Well, it has been quite the emotional day today. Happy moment: I will once again be able to enjoy the tasty Jello and meat loaf from the kitchen of Mission Hosptial. Not so happy moment...more surgery, and this time, it's big....BIG BIG.
Through the ups and downs of the day, I found the happy moments that came along in the form of wonderful conversations with family members, offers of a shoulder to cry on, ice cream and chocolate ganache, and lots of opportunities for prayer.
Today was one of those days where this blog is my reason for finding the joy, and I am so very glad that I can. After my surgery, it is going to take a while to get my hand up and working again as the nerve will be pulled once more....this blog TRULY helped me get my fingers moving again, and when I couldn't do it, I had David to help me...so there will be loving husband moments coming :-)
Tomorrow is another day, and I have thought of so very many things already today. I look forward to making each day before my next surgery (sometime mid March) count. Because I am all too aware of what post surgery days will bring (lots of weight loss and television shows...) ok not just that, pain pain, and certainly MORE pain being off any and ALL anti-inflammatory medication. But I know we can do it, I know I am going to learn more about myself from this next part of my journey, and I know that I will not be alone. I am grateful for all of that knowing that lies ahead! Happy Monday all!
