    I can fly on one clipped wing. The air yet remembers my name.

    So yeah I went for my first walking errand since surgery today.

    Me carrying a small grocery bag while walking on the sidewalk. I look tired, but I'm smiling and my hair has volume to it.

    @hyc thank you! I still can't do my full walk, but I might be able to pull that off tomorrow. I'm able to go without painkillers as long as I move carefully.

    Managed not to flash the camera and increase the content rating of this post, but I'm still rocking the steri-strip chic look. You can still see the bruising under my navel.

    Me holding up my shirt for a careful mirror selfie. I have semi-transparent adhesive strips over four incisions, three around the edge of my ribcage, and one above my belly button.

    @mei Hah! The bellybutton one is healing the slowest, at this point. Original some of the lower incisions were giving the most trouble, and I felt like I couldn't lean too far forward or back without my guts rearranging in a surreal and terrifying way. But now those are finally settling in, and it's the the big hole in the middle that's sore all the time.
