One Step at a Time

The last 5 weeks have been extra challenging being in recovery post-op. But I finally feel like things are slowly but surely getting back to normal (whatever that is 😅). Dressing days are still frequent but less, wound is healing well and I actually managed to start cooking again, simple stuff like soups and one-dish meals — but still a huge win for me 💪🏼☺️

We hit another milestone this weekend when we decided to venture outside of the compound! I mean I’ve been going out for dressing every few days but that’s just me getting into a cab and walking a short (very slow) distance inside the polyclinic. And although this was just a trip down the street to the mall, it was HUGE for me! 

The trip itself was quite taxing on me and we decided to take the train cuz the walk was too far but that turned out to be not such a great idea either cuz the vibrations of the train were too much for me. But I got a delicious ice cream sundae cone out of it and got to feel like part of the world again and that was just GREAT. 

Here’s a snapshot of our outing:
