Even seven weeks post surgery there are still so many "firsts" that I am stumbling (both literally and figuratively) upon. I experience these firsts after every surgery, but they always feel the same - all bright and shiny and new. As much as bone infections and surgeries suck, they make a great way to stay grounded when combined together. There is nothing finer than taking pleasure in life's little things when you have to deal with the ups and downs of chronic illness.
What has sparked me to post this on my blog you ask? My first shower since surgery of course! As loving as my mother was to wash my hair every few days, and as refreshing as sponge baths where (not always so much) taking a shower cannot be topped. Hopefully taking a shower standing up will follow soon after, and then showering without my arm all wrapped up in plastic and elastics to protect my PICC line, and not having to worry about 15 000$ IV pumps getting wet...
