Unstitched

Long weekend lots of traveling. A couple of things surfaced for me:

One was a disposable suture that didn't dispose of it self  as designed,  instead it migrated to the surface. Where it kept getting caught on my shirt,( now kids/adults don't do this at home-decided I better add a disclaimer) so this nurse took matters into her own hand and pulled the suture, all 2 inches of it. Looked like fishing line, which caused me to think of my brother in law and his uncle  talking of fishing this weekend. Would love to go Salmon or Trout fishing some day. Whoops off track.   So far no ill effects from my surgical skills which are nill. In fact my pain is less and my incision is less red so I think perhaps that was the appropriate thing to do.

Two breakfast baskets were delivered to my sister in law so they were overrun with bagels.  Oh how I miss bagels. Especially toasted with butter plus or minus the cream cheese doesn't matter.

Oh hey a new rule-its OK to drool. When we stopped for lunch the diner had a fabulous bakery. While Hubby paid the bill I looked at all the stuff in the cases. Wow it was loaded with beautiful desserts.  That's when it hit me I can enjoy the beauty of the desserts. . I can at least window shop as long as I don't buy anything...and I don't  care if I look like my great nephew Simon (4 months) or my great niece Gabby (3 months) if I want to drool I will. Of course we can hope I have better control of my drool as I am supposed to be an adult.

Three- if your with family you can get thru anything. Even though we gathered to celebrate the life of our loved one, we were all together. So many of the cousins had not been together in person for a long time. It was just so wonderful to see these adults all together playing ball and seeming like there was never any time apart or distance between them at all.

Four-I seemed to have forgotten that I had major surgery because  when I was completely exhausted, sore, and stiff from sitting in the back seat last night. I wondered why!.  Absolutely laugh cause its funny.

So tomorrow its back to work and we will see how our new normal progresses.

more later....
