Grateful Sunday

I walked to church this morning. I showed up in time for the announcements and last hymn, but had planned it that way. I  was there to collect the offering- I'm the treasurer.
A few people knew I had surgery. They were shocked I was walking around and told me how wonderful I looked. One lady asked when my surgery is- she couldn't believe it was last Monday.
OK- my spirits are boosted

I hug the pastor, as I leave the sanctuary. He says " I've heard all kinds of awful rumors about you and being in the hospital" to which I said "they're true, I did have surgery" - And proceeded to tell him about my RNY.

I am so thankful that I live in this day and age when we have the technology and know how to do major surgery which doesn't keep someone bed bound for weeks.

You should be proud of yourself. You doing wonderful. I had a good day at Church myself. I have been playing Flute on and off with the different worship teams in our little church. :-)

You sound like you are doing AWESOME!!!!!!  That's SOOO great to hear!  Keep it up!  Glad you are doing so well!!!!!  Congrats!

It is amazing, isn't it? If it wasn't for the restricted stomach and nausea I experience I almost wouldn't have believed that I had surgery.

What also amazes me - after helping a friend through hip replacement - that they are up and walking the same day.

Emily...that's awesome ~ good for you !!

I hope you'll keep posting often...I've got 3 weeks to go and your posts are such a HUGE inspiration to me ~ Thanks for sharing !!

Kathy- I have a wonderful book of traditional church music for duet-piano and flute. My DD and I played some during church.

Deb- This is a "pay it forward" type of thing. I learned so much and continue to be inspired by the OH'ers who have experienced RNY before me. I'm happy to have a place to rejoice in the small and large steps- and inspire others at the same time.
