It's official. I will not be going on my dream vacation next week. I am still recovering from not just one, but two surgeries. So I am getting better, but it is still a lot of work for me just to take Bailey out for a walk. That means I am not up for hauling around luggage, waiting in airport lines, and trying to find my way around Istanbul. I'm going to reschedule it for the same time next year and hope that I can get most of my money back through my trip insurance.
I do feel very blessed though. My folks were so worried and supportive and my best friend really stepped up and took care of me and Bailey. One of my mom's friends who lives in the area came by a few times to make sure I was ok. My business partner has been very supportive of my recovery and even my client has called several times to make sure I am getting better. It's times like these when you really do appreciate the people you have in your life. I can't imagine how stressed out I would be if I was working for BSA and having to worry about getting fired. But I do need to get back on my feet because we have just become busy again and I am needed.
As for my recovery, it has been hard. I swear there were moments in the hospital where I actually thought I was dying. I've lost ten pounds because my body has not wanted to eat. But each day I get a little bit better and I can't wait until I can walk Bailey with no problem, go to the gym, and eat anything you put in front of me. Three more days and I will be off my antibiotics and I hope I will start feeling something closer to normal.
