The Gift of Massage
Months back I had received a lovely spa gift certificate for some much needed pampering and to help nudge along the recovery spririts. I was honest with the gift giver to say that I so looked forward to the day I could really enjoy it.
Really enjoy it?
There’s no doubt that I could have used it earlier and completely benefited from the treatments, but in my head, I knew that things were still “settling in” and I wanted to lay on my stomach for a massage…which takes time. As much as I power through things, I knew I might not be completely comfortable with moving around, or making someone feel like they need to use kid gloves on me. Well, those days are gone.
I’m pleased to say just over 6 months from the mastecomy and three months past the last implant replacement, I enjoyed the most lovely massage and spa treatments. Felt like the best session I’ve ever had, but equally, I think it goes to that old saying, “It’s worth waiting for!”
