I have been distracted the last few weeks with hospital visits, procedures and…..just dealing with the plain discomfort of a physical pain. It is very annoying!!!! How much longer do I have to go through this??!!!! I often get shout those words in my head ……but refuse to say it out loud….because that makes me weak…….. As I start to feel a bit better today I walked over to my bathroom and saw piles and piles of supplies I left with the last time I was at the hospital. Saline syringes, tapes, gauzes, …… sooooo depressing! This is what I do everyday….use saline syringe through my biliary tube twice a day, place new gauze and tape it everyday after a shower. I have certainly learned to accept my routines…as IT IS the road to my recovery and that this isn’t forever, just 12 months, BUT good heavens!!!!! I need to vent a little and trust me I do, whether that is through my husband, sister, friend, or simple a prayer…it helps, but gotta tell you the truth the physical discomfort and pain is something I will never get used to. ^^
I’ve decided that I need get myself busy by finding something I enjoy to do. I drove myself to a craft store and just started browsing through. Then I came to find some canvas painting supplies….it was something I’ve always wanted to do. So bought few packs of paint brushes, acrylic paints and small canvas boxes…..just picking these up at the store was therapeutic. As I unloaded all the stuff I bought today I started one right away. It was fun and I think this is something I can really commit myself to do…and even make it into a project with my children ^^
So here it is…what started as a very stressful morning ends with a smile and feeling great to have finished my first canvas painting! 🙂
