Yesterday was an important day in my recovery. For the first time in many weeks, Jim and I went to get groceries together. With a storm forecast for today, Trader Joe’s was so busy. We have never stood in lines that long before to check out. But we left with $140 with of food—many items that will be new and fun for us. Plus some of our favorites like almond coffee cake and salmon and my almond granola—and our favorite ice creams and chips. We know our prices and coffee and wine are usually good buys.
I pushed the shopping cart which serves as a walker, but I was not in pain as I have been so many times shopping before surgery. I was very aware of my progress in recovery and very grateful.
Maybe soon I will be walking farther without the cane as I am doing in the apartment now. Maybe we can make that trip to the Princeton Art Museum that motivated me to face the surgery. Sometimes I just stop and think that I no longer have to dread the surgery—it is over and I am healing well. And I am thankful!
