Default A Little WOW moment



Okay, I know this might not sound like much but it was a bit of a "WOW" moment for me.

I work in a hospital and am required to wear the hospital's scrubs at work. I haven't been able to wear the scrubs they provide for several years and have had to go out and buy my own. You see the hospital didn't have scrubs that were big enough for me. Anyway, I went back to work last night (the 1st time since my surgery) and was shocked to find out I now actually FIT into the scrubs that they provide. I was SO thrilled and smiled to myself most of the shift.

Oh, and one more "WOW" when I got to work even the head doctor on our unit said he could already tell that I had lost weight, especially through my face. I thought it was pretty cool that it is already noticeable to others beside me.

Just kinda excited!
