Unrestricted

My condition has improved considerably.

I am genuinely happy that I can casually go out for a meal or have a drink again.

It is not that I want to overindulge.

Simply knowing that I can eat or drink whenever I want seems to make me feel lighter than I expected.

Have I returned to an ordinary life?

I still have regular hospital visits.

Compared with before the surgery, I certainly need to use the bathroom more often.

But I have grown accustomed to that as well.

I am learning to live comfortably with my body as it is.

I do not feel restricted.

Perhaps that matters more than whether restrictions actually exist.
