brief update

yesterday, my mom and i took sophie on her first shopping trip.
we went to target.
it was surreal. i felt like i was dreaming while i was there.
i felt like everyone should be constantly catering to me like i've been experiencing in the hospital and with my family... so when random strangers don't hold the door for me or they cut me off or don't let me go through doors first and stuff.
but, hey, they don't know what i've been through...
i'm starting to feel more like a regular person today.
except for the engorged mammary glands! and elephantitis of the ankles.
