Coping With Healing
Before Thanksgiving I was exploring my options with jobs. There were a couple of interviews that were done and unfortunately one was good for me or it wasn’t good enough for them and I didn’t get a call or email back. One would have been too difficult to train for with all the driving on…

Defeated
For the past couple of days I have felt that way. I can’t keep up with my posts lately, since last Thursday I have been in a state of bewilderment. Due to my cousin’s assistance in coaching me through my interview I was more prepared than I have ever been for one. However, I was…

What Am I Thankful For…

Graduated… Again

One Friday night I’m not sure it was even an entire month after surgery. I had my bandage taken off at that point,…

Queasy
Yesterday I actually got to watch as my Therapist took apart my bandage. I don’t think I have really observed it due to the angles of the surgical site on my arm. This time though I saw the bandage come undone and then the boatloads of gauze keeping my surgical site dry and clean. Still…

Flowers & Food Create Smiles
Today is a week, since surgery. I’m itchy more than achy like I was at this stage back in March. The heat has been more irritating than anything besides my nausea the last few days. The nausea usually goes away by afternoon the itchiness and heat don’t. Still I’m just feeling blessed that this journey…

Why!
Perspective matters. The word coincidence has very little meaning in the grand schematics of God’s will. Last week was my 4th surgery, dealing with one issue, in the delicate area between both my wrists and arms. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe I would become, literally, a professional patient against my will. Except…
