One Week of Healing:
Day 7 Post-Op ❤️🩹
Seven days ago, I had surgery to finally face the dragon - Adenomyosis that had been calling the shots for far too long.
Today, I walked into my follow-up appointment feeling like a million bucks—bubbly, inspired, and ready to take on the world.
But here’s the truth about healing: It’s not linear...
By this afternoon, the "Million Bucks" felt more like "Five Cents."
The energy I used to get ready, do my hair, and take that trip to the clinic hit a wall.
And that is okay....
This week has been a masterclass in listening to my body’s voice.
It’s been about ups & downs :
⬆️ Seeing the first flowers pop up in my yard and feeling that "nudge" to dream big about my new business goals. 🏔️✈️
⬇️Recognizing that "skin-crawling" exhaustion that says, “Sit down, Mandy. The online classes can wait.” 💻💤
These aren't "breaks" from life; they are my life - taking care of me first. 🍵🐾
I’m giving myself permission to do a little at a time. To push just enough to stay "lit up," but to rest before the spark goes out.
The Ademyosis is gone, but the healing is just beginning day by day 💖
