Five months

Five months ago at thsi moment I was on the operating table. I know I should just get over this but it amazes me that it has only been that long. It doesn't seem possible that I should be able to feel this well after such a short time. It still hurts every now and then but in a different way. Now it's usually the muscles-stretching-out sort of ache and not the post-surgery-something-might-tear feeling. As all of the post-surgery stuff begins to fade, I am hoping to hold onto all the things I've learned in the last year. That'll take more active work on my part when I have fewer of those physical reminders.
