Good evening all!
I know it's been several months since I last wrote, and as I always tell my kids, "no news is good news".
Today marks my 2 year anniversary of my surgery. In talking with my best friend tonight, it some ways it's feel like an eternity, and than other moments it feels just like it was yesterday. I will admit, that I've had many different emotions throughout today. Feelings of relief that it has been two years, and that I'm not laying in the hospital. Feelings of sadness, in that even though I have come so far, there are days where I feel I'm back at square one. Feelings of praise and thankfulness to my husband Tim for being there at every step forward and backward. Thankfulness to my family and friends who so selfishly gave their time or services to anything that was needed. And of course to my Heavenly Father who gave me the strength to keep moving on when I just felt I couldn't do it.
I have come so far! That's not to say that there are not days of nausea and stomach spasms that keep me in bed for the day. But the good days are definitely out weighing the bad at this point. Since I last wrote, I am now a different concoction of meds, and they seem to be helping a little more than in the past, and I'll take that!! My kids still make fun of my pill dispenser, and still make fun of me when I'm popping my 8 pills with every meal, but hey whatever works, right? My motto still stands, "one day at a time".
I hope this finds you all well! I thank you again for being with me, and praying with me through this journey! I am blessed!
Love,
Lisa
