howeverbriefThings I've learned in the past year:
Breaking stuff can happen really quickly, even if you're healthy and have never broken anything like it before.
Stairs are terrifying.
Handicap services are totally helpful when you need them.
Muscle mass is easy to lose and much harder to get back.
You can lose joints in your foot via surgery just so you can walk sometime again.
I used to walk really fast.
People notice a lot more than I give them credit for.
It's possible to have an infection for a long time without realizing what it is.
You can breathe without feeling constantly congested. It just might take surgery.
Also, a carryover from last year: Don't blow your nose after you get your wisdom teeth out. You could cause yourself a rare problem that messes up half your year.
My mother and new family members are very supportive.
Marriage is different than I thought it would be. It's much harder but also more fulfilling in ways I didn't know existed.
I married a decent man.
I have forgotten what it's like to live alone. I'm okay with that.
Sometimes, even though it seems like a diagnosis fits, your cat is just a jerk.
Even if you've been through something multiple times, you can feel totally unprepared for what's ahead.
I thought I had more to say, but I'm going to leave it there. Happy 2015.
