Since my last visit with my plastic surgeon, I’ve been so uncomfortable, especially at night. The pressure makes my ribs ache. Over the weekend, I was awake every hour all night long trying to find a comfortable position. But last night, I slept most of the night and woke up feeling less sore. I made it through most of the day before I started aching again. I’m thankful for that.

I’m also thankful for my friend who has a birthday today. She’s the coolest. And sweetest. And coolest. Did I say that already?
