Ahhh, squishy!

It's been two weeks since my "final" surgery!  It's gone by quickly this time, I suppose.  I do have to struggle to stay in-active.  I can't get my heart rate up due to the possibility of bleeding, and I can't use my pecs still, well - because they were cut and sewn back together.  I should be released for activity in 2 more weeks.  Yay!  I'm already planning my TRX/Power Yoga fitness comeback.  It would be lovely to be in shape to teach by January!  You know, when all my gym peeps decide they need to be healthy again, for a few months ;)

This surgery was SO much easier.  In fact, I only used pain meds for the first 2 days.  I occasionally take a reg Tylenol or 2 now, but it's rare.  I have to say, it's so much more comfortable being squishy now vs. having those dreadful expanders!  Of course, they don't seem so bad while they're in - you do what you have to do.  But now that they're gone?  Ahhhhh, relief!   :)

Today is officially the first day of Fall.  It will happen at 10:49am - most likely while we're hanging out at the coffee shop downtown.  I don't normally look forward to Fall - I am certainly more of a Summer Girl.  For some reason I'm almost excited about the weather change this time.  Could it be the new boots and cardigans I've been buying...?  Or maybe that my summer was not exactly stellar this year?  Who cares.  I just know that it feels fabulous outside - and it's time for me to get off this couch and go enjoy my Saturday at the Farmer's Market/coffee shop!  I even get to head over to a gallery and pick up a check for a painting that sold recently.  Happy Autumn everybody!
