Today is the fourth day since I started working. I still get tired easily, and my memory and thinking skills seem to have deteriorated. Hopefully, this too will recover as I fully regain my strength.
Reflected this morning that apart from three men teachers in our school, I am the only one 'uterusless' and 'cervixless'. Not a very pleasant thought, doubtless, but life goes on.
I realise that too many women are selfless and self-sacrificing, especially if they are mothers. Do we pamper ourselves enough? Do we all have a bucket list? Are all the guilt trips we take whenever we buy something for ourselves necessary? Until I took off my jewellery at the bank before the surgery, did it dawn fully upon me that I had come to this world empty-handed. Retail therapy is still so much fun right now. I am still in a euphoria, celebrating life, family and health.
