Afternoon Stroll

If you were to say I was going to be outside having a stroll at 4pm this afternoon when I woke up this morning, I would have said that you were nuts.

It's amazing how fast the human body can actually heal. 48 hours ago, just after my surgery I was confined to my bed, dependent on nurses to help clean myself and booties to keep my circulation going. 24 hours later, I was doing laps around the nurses' desk (and, as a nod to Tim, I got 8 HooHa's). And even after a night of slightly painful sleep, I didn't think I would be getting out of bed much today.

But I surprised myself by wanting to take a lap of the house and to smell the fresh rain outside, it reminds me of being at home in Vancouver. And thank god it wasn't snow. Those breaths really made me feel alive.

As to how I am, the only word I can sum it up with is "whole".
