal." A trip to Florida is a big undertaking for anyone, let alone spending a day at Disney World with a little one. Fun, yes, but also exhausting.
ReplyDeleteSlow and steady is hard for someone with your energy level, but at times it is necessary. Try to think not just day to day, but compare today with two or four weeks ago. You are getting stronger and better, it's just hard to see the progress sometimes!
You are awesome and brave, doing so well!
Love,
Ann Sweeting
