I am so completely lucky to have such a wonderful boyfriend. He's been waiting on me hand and foot since my surgery and it's been really nice to have him around. I'm doing surprisingly well (knock on wood), but I'm still feeling pretty weak and I can't stand up for very long without feeling like I'm going to pass out. I took a shower this afternoon and I had to get out with conditioner still in my hair because I got so light-headed and I thought I was going to faint. Scary.
There's not much else going on. I'm leaving around June 9th for Georgia and I won't be back until either late July or mid-August, depending on Airborne School. Part of me wants to go so bad and part of me doesn't want to go at all. I'm so afraid of washing out. Especially with this surgery, I'm worried I won't be able to get into shape in time. I can do it if I try...I just need some serious motivation.
If anyone speaks Spanish and wants to help me brush up on mine before I leave, I would be very appreciative. I haven't spoken it since December...
Thanks again to everyone who's been so nice about my surgery. It may have been minor, but it was still scary and it's going to be a long healing process. But thank god I won't ever get tonsillitis again!
