She Cried!
So I'm driving down the road with my 13yo DD. She had her IPod hooked up to the stereo system in the truck and a Blink182 song called "Rollercoaster" comes on. It dawns on me - I'm going to be able to ride rollercoasters again! That is something that I absoultely love, and it is one of her favorite things too. So I said, "Guess what? I'm going to be able to ride rollercoasters with you again!" I put up my hand to high 5 her. LOL, sappy, I know, it was just what felt right in the moment. So she reaches to high 5 me, and when she turns her face to me, she has a HUGE smile on her face, and has tears in her eyes. She says "I can't wait!"
She went on to say how she knew this surgery was good for me personally, but hadn't thought about how it would affect the family in so many ways also.
My hubby tells me I'm glowing. I said I think it will be this way for quite a while. He says "I hope you glow for the rest of your life!"
