I took Ash to his Swim-n-Gym class today and had a mini-WOW moment. Before surgery I could barely squeeze into the chairs provided and always worried that when I stood up, one would be stuck to my ass.
This actually happened at my brothers on Thanksgiving and my sister from Utah was there to witness my humiliation. I bravely laughed it off.
Today I actually had a bit of wiggle room. I looked at the chairs around me thinking that they had changed to a different style and then the realization dawned that the chairs were not getting bigger *I* was gettting smaller. I broke into a huge happy grin as I cheered Ashton on.
He graduated to the next level of silver and I will no longer be asking my mom to take him because I have nothing to be ashamed of. One fear already conquered 3 weeks out.
We celebrated by having lunch at Wendys. Chili has never tasted soo good.
