Time Out...

Yesterday was the last day of my nurse Lia's home care visits. We're on our own now. I'm able to change my last to dressings so that's not too shabby.Healed very well, a few minor sore spots.
Today Al took me for my first car ride to the Penn Centre where I wanted to pick up some special gifts. Felt like a new mother, careful not to hurt the tummy. Had a blanket over my tummy in the car so that the seat belt wouldn't rub against it. Like a pillow, Iquess. Short trip, first time dressed in nearly 3 weeks now so it truely was a treat!
Perhaps tomorrow we'll do another short walk about somewhere, it's good to keep the other muscles working too. Sitting and laying isn't always the best.
Also walked downstairs to our bedroom for the first time in 3 weeks, like coming home. All my clothes are there. Poor Al's been down there all alone.
Until I'm completely healed I think I'm best left upstairs to hangout and sleep at least.
Anyways we are maintaining good eating habits, the odd treat does come into the house. Al got a really great deal on Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookies, individually wrapped. They're awesome, but each cookie is 250 cal. You'd really have to give up alot for more than one of those. He loves them, definitely does not have a weight problem, so he should enjoy, he deserves them. He's very lucky!
I did have one, I'd say they were the best cookie I ever had. One was plenty, next time I'll have 1/2 of one.
Al will be juicing today, with all the fresh fruits out there, it will taste great I'm sure. Salads and soups for lunch, no breads. Drinking lots of crystal lite and eating lots of fibre. My dried fruits are still my passion.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend, see you soon.
Love Birgie
