21 Days

Today marks the 21st day post op.
The past week for me has been a bit of a whirlwind, I had to take some time and slow down. Work has picked up quite a bit, i needed to put in some extra time at that. Slowing down for me is hard sometimes, i just want to keep on going, doing it all and making sure its all 100%.
Taking time last week was good, i got to devote more attention to Joy and her continued healing. Also taking care of some much needed house things. The weekend was fabulous, Joy and i got to spend some much needed alone time together, loving on each other and feeling much more normal. We were talking and she said, “you know you are my best friend”, and as i looked around and let that moment hang there, it was exquisite. She really is my best friend as well, and so much more too. I feel as though we continue to get to know each other even more, and the past 21 days have been a sort of fire to cook us together.

I can see the healing process take shape everyday with Joy. It is fantastic how fast and well she is going through this. Last week was such a night/day change from week 2. She has much more mobility in her body, she can drive again! The pain level seem to have gone down a notch, or at least not happening as often. She measured her incision the other day, it came in at 5.25 inches, that may not sound very large, but she has a little waist, so its quite large on her. The incision looks even better this week, i am sure it will just continue to heal better and better. Overall she is doing amazing, and we are starting to get back into our groove, life is starting to normalize, and that is good!

i don’t if its just a function of my attention or Joy’s hormones kicking up, but i have been noticing children so much the past week. I have been enjoying watching my friends and their children, or other people kids, and saying “whoa that will be us soon”. Its quite exciting.

A few people have asked some questions, that i will answer over the next couple of days, things like, “where did you meet? how long have you known each other? have you picked names for your kids?” if you want to know anything else, contact us.
