You know you're starting to feel better when...

...you start to pluck chin hairs again.
...you want to make an appointment to get the carpets and couches cleaned.
...you wear ALL your underwear again.
...it takes less than an hour to shower, wash your hair, and get dressed.
...physical therapy is only a minor bother now.
...you crave (well, really wish you could eat it right now) chips & salsa, mushroom/sausage pizza, a macadamia caramel cluster from Costco.
...you wonder if you could handle a trip to Walmart without using a wheelchair--and would it be worth putting on makeup and real shoes?
...you wake up in the morning and you're sleeping on your favorite side--and it only hurts a little.
...you can laugh out loud, sneeze, and cough without holding your tummy.
...you want to get in the car and take a long drive with the windows down.
...you start making a grocery list again.
...you can read books and magazines without getting nauseous.
...you can brush your teeth without getting nauseous.
...you start checking Facebook.
...you want to write thank-you notes.
...you want to read your scriptures.
...you don't care if someone sees you shuffling to the mailbox in your slippers.
...you want to sit at the table and have a blessing on the food when you eat dinner.
...you don't dream about hospitals every night.
...you want to sing again.
