It's been a weird week. My weight is going away nicely, but I ended up needing the Climara patch to keep me from crying at stupid stuff. Apparently my estrogen levels have taken quite a drop since surgery. And then it took my pharmacy like three days to get a grip on the prescription and have it available, so by the time I got the patch yesterday I was ready to go over the counter and explain things physically to the very sweet pharmacist. He looked like he just wanted to give me a candy bar and make me sane
Anyway, I got the patch, and then I decided to drop in on TJ Maxx because my lovely mom and her lovely sapphire credit card were with me, and she is nice like that. Also I think she didn't want me to cry.
I hauled 15 things into the fitting room. I ended up with a size 14 Calvin Klein tank dress, a size L skirt, two size L tops, and a size 14 one-piece swimsuit that will be too big in a month but fits now. In fact, I think most of that stuff will be too big in a month or two, but OMG I CAN WEAR NORMAL SIZES NOW!
I haven't been able to shop in normal sizes in years. YEARS. I think my hormones fixed themselves at the cash register.
