Keep your
eyes on the stars & keep your feet on the ground.
Well that’s
a weekend I’m in no rush to repeat, nothing worse than having a lot of time on
your hands but not feeling well enough to actually want to do anything so you’re
just stuck with lying around recovering.
So lying in
bed doesn't really give you much to talk about and that's all I've done since
my op. I won't give you the details of the day’s after the op but it
wasn't all pleasant, I have been well looked after by my mom and my bestie dropped
in Saturday and I'm blessed to have so many people care for me and lucky to
have experts at the end of a phone to ask for help from. Yes I'm a very
lucky lady to know so many wonderful people.
I spent the weekend uncomfortable and bored and the view from my window isn't exactly interesting. I've watched a few movies on my iPad, and started listening to a not brilliant audio book whilst willing myself well.
We all have such busy lives that stopping to relax is something we long for, however this isn’t pleasant relaxation and I can think of better ways to spend my weekend.

Bless my
lovely mom, she’s not blessed with cooking skills and food is the one
thing I could’ve turned into a pastime this weekend, luckily my appetite
hasn’t bee fab for obvious reasons but thankfully moms talents stretches to
toast and soup so I was unlikely to go crazy!
I have managed
to resist her chocolate stash thankfully and I’d kill for a plate of proper
food with vegetables, isn’t it fantastic how my body is craving healthy food
rather than the junk, I want cornflakes too, they’re now on my to eat list now,
don’t remember the last time I had a bowl of them.
We take so
much for granted in life, it really does do us good to occasionally stop and
think about those things and how lucky we are.
Our bodies for example, they’re amazing, the way they function
automatically is just phenomenal. So the
next time you look in the mirror and criticise your appearance, stop for a
moment and glory in how amazing your body truly is, and without it or parts of
it, things wouldn’t be so great!
My necks now
covered in bruises and I’m in awe of the fact that surgeons managed to do all
that they did through a cut that’s only a few inches long, I mean my doctors
had big hands! How fantastic is modern
medicine, how brilliant is all the equipment they use, even something as simple
as a blood pressure machine – how clever is that – they blow up a band on your
arm and then a machine tells them your blood pressure – genius!
See you can
tell I’ve had a lot of time doing nothing!
So instead
of criticising your thick waist or your chunky thighs, wonder at the
metabolising your stomachs doing and the distance your legs are carrying
you!
So go
BeYOUtiful and appreciate your uniqueness xx
