My handsome helpful humanitarian warrior had surgery earlier this week, and he is a bad patient. He is bad at resting, bad at chilling, very bad at doing nothing.
Very bad, 0/10, does not respect couch arrest.
And he’s still in a lot of pain, and I think it’s because his lack of rest is impeding his healing.
WHICH IS A NOTE TO US ALL, sliced open or not, that we need to rest to heal! To deal, even!!
He, oddly, has been requesting banana bread. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen him eat banana bread in all the time we’ve been together, but a gimpy man gets what a gimpy man wants and after polling my amazing team at work, I made this banana bread recipe. It is PHENOMENAL. Easy peasy, delicious, and he doesn’t even know (yet) that I swapped einkorn for flour and used two dead bananas and one normal banana and it all worked out perfectly.
SO I am grateful for banana bread. And more grateful for a successful bicep repair with no complications!
I am also grateful for:
- The fam in CO at the cabin! SO MUCH FUN.
- The cabin.
- The weather in CO.
- The walking in CO.
- Miner Street Saturdays.
- Breakfast places that serve lunch.
- The Vintage Moose & our friends there.
- Service Partners lunch! SO amazing to meet the contractors who use the Arise(r) Platform.
- The Vonlane – the fancy bus – the ONLY way to go from Dallas to Austin.
- Walker (the TV show) possibly the only thing anchoring the bad patient to the couch.
- The random tree guys who stopped by and did a phenomenal job removing limbs.
- Latte a la dada.
- My fraaaaaands who are the cutest, just over text message.
- And, again, HEALTH. Nothing like someone else’s injury to remind me how much I value a healthy body and mind.
