Most of you have probably been wondering where I have been. On October 13th, I had surgery for hemorrhoids. The pain had gotten to be so bad and other therapies weren't working, that I had no other choice but to have surgery. And, as you can imagine, the recovery has not been pleasant! The surgeon wasn't lying when she said it was going to be a very painful recovery. In fact there were times when I had to ask Pat to remind me that I am tough. So, I have come a long way and am feeling much better, but am not yet all the way recovered. I lost 10 pounds in that first week- most women probably don't stand on the scale and cry thinking, "Only 150?? I worked HARD for those 10 lbs!" And when I look in the mirror- I find myself flexing less.

Today was my first day back to work. So, I will be back in the box, hopefully soon. I will be taking it very easy for awhile and will be watching the rest of you run circles around me. I have had to wrap my brain around the fact that I cannot be competitive; I have to slow down and go at my own pace. And, surprisingly, I am OK with that. I wasn't at first; thinking that I would really be bummed out that I won't be keeping up. However, now, I am at peace with it- glad to be almost out of the woods- and happy to be amongst the walking! Thankfully, my situation was never life threatening, just painful. It has been a wonderful reminder to me to just slow down and listen to my body and soak in all the good care and love that I have received.
See you soon!
Love,
Anne
