BECOMING A PATIENT

I’ll spend the beginning of this week closing out projects as I start a foreign journey on Wednesday—that of the patient.

After years of suffering, pain, and way too many doctor visits, I’ll be having a hysterectomy on Wednesday and spending the next couple of weeks in full recovery mode.

For someone who has spent a significant portion of her adulthood caring for others, I will admit I am not good at allowing others to be in the driver's seat.

But- this is a great self-care moment to remind myself to practice what I preach, to allow my body and mind to rest and relax.
