9 April 2022
It's already day 23 post-op and I've been gradually resuming my normal routine. Besides taking short, slow walks outdoors, I've also started taking the trash out, watering my parched plants and have gone for rides with hubby. Today, for the first time since my surgery, Derrick and I had brunch outside. It was at our favourite eatery, Mushroom Pavilion, which has less diners in the morning. In addition, I resumed cooking, albeit on a much smaller scale. Derrick was most excited to feast on his wifey's cooking and gleefully went to the market to procure all the items on the given long list. Nevertheless, he thoughtfully came to check on me when I was in the kitchen.
It definitely feels good to be almost fully back to my usual routine. As much as I love and anticipate my parents' daily visits (with food and nutritious soups), it breaks my heart too to see my two precious darlings having to go out of their way to pamper me. After all, they are both already in the eighties. Although I delight in being treated as a princess by Derrick, I do feel bad at times as I have never been one to lie idle.
However, there's one thing I've been doing during my convalescence that I would definitely miss when I return to work. Resting at home with all the time in the world, I get to shop online. And there's the assurance that I'm at home to receive the delivery. This evening, I was thrilled to receive another Le Creuset purchase - a 19cm Marseille rectangular stoneware dish. My mind is already whirring with recipes to put this new baby to use.
