SURGERY DATE - Friday, February 19th
I've noticed that each time I have a 'serious' communication with the Cancer Clinic or test, my knees turn to jelly. I don't have clear thoughts or fears, just 'foggy brain' at the time! At first I was excited to get a date that is sooner than expected, but once the 'lovely' person finished giving me all the info, the moments after hanging up, were the yuckiest I've experienced so far. I already woke up at 6:00 feeling 'fluish'. I'm having a bout of severe back pain, and think that's why my stomach was upset.
Today the Cancer Clinic called with a date for surgery - Friday, February 19th. I'll have one more appointment with them. And UBC hospital will let me know on the 18th, what time the surgery will be.
As 'The Day has now been set, of course it's become very real. I can't say that unwanted scenarios haven't been trespassing on my peace of mind, but…. I make the decision throughout the day to live in the moment and, accept and enjoy whatever the day brings.
It feels like Larry & I have been on vacation since Christmas, with all the wonderful day-trips we've enjoyed. Between retirement & Covid 19 restrictions, we find this time quite stress free. I absolutely do not take for granted the blessing of a wonderful husband. We're so grateful for this time, which has been a great gift to us. It's very helpful that we not only 'love' each other, but really 'like' each other (99.9% of the time)!
I am grateful for soooooooo much! God has made my heart full, with love and prayers for you. I am grateful for You! God bless you!
