6 weeks out

I got the all clear today from my doctor. I've healed up nicely and all restrictions have been lifted.

Thank goodness, because not being able to pick up more than 5 pounds has been difficult.

To celebrate Troy and I went to Graffiato's. It was A-MAZING.

Try the gnocchi!

It is owned by Mike Isabella (of Top Chef fame) and he was there today...being taped and photographed and stuff. I know it's dorky...but I thought it was cool.

V Day

If you know us, you know our history with Valentine's Day is not a good one.

See here, here, or here for just a few examples.

So, I am happy to report that Valentine's Day did not suck.

I know.

I'm shocked too.

It wasn't anything special. But we did get to go to dinner together. At the same time. In the same place.

And honestly, being together was all that really mattered.

39 baby

Troy is 39 today.

My word. 39.

That's old.

Of course, Troy is comforted by the thought that I am always going to be older than him. : )

It was a pretty low key day. Troy wanted to spend a quiet evening together...we had dinner at a really nice restaurant and watched a show at the Kennedy Center with friends. 

In my book...that's pretty great day.

Happy Birthday sweetheart. 

I hope this is the best year yet.

ps. doesn't he look good with the beard? 

Almost 2 weeks

I had my first post op visit today and everything is healing nicely. My incisions scars (all 7!) are healed up, although the doctor says they will continue to change in appearance over the next 12 months.

Additionally I received the pathology report on my uterus...which was as expected...not normal...but nothing they hadn't expected.

And sadly my parents went home today. I know they were happy to come and help, but I know they were equally happy to go and finally get some rest!

I just don't know how we would have done it without them and I'm just so grateful they could come out. I'm very blessed to have such good parents.

And what did I do on my first day on my own? oh yeah....I overdid it....and now I'm ready to lay down...maybe til next week.

But really, all is well and I'm making good progress. Can't ask for more than that!
