Yesterday I announced my health crisis on Facebook & Twitter. According to my twitter BFF @NLitvin it was like "coming out". I had been keeping this information closely guarded among a tight circle of friends & family. I did this because I didn't want to become another "Cancer Blogger". There is more to me than this. Anyway, yesterday was a tough day & I realized how isolated I felt, so I decided to tell everybody.
My prognosis is good, I am a person of faith & am generally an optimistic person, but my surgery is next week & I am scared out of my mind. I am a caregiver for my mother and I am making arrangements for people to look after her while I am in the hospital. Yesterday I realized all I had to do yet before the surgery for my mom & the house we share and I had a melt down. I am better today. This afternoon I have a final pre surgery visit with my surgeon and am prepared with a list of questions. My brother is going with me. My cousin from Cleveland is coming to stay at our house & help my mother out. I love them both very much. Big thank yous to both of you!
Keeping you close in thought and prayer. As well as your Mom, Cousin and household. I think now is a good time to share your life!!! Be strong, keep the faith and know that God is just a breath away! ♥♥♥♥
