Glimmers and Lovely Days — Recovery Day 9

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, It's okay if we didn't hit our goals every single month. We're probably not going to hit it next month when we're not having a regular amount of income come in. And that's okay because we planned for it. We gave ourselves a cushion. We were able to create that space that we needed to heal our bodies, to be able to come back. I have every hope and intention of stronger, better, faster. I'm going into a song. I know it." — Emily, 9 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day

In This Episode:

I'm counting the "glimmers" – the little sparkles of hope and appreciation I experience throughout the day as I recover.
I'm excited to be getting ready for a family dinner. I'm getting into light chores around the house, and it's really helpful to have a wonderful husband who has made my recovery a top priority.
There are some classic rock recommendations and maybe even a party theme idea! And maybe some excentric walking … or perhaps dancing!
I'm also so excited to find songs that I enjoy singing and adding to my karaoke playlist! And getting back into singing would do wonders for my mental health, for sure.
It's also nice to take this time to step back from my career and see how I want it to progress going forward. I'm lucky I work from home and was able to get back to work quickly from the couch most days. I've since been able to take on another job to supplement my income I make in podcast editing and production, which is one of the reasons there are longer gaps between seasons. Not having to worry about taking so much time off for Adenomyosis and Endometriosis pain and discomfort helps tremendously!
I'm so excited for my walking treadmill to come! This will help me with my walking goals and recovery so much!

Note from Future-Emily:

I still love my walking treadmill and use it regularly :) Totally worth it, if you can find the space and enjoy treadmill walking. I mention the brand Walking Pad, but the one I got is actually Urevo brand walking treadmill, and I use walking sticks with it to help keep my balance. But they also have walking treadmills available with bars to hold onto.
