WOW I can't believe it's been 3 years since I had my kidney removed. I remember it so vividly...the fear was so consuming. I remember arriving at the hospital at 6 am and waiting for surgery at 9. I had already been crying for weeks leading up to this day, but I still had more tears.
When they told me I had Cancer I never imagined I would still be here today. I know we have come a very long way with treatments, but hearing those words forces all rational right out the window. It feels like an instant death sentence.
Today I took the time to reflect and remember the last 3 years. This has been a very difficult road to travel; especially in recent months since my third surgery, but I know how fortunate I am. I have taken time today to count my blessings and pray for a little less difficult road.
Tonight we celebrated what we call my "re-birthday" by having pizza "my" way (double cheese and pepperoni), playing games, ending with a cake. A NO fighting rule was in effect for the day which made it relaxing & amazing.
Sammie gave me a gift certificate making me realize yet again how much she means to me and this family. We would have never made it through without her jumping into the "mom role" to help care for the kids when I could not.
I am so grateful for so many things yet wishful for so many more.
