Day 36: Last supper

Tonight I had my last "meh" meal of this round of hcg.  Now that I'm so close, it's super exciting!  The disappointment of not being able to go as long as I wanted is fading as I know I did my best and I get to EAT!  Woot!  I'm just hoping and praying this stabilization goes well.

I'm looking forward to summer--NO SURGERY (Lord willing)!  Yeah, the ones I've had haven't fixed my back, and that sucks.  But we've worked out a tolerable system for getting by and I'm happy in my life.  This summer just seems so full of possibilities to me!

For years untold I've had to have surgery halfway through.  So the first half has been killing, with trying to get SO MUCH done, knowing I wouldn't be able to do much, if anything, for a long while after.  There's always the crush to get VBS done, our school year planned for the next year, and anything remotely "summery" done by early July.  And then it's Misery Fest for the rest of the summer, followed by school starting juxtaposed with physical therapy sessions...it's just not fun.  And I typically have had surgery complications, so add that to the mix=bleh.

But this year (Lord willing), my summer won't be cut off at the pockets!  It's never warm enough to swim here 'til August, and that's when I can't (post back surgery not allowed).  So I have rosy visions of swimming, barbecues, camping, relaxing, going to a baseball game, berry picking, beachcombing... I can't wait!

But let's start in the morning: with a real breakfast!  We'll do that first.
