My First Long Walk After My Nasal Operation! I Was Greeted With Beautiful Sunshine Outside!
I really thought I could live happily without those basic things I used to do, but this is how I discovered how hard it really is not to do anything at home. I feel like I am bedridden, even though I feel fine, but the inside is still not. My oldies are being extra careful with me, as they don't want me to get an infection or whatever. I can understand, though, but I've discovered that it's really hard not to do anything. All I did these past few days was eat, sleep, and repeat, lol.
I can't really do much at home after I got released from the hospital on February 7. I can't do my laundry, I can't cook, I can't do the dishes, I can't walk around because I might bleed, I can't laugh out loud, and I feel like taking a bath is also not allowed, so it takes days before I take a shower. And what's worse, I can't go outside to enjoy the morning breeze because, as you know, we have lots of pets. I can put on a facemask, but I can't truly enjoy it if I have it on. So during those times that I can't do anything, I am just in my room using my phone and trying not to be bored. I'm becoming more of a lazy cat now, what if I get used to this? Lol.
Until today, I still had to be extra careful because there was still a stain of blood on my nose whenever I used a nasal spray and had to spit. When I used force and had to do something, that's when it bled. My oldies always get mad at me whenever that happens, lol. It's been ten days since I had that operation, but it seems like I'm still not fully recovered. I just remembered my first surgery. I think it took only a week, and I am already doing a lot of things. Well, I'm still young back then, so, arghh ಥ‿ಥ.
Anyways, yesterday, after feeling myself, I decided to have a morning walk outside, but my real purpose in doing that was to go to the nearest eatery in our place and to buy Pancit for our breakfast. I've been craving it so much that I am determined to actually go there. Yep, for the love of food, lol. And it's like hitting two birds with one stone, haha. And you know, I know I made the right decision when I saw this.
And because I'm still careful here, I am really taking my time to enjoy this view. I am walking slowly, just enjoying the cold breeze too. It was a bit chilly that morning, and I wore a jacket just to be sure. I am also wearing a facemask, as per the suggestion of my doctor. It's windy, so who knows how much dust I have to inhale if I don't wear a facemask?
And by the way, I can reach this place for five minutes using my usual walk, but that time, it took me 10 minutes to actually reach it because of how slow I was at that time. And of course, I'm already slow at that time, so I just take that time to take photos along the way, just like this. And you know, I didn't take this route for like a week, but when I take this route yesterday, there's already a newly opened eatery on this spot. They sell fried chicken and some milk tea, and, oh, they also sell different dishes here. And mind you, they were already open at that time. But I didn't buy on them though, I still buy at the usual place. Ill try them maybe some other time.
I'm getting close to the eatery, and my, look at that beauty. Mr. Sunny is slowly showing his mightiness. This is the time when I'm really sad because I can only show this and not the actual circle of Mr. Sunny. I tried zooming it in, but jeez! The result is still the same. I couldn't capture it beautifully on my phone, but my eyes remember it all. I even stopped for a minute to get a good angle in here and to also admire this. We are really living in a beautiful world.
I missed this ಥ_ಥ. I am glad I witnessed such beauty. And I am very, very glad that I pushed myself to take this short walk.
I finally arrive at my destination, I just need a few more steps to reach it. It is the one with the car. That's where I buy pancit and some dishes, like cooked vegetables.
There are a few people already having breakfast here. There's more inside that actually having their own Pancit, hehe. Pancit is one of the dishes that is best paired with hot bread or pandesal or even woth rice. But I love it to pair with hot pandesal, a perfect combination for me. Mom bought a pandesal that morning, having it paired with pancit is the best!
Aside from having a heavy meal that morning, I also had a lovely time on the road. And because I'm early, it's just 6:25 a.m. at that time, and the road is still almost empty. The weather is gloomy, but I like it. And even if I have a mask on my face, inhaling the air through my nose will always be the best experience for me.
It's the first time after weeks of just staying at home, and finally I experience again the beauty of the world outside, even if just for a short time.
yohoo, when I saw that oatmeal cookies, healthy snack came into my mind
Hehe thats one of my fav now. I want to buy it again ssna ee.
So good to know na okay yung operation.. Worth spending on hehe...
Hehw salamat madam, di palang talaga fully recovered.
Praying for your fast recovery! I craved for pancit while reading this! 😅
Thanksss, it's time to buu or cook it now ehe.
Recovering from surgery takes time. Many times we think that we will heal quickly but in reality it is much more complex than that and must not only heal externally but also internally.
Of course, not being able to do activities or having to stay at home starts to be annoying but it is the best thing. Then when you recover, you feel that happiness returns to your body, but you have to be patient until that moment. I hope you have a good recovery.

Now, I know that (◍•ᴗ•◍). That's why I just listen to my oldies and take mt time to recover. But im also starting to do some simple task, the one that doesn't require strength. Jusy those basic things.
Thank You (◍•ᴗ•◍)
I'm glad you were able to go for a walk again. Recovering from surgery must be challenging. I understand that there are limitations post-operation, which can be tough and depressing. However, as you mentioned, finding pleasure in the simple activities of our daily lives is important. I hope you continue to recover little by little!
Your photos are beautiful!
Thank Youuuuu, it's really challenging but I got this now. I hope to recover fully soonest ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾

Hehe, I will, thank you (◍•ᴗ•◍)
