one giant step

I ventured out for the first time since my surgery today. And of course the venue of my big debut was.......Target. Shocker I know, but I was able to spend about 30 mins. roaming the aisles. It was a good and, I believe, successful first outing. And I will be honest, by the time I got home I was dying. I had to take a pain pill and a nap. 

So I am thinking I will be pretty sore tomorrow which is never fun, but for every step forward you take a few back right.?

Mom seems to be pretty worried about my eating habits since all this has occurred. Which if I am honest, I haven't been eating nearly as much as I used to, but hey I was also forced to go something like three days with nothing but ice chips, so I feel like my appetite will come back in good time. But it will take time. 

My staples come out on Monday morning, and Mom goes back to Texarkana tomorrow. So that begins week two and counting.
