Hey everyone! 😍
I guess it’s time for an update… it’s been 3 weeks since my surgery. 🤯 Can you even believe it!? First of all I want to thank everyone who has reached out with love and encouragement, and to everyone who donated to help me financially so that I don’t have to worry while I’m off work for months. I am overwhelmed by the magnitude of love and support I have received. It’s truly astounding. 🥰🙏
Every time I have had a health crisis, I would say the two things that shock me the most are how loved I am in this world, and how good I am at healing. Literally, I’m like a superhero at this! 🥰😂 My recovery has been amazing so far. Every day is a breakthrough! 1 week ago I had my 23 staples out and my dr was shocked at how good my incision is looking. The following day I had my first lymph drainage treatment from a colleague who has the same vodder lymph drainage training as me. She also reiterated how incredible my scar is looking. I have been doing a bit of lymph drainage on myself every day, so I imagine that’s helping.
The staples themselves weren’t all that painful in the moment, but having them out was a game changer! The amount of relief I felt when they were gone shows how painful they must’ve been. Since having them out, I have been going for short and suuuuuper slow walks every day. I’m winded about a block in, but I’m making progress. It feels so good to be a bit more independent!! Being inactive and vulnerable is NOT something I’m good at, so this is definitely a great shift for me. Today, I walked up the street to have a haircut with one of my all time favourite people .
You guys, self care like this is so incredibly important! I can’t even begin to tell you how much better I feel. I feel like I’m more human now…and I feel so cute!! Like, I won’t be so self conscious walking down the street at a snail’s pace! 😅
I am absolutely obsessed with my new hairdo! 💇 just fyi, mullets are so 🔥 right now 😉. Thanks again my loves! 💋
😎❤️🩷🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤍🤗
