This morning, my regular ride to the vanpool was off, so my husband had to take me. Everyone who knows him knows that morning isn't his best time. So, when I cornered him this morning with the question, "What has been the most surprising thing - or the hardest thing - about my surgery?" - I knew he would be taken off guard. But, I hoped that the surprise would let him give a gut answer, not something that he thought about a lot.
His answer surprised me. I expected him to say something about getting used to how little I eat, or maybe something about how he misses what we used to share when it came to food. But he said, "The thing that most surprises me is how patient you have been with all of this. I really figured you would be impatient and think you weren't losing fast enough."
Wow - in my mind I have been EXTREMELY impatient - especially when the doctors have been playing with my meds, and I stall. I think it's very, very cool that the person who should know me best sees me in an entirely different light than I see myself.
On another topic, yesterday there was a little humor when I entered my statistics into my spreadsheet. I mistakenly entered 396 instead of 296. Of course, that made my chart and all of my formulas go haywire! I was very puzzled for a few minutes - and then I saw my error! I laughed, because I have typed 300+ for SO LONG that I guess it has become habit. What a relief it was to make the correction, and see everything look like it should. HOW COOL IS THAT????
