Big D Delusional

So as anyone reading this probably knows I had foot surgery on Monday...a lovely cut the bone, screw it back together and move the cartilage type of foot surgery. So from that description any normal person would understand that it would hurt, and probably quite a lot.

Well I went into this with a great deal of optimism, I'll be fine, this will be painless and I'll be up and back to normal life within a week. WRONG! I'm getting along ok, but let me tell you, walking is not exactly a walk in the park and what I now fondly refer to as the scoot up the stairs is near disaster. But why did I think this was going to be pain free...hmm, not really sure. And is it better to think that something is going to be painless and go forward with enthusiasm or live your life always anticipating pain and waiting for the other shoe to drop. And if you move forward with the first, are you delusional thinking that life won't hurt and things will turn out for the best? Probably...but wouldn't you rather hope for the best than spend your life waiting for the worst? I think I would, so call me delusional if you wish, I like it this way!
