I was completely overwhelmed and impressed by the love and care that everyone gave me after my tonsillectomy! I don't really feel like I can completely express my thankfulness, but I'm going to try.
Firstly, my family went above and beyond to make me happy and comfortable the entire recovery. From buying me special food that they begged me to eat, to taking time out to just sit on the couch and snuggle with me to help me feel better, to staying up all night with me to give me medicine and keep me company during my weird sleeping schedule, my family gave themselves to me lovingly and without complaint for over two weeks and it meant so much to me.
Besides my family, precious friends checked on me daily through text messages and facebook messages and wall posts--asking me how I was doing, praying for me, rooting for my recovery. Some people even took out hours from their days to come visit me, even though I was the worst company ever. My friends were content watching movies "with me" while I fell asleep on their shoulders or just zoned out completely. Seriously, I was the most boring person on the planet for at least 3 weeks and somehow people were loving enough to spend time with me anyways.
I was taken on a walk via wheelchair, which was perfect! I was brought a dry erase board and markers for when I couldn't talk--which I definitely needed some of the time! I was given tea that I loved! I was given a super fuzzy amazing blanket that I used the whole time! I was brought chocolate soy milk--my favorite drink like...ever! And the list goes on.
But mostly, guys, I really really really want to thank you all so much for the love you showed me. I can't really express how much it meant to me and still means, but really, the love and care that everyone showed me honestly made my recovery so much easier and better. Every note, every visit and every prayer made a huge difference. I had a hard time expressing it very well while I was drugged up, but I was, and still am, extremely thankful for all of the love shown to me.
I am so thankful to God for such amazing and supportive friends. I love you guys all so much!! Thanks for being there for me, I will try to always be there for you too!
