I really want to thank everyone for your kind words, and especially those of you who shared your stories with me. When you are experiencing a loss, it is reassuring to know you are not alone; that others have made it through. It has really been a big help. I am always amazed by how kind and caring you all are. It makes me feel extra fortunate.
Dan went back to work on Monday. I had my cousin over to keep me company. I got a bit of work done, mailed out one order, and cut a few things… we spent the rest of the afternoon making ourselves some slippers. I made mine out of some plaid flannel, and floral cotton for lining. We appliqued non-slip hearts onto the soles. I have made these slippers twice now for myself. The pattern is from ithinksew.com. I made one minor adjustment this time, and made the upper foot part a little lower cut.
Friday and Saturday were pretty rough. I finished the misoprostol on Friday, but was feeling pretty uncomfortable into Saturday. We went out on Saturday to Ikea, of all places. I felt like getting out would give me a good distraction from what had been going on. It did, but the walking was not easy… We picked out a new couch, and bought some new shelves and knick knacks for in the living room. I spent the rest of the weekend cleaning and rearranging. It felt good to give the house a bit of a make over.
I am incredibly grateful for my little Oliver these days. It is just so good to have a little animal companion during tough times. We’ve spent lots of time cuddling the last few days….
Today, I will follow up with my doctor, and hopefully will be able to put this all behind me soon. I am really looking forward to feeling ‘normal’ again.
