I wore jeans today
That’s pretty much it
I foolishly told myself I’d go into the office this past Monday. I couldn’t do it. Every day I would tell myself I would go back the next day, but healing has been slow. I decided to stop putting limits on myself and just go at my own pace. I worked from home, but I’m craving normalcy.
But this afternoon I agreed to go get the kids with Katie and make a Target run after. I decided I was going to wear jeans. And I did. I wore them for 4 hours, at which point the pain was pretty awful, so I went right back to sweats. I tested my limits though, which was the point. I felt human again.
Who knew something as silly as wearing jeans instead of sweatpants would be an accomplishment?
One day at a time is much easier to say than to live.., and even harder hour by hour. Our thought of control is pruned away. I pray this will be a treasure to your character as the years go by. I pray the appreciation of life and breath will always be yours.
Certainly not comparing Total Knee Replacement to cancer but I kinda get it. I’m 12 days Post Op and today wore makeup to PT!
