New Years Eve (5 Days Post Op)

In about eight minutes, it will be 2014, and I am very excited. It has been a hard past few days, but today leaves me optimistic and hopeful. I was afraid that I would not be able to stay abstinent. I was afraid that I was a failure and that all of my work was going to waste. I was afraid of failing. But I pushed forward and I took my addiction one day at a time. Today was day one, and I managed to get through the day. I know it was with the help of my higher power, but I managed to make it through.

Josh and I spent most of the day together, and we worked on our bridal registry at Bed Bath and Beyond. It was nice to get out of the house and move around. My drainage tubes are giving out less fluid, which is great, and my incision is starting to itch, which means its healing. Overall, my recovery is doing wonderful, and I look forward to continue this amazing process next year. I promise to write more tomorrow and post some more pictures. L'shana tovah! Happy New Year!
