What to do??

So surgery was yesterday...  I spent almost all day in a fog.  I slept alot, on and off.  Elvis took great care of me though.  He let me cry, catered to my every whim and made sure I was ok.  God how I love that man.  He's my best friend.  He makes sure I'm always happy and taken care of.  This morning, I got up at about 4 am and had to pee...  I forgot about the crutches and by time I remember them, I had already gotten all the way to the bathroom.

I'm certainly moving faster than I was yesterday, and the pain isn't so bad.  Don't get me wrong... it still hurts, but certainly not as badly.  I'm trying to get more movement in it.  I'm trying to push myself as much as possible because I want to be walking, biking, dancing and running as soon as possible!!!

Just because I'm laid up with nothing to do, doesn't mean I'm going to be unproductive while I'm here.  I'm working on my spanish, trying my best to be able to speak to Elvis's family with ease.  :)

Also, while I'm unable to really do anything else, I'm still eating my low carb foods.  Elvis and I made some mini quiche and some bacon before surgery.  I'm nearly out of my coconut oil, but more is on the way.  I can't wait for it to get here. I'm nervous it might not make it before I run out.  Elvis made White Castle pie last night.  It's our favorite meal, I think.  It's so yummy!!!  :)

Oh, and let me tell you some of my successes this week!  So my best friend was down this past weekend.  We haven't seen each other in over 2 years.  We've been best friends since high school.  We've always loved to go shopping together, so of course, most of our plans were around shopping.  Her main reason for coming was to celebrate New Year's Eve here.  On NYE, I decided I wanted a cute top to wear.  We went shopping at Lane Bryant.  I pulled tops in my normal size and in the size below it...  Every top I tried on was too big, or cut really funny.  Nothing fit me!  I was excited that nothing fit me in my favorite store!  But then I was like... well, what am I going to wear?!  So we went to Torrid.  Their sizes are weird, so I wasn't sure what I would wear.  I ended up in a size 1... which is a 14/16!!!  Yea!!!  :)  I was so proud of myself.  I looked incredible!  When I'm able to tolerate being on my feet again, I'm gonna have to go shopping...  I have no pants that fit...  What a great feeling!!!  :)
