A dr's appointment and a yoga class

The days seem to fly by, more so now that I am feeling well enough to enjoy my life pain free. Tuesday I had my 6 week check-up with Dr. C. I'm not going to lie, I was alittle scared for this appointment. I have been mentally preparing myself for this day since pre surgery. I always play the "what if" card. I knew that emotionally I was going to be a mess if by chance when he did the exam to check my stitches that it hurt.
As the nurse handed me my sheer white sheet to cover up with I contemplated walking out.(of course I didn't) The wait for the doctor seemed to go on forever. When he finally walked in I grinned the hugest grin ever. I wanted to attack him and give him the biggest hug ever. I owe this man my life in some sense. Anyways, he did the exam, I practiced my concentrated breaths while he did his thing and I didn't feel a thing. He began poking around and NOTHING. No endometriosis pain, post op pain, or anything. I was so happy I could have cried. My restrictions were lifted and he said I was able to resume all normal activity..
My mind instantly wandered to....yoga.. I was so anxious to get back into my yoga class at the ymca, oh how I had missed that class.
Pre hysterectomy my endometriosis pain was so intense. The thought of bending in yoga class made my abdominal area ache. I attended class a few times here and there, I just couldnt justify the pain the day after.
There is a huge difference between thinking of doing something post op and actually following through with it. I have said I wanted to try so many new things and have yet to because of fear. Going to yoga class was going to need to be a spur of the moment thing, so I didnt psych myself out. I met up with the ex for a late lunch, we talked and took a walk through the mall. I had some time after we left one another before going to a friends house. I ended up back at my house eagerly jumping into my yoga gear and out the door to class.Needless to say I didn't meet up with my friend.
While at yoga class I said i wouldn't do anything I didn't feel comfortable doing. The instructor mostly concentrated on leg and neck support, not to much involving the abdominal area. I was thankful and felt like I had been meant to be there.
I made it through class and felt this rush of stress come out as well as an intense appreciation for my new life. I woke up this morning feeling even more on a high. There is no pain and my pelvic area feels so good.

Now if only I could convince myself to get back into running...
