Wednesday Affirmation From Fruitycake and Update From Girl Person

This is Fruitycake.  My daily affirmation and encouragement is a joint effort today with Girl Person.  Why? Because neither of us is having a fully productive day.  We need each other to be able to encourage anyone else.  

That’s ok.  Actually, it’s more than ok to not be our best some days. It’s not possible to be our best all the days. 

And when those days come, you need to reach in your back pocket, if you’re wearing pants, which I don’t recommend most of the time…but this time it’s ok.  Reach in your back pocket and ask for help.  It’s time for today’s affirmation and then there will be an update from Girl Person on her recovery.  

I will ask for help today when I need it.  Asking for help is not a weakness.  Asking for help is kind to me and it also helps someone else feel needed.  Asking for help gives an example to others that we  need each other and that motivates others to be kind.  I love asking for help because I love others and I love me!

Now…it time for Girl Person with her surgery and health update. 

This is Girl Person. Many have asked for a health update, and when I will be traveling back to Italy from the USA. So I wanted to briefly give you an update. 

I had surgery on May 20th, which was far more complicated than anticipated.  My wonderful doctor was a blessing, along with my mom who has taken such good care of me. I am truly grateful for them and you, our 2 Traveling Dogs family for helping me get to this point of recovery.  

I am continuing to try and rest, under doctors orders.  I cannot exercise for another two weeks. And have some issues with incisions now, pain and sickness.  Resting has been the hardest part. And being away from Boy Person and Fruitycake.  That being said, I am not the person I was when I left and I will not have the same physical capabilities from this experience.  So we are making decisions on how to move forward.

We will keep you informed and updated.  But I know you’ll understand for now that I have to get better, and I can’t stress myself out now with judgement or comments that I know I’ll get when we do make those decisions.  It just happens… and I have to be prepared.  Just not now 🙂  

I do know that the majority of our 2 Traveling Dogs family has been and will be here! I love you all so much and our plans for the future is to be better for you so we all can make a difference more than ever! 

I plan, at this time to be fly back June 23, arrival in Italy June 24.  If I rest.  What will happen after that? I’m scared. I don’t know. But I know if we pray, and work in conjunction with those prayers, all will work out.  My life and animals’ lives are dependent on this step forward.  

That’s the update for now and I love you! More than you know.
